双语达人:嫁给自己 Marry Yourself

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
你自己，比全世界的其他人，更值得你的关爱和喜欢。

Prepare “soul vows.” These vows were deepest commitment to love, cherish, and deeply care for all parts of yourself in sickness and in health, until your time on the planet comes to an end.
准备好“灵魂誓言”。这些誓言是你内心对爱情、珍爱、和深藏在你内心的所有一切的最诚挚的承诺，无论生命健康与否，会跟随你直到你在这个世界最后一天。

Seeking love outside yourself will never bring fulfillment unless you possess radical, unshakable love for yourself.
在外面寻找真爱不能让你有完全的满足感，除非你对自己有彻底的不可动摇的爱。

With that knowing, these are some of Soul Vows:
有了这些共识，我们可以做出以下的灵魂誓言：

I vow to comfort myself during times of hopelessness, despair, depression, disillusionment, or any difficulty that arises.
我发誓，在绝望、沮丧、幻灭或任何困难出现的时候，我会安慰自己。

I vow to honor my calling and live my life as a work of art.
我发誓，以听到的号召为荣，让自己的人生活得像艺术品一样精彩。

Some vows were tender and some fierce—some private, and some to be shared with the world.

All vows were an expression of my soul’s calling and a deep desire to love myself and care for myself at the deepest possible level in all areas of my life.
所有的誓言都体现我灵魂的召唤，以及要爱护自己的强烈渴望，以尽可能深的程度在生活的各方面关爱自己。
