Take a good hard look in the mirror at yourself.
仔细看看镜中的自己
Face yourself, don’t let yourself become your own worst nightmare. Your body and your problems don’t define you, so don’t let them. You will never feel better about yourself if you’re always running from yourself. Write down what you love about yourself, not only physically, but as a whole. Write down what you don’t like about yourself, too. When you have these things in front of you ask yourself why you think and feel this way. If you can or want to make any adjustments, do so accordingly. Start heading in the right direction, slowly but surely to love the face looking back at you in the mirror.
面对自己，别让自己成为自己最恐怖的噩梦。你的身体，你的问题根本决定不了什么，所以别让它们局限了你。如果你总是逃避自己，你永远都不会开心。你爱自己什么，将它们写下来，不光是身体上的，所有方面的都记下来。同时，将你讨厌的也记录下来。之后要做的就是将它们放在你的面前，问问自己 为什么会这样想？如果你想做一些改变，那就做吧。慢慢地朝一个正确的方向发展，但你必须要做的是爱镜中注视着你的这张脸。
Be honest with yourself
别欺骗自己
Write down your goals and your aspirations; write down what makes you happy and what you love about a person. The most important person you can be honest with is yourself. If you’re not happy or satisfied with yourself, start there and soul search to discover why you’re not happy. Understand yourself and allow yourself to be who you really are. Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not in order to impress people, you can’t live a lie your whole life. Be honest with yourself and discover who you are in every single aspect of your life.
写下自己的目标和期望；什么会让你幸福，你到底爱一个什么样的人。对你来说，最不该欺骗，最重要的那个人就是你自己。如果你不开心，对自己感到不满意，那就从这做起，你的灵魂就会去探索到底你为什么不开心。理解自己，做自己。不要因为迎合别人而去假装，你不能一辈子都活在谎言中。做真实的自己，去发现生活中每一方面的自己。
Accept yourself
接受自己
You don’t have to jump right into loving yourself, but you at least have to start with accepting yourself. Accept that you are who you are and if you’re not proud of that make the necessary changes to better yourself. Understand that results don’t come instantaneously and hard work in order to improve your life takes time. Be the absolute best version of yourself and be proud of who you are, as a whole. Start with accepting yourself then before you know it you will begin loving yourself even more.
不是说你非得一下就要爱你自己，但至少你得开始接受自己，接受自己是怎么样一个人，但如果你不满意自己，那就试着去做一些必要的改变，让自己变得更好。要知道这个结果需要你长久地坚持，提升自我也是一项艰巨的任务，需要慢慢来。做最好的自己，以自己为傲，从接受自己开始，在你意识到之前，你已经比任何时刻都要爱你自己了。
Make your happiness a priority
开心最重要
You cannot be happy with someone else until you are happy alone. Don’t self-sabotage yourself and hope that someone can fix you because they can’t. You have to find yourself and take care of yourself. You have to fulfill your own wants and needs in order to be able to feel whole in a relationship and help them fulfill their wants and needs. Put yourself first while you’re alone, find the things that make you happy and never let them go.
如果你觉得自己一个人最开心，跟其他人在一起都不会开心的话，那你就不必自我糟践，期待这找一个人来补偿你，因为他们根本做不到。你必须找到自我，关心自己，满足自己的愿望和需求，这样你才会在一段恋爱关系中感觉到满足，才能帮助他们满足愿望以及需求，独自一人的时候记得永远把自己放在第一位，找到自己的爱好，珍惜它们。
Live in the now
活在当下
Stop letting moments pass you by, this is your life, this is your moment, you have to live in the now. If you’re continuously looking forward to the next thing you’ll never be happy or satisfied. You’ll always be looking for what’s the come and you’ll miss the moments and opportunities right in front of you. Enjoy the world the way it is now, so you can enjoy the world the way it is in the future without any regrets of what you might have missed out on. Appreciate the moments of solidarity, of loneliness, of self-growth and self-improvement. These feelings will all lead you to where you’re supposed to be.
珍惜当下，这是你的生活，你的时间，所以你一定要活在当下。如果你一直活在等待寻找中，你永远都不会开心，满足。你每天都沉浸在期盼中，殊不知眼前的时光和机会已悄然离去。只有享受了当前的生活，你才能在未来不留遗憾的享受每一天，学会感激自强自立，独自一人，自我成长，自我提升的时刻，这些将会带你走向你应该拥有的生活。
Learn from your mistakes
吸取教训
Everyone makes mistakes, everyone fails and everyone screws up, but the only thing that matters is what we do in those moments to improve. Take the lessons you’ve learned from this point in life pertaining to success, love and heartache and learn from them. See what works for you, see where you’ve succeeded and where you’ve failed and learn about yourself from those decisions.
