's impossible for anyone else to define YOU.
任何人都不可能定義你
You are indefinable. You are the only one in this world who gets to say who you are.
你是不能被定義的。這個世界上只有你才能定義自己。

were born with everything you need.
你生來就擁有你所需要的一切
You are whole and complete, and were gifted every talent and insight you needed to thrive in this world in the moment you were born. Your only job is to accept this truth and then allow it to unfold. Some gifts don't become apparent until later in life. Some insights only become clear to you once you have life experiences that unlock such wisdom from within you. Trust in this and relax.
你生來就很完整，在你出生的那一刻，你被賦予了出色應對這個世界所需要的每一項天賦和領悟力。你唯一要做的就是接受這個事實，並且讓你的天賦和能力逐漸顯露出來。有些天賦在你人生的後場半纔會逐漸顯露出來。有些深刻的見解只有當你擁有釋放你內心智慧的生活經驗後纔會清晰明瞭。相信這一點，放鬆自己。

ection is a man-made illusion.
完美是人造的幻覺
We are beautifully imperfect beings, operating in a very imperfect world, and that is just the way it is meant to be. Striving for perfection is a hollow goal, one that can never be achieved. Embrace your quirks, your flaws and the fact that life is a roller coaster at times. Strive for excellence, have high standards… but never confuse that with the crippling behavior of perfectionism.
我們都是在不完美的世界中，美麗而不完美的存在，這纔是萬物該有的樣子。追求完美是一個空洞的目標，一個永遠無法實現的目標。擁抱你的怪癖，你的缺點，接受生活有時是過山車這樣的事實。追求卓越，對自己有高的標準……但永遠不要和完美主義混淆。

4. You are NOT your thoughts.
你不是你的想法
You are the witnessing essence and consciousness behind the noise in your mind. Your mind doesn't define you, nor does it control you. It is not who you are. As soon as you recognize this, by watching your thoughts like an intrigued third-party observer, you will create instant distance from those thoughts and therefore no longer be identified with or enslaved by them.
你見證並且意識到自己頭腦中各種噪音。你的想法不能定義你，也不能控制你。你的想法並不是你。一旦你意識到這一點，你就會像一個有趣的第三方觀察者來觀察你的想法，你會馬上和這些想法產生距離，這樣你就不再等同於它們或是被它們奴役。

beliefs can be modified to lift you up.
你可以改變信念，提升自己。
Whatever you believe to be true about yourself and life in the long-term becomes your reality. If your beliefs don't work in your favor, you can change them.
你長期對自己和生活信以爲真的事情，最終會變成現實。如果你的信念並不能讓你受益，那就改變它們。