人都会犯错，会失败，把事情弄糟，但问题是发生这样的事情之后，我们应该做些什么来提高自己，不管是生活中的成功，爱，或者悲痛，我们都要学会从中学习。看看你适合什么，你在哪方面成功了？又在哪里跌倒了，从这些结果中了解真正的自己。
Be polite and kind to everyone, including yourself
善待别人，善待自己
Be kind not only to yourself, but also others. The way you treat yourself is a direct reflection of how you allow others to treat you. Likewise, how you treat others is a reflection of how you treat yourself. If you don’t love yourself who will? You have to value your relationship with yourself and be kind to yourself, the only thing stronger than hate is love, so start learning to love yourself.
善待自己，更要善待别人。你对待别人的方式就是别人对待你的方式，就是说你怎么对待别人，别人才会怎样对你。你如果不爱自己，请问谁会？你要懂得忠于自己，善待自己，爱永远比恨的力量大得多，所以一切始于爱自己。
Fall in love with your life
爱生活
Love your life for everything you currently have it. Stop looking to fill the voids in your heart with love and start appreciating everything you already do have. Do something nice for your friends, call your family and tell them you love them and be all around appreciative for every part of your life, even the failures for they will provide lessons. Once you fall in love with your life things will start coming together as a whole, but you have to start somewhere, so start small and build up.
爱生活中你拥有的一切，不要总指望着用爱来填补自己内心的空虚，试着去感激你已经拥有的。对朋友好一点，多给家人打打电话，告诉他们你爱他们，感激生活中的方方面面，即使生活中会有失败，可它总会有值得你学习的地方，一旦你爱上自己的生活，所有美好的时候都会相伴而来，但前提是，你要开始啊，从小事做起，慢慢来。
Give people a chance
给别人一个机会
Stop judging people before you give them a chance, stop pushing people away and stop making up excuses for why someone isn’t good for you when they actually are. Stop trying to throw away perfectly good relationships because you don’t think you deserve them. Some relationships grow out and that’s the way out of, but that doesn’t mean you can’t allow others to grow in. Open your heart and your mind and give people a chance. Don’t pin point what is wrong with them, don’t focus on their flaws, but instead be open to their differences because we all have our flaws.
在你没有给别人机会之前，千万不要妄下定论，不要总是推开别人，当别人对你很好的时候，不要瞎编理由觉得人家对你不好，不要因为觉得自己配不上，就不敢踏出这一步。你失恋了，那也是该到分手的时候了，但这并不意味着你不能再接受别人了。敞开心扉，给他人一个了解你的机会，不要总是挑明他们哪错了，不要总是抓着他们的缺点不放，相反地，学会去发现他们的独特，因为人无完人。
Be truly happy
发自内心的快乐
Being happy is simple, yet extremely difficult but once you find happiness fully you will be ready for love. Once you find your passion and you never want to let it go. Once you love yourself through your flaws. Once you open your mind and your heart. Once you lay your flaws on the table and take a good hard look at yourself then you will be ready. Once you are happy with yourself and your life you will find love, when you can say it with honesty and that you really are genuinely happy, then you’ll be ready for love because the people who are happily in love with their lives shine, they shine so bright that other people want to be around them. Once you shine you will find love, but first you need to shine for yourself.
做一个快乐的人，很简单，也很难。但是一旦你真正找到幸福了，爱也就来了。只要你拥有激情，珍惜它们，只要你爱自己，不介意自己的缺点，只要你敞开心扉，只要你敢于将自己的不足展现出来，只要你仔细看看自己，那你就真的准备好了。一旦你满意自己，满意生活，你也就找到了爱，只要你敢于面对现实，那样你就会发自内心地开心，你也做好准备去迎接爱了，因为只有沐浴在爱中的人们才会才会散发着阳光的气息，他们是如此阳光，这样周围的人会不自觉地想要接近他们，只要你阳光，爱也就来了，但最最重要的是，你要先阳光自己。
如果你想要得到爱，其实跟你想爱谁无关，也不是要你去讨好他们，你真正要做的只跟你有关，找到自我，爱惜自己，珍惜生活，爱也就来了。
