为什么要一直做自己?

你为什么要一直做自己?

Because you will:

因为你可以：

1.Live in alignment with your values and beliefs. Being yourself is all about knowing what you believe in and the values that you live by. When you are not yourself, you will take on the values and beliefs of others. This is when you start conforming to other people’s expectations and way of thinking. When you know your values and why you do what you do, you will live according to your own values and beliefs.

按照你的价值观和信仰生活。做你自己就是要知道你的信仰和你赖以生存的价值观。当你不是自己的时候，就会接受别人的价值观和信仰。这是你开始遵从别人的期望和思维方式的时候，当你知道你的价值观以及你为什么要做你所做的事情时，你就会按照你自己的价值观和信仰生活。

2.Establish your own identity. When you are able to have a solid foundation of being you, you are establishing your own sense of identity. No matter what happens in your life, you will always know who you are. There will be times where you may feel lost or distracted, but if you have your own identity you’ll be able to get back on the right path. Without establishing your own identity, you may easily conform and lose yourself.

建立自我认同。当你有了成为自己的坚实基础，你就建立了自己的认同感。无论你的生活中发生了什么，你总是知道你是谁。有时你可能会感到迷失或心烦意乱，但如果你有自己的认同感，你就能回到正确的道路上。反之，你很容易随波逐流，迷失自我。

3.Build courage. It takes a great amount of courage when you decide to take the path that goes against the crowd. The reason why the majority of people take the broad path is because it’s easy. It’s easy to just follow the crowd. It’s more of a challenge when you stay true to yourself and establish your own identity. This challenge of always being yourself takes courage and inner strength. No matter what comes your way, you’ll know how to handle it.

建立勇气。当你决定走与大众背道而驰的道路时，你需要很大的勇气。大多数人选择这条路的原因是因为它很简单，因为随波逐流很容易。更大的挑战是保持真实的自我，建立自己的认同感。这种挑战需要勇气和内在的力量。不管发生什么事，你都知道如何处理。

4. Establish boundaries. When you are always yourself, you know what your limits are and the boundaries that you have set for yourself. When people cross your boundaries, you will know. But if you don’t establish boundaries, people may very well walk all over you and take advantage of you. If you are always yourself and you establish boundaries, you are more likely to be aware when people start taking advantage of you.

建立边界。当你总是做你自己的时候，你知道你的极限是什么，你为自己设定的界限是什么。当人们跨越你的界限时，你就会知道。但是如果你不设立界限，人们很可能会踩着你走，占你的便宜。如果你总是做你自己，建立了界限，当人们开始利用你时，你更有可能意识到。

5. Find focus and direction. When you are always yourself, you are more likely to have focus and direction in your life. Imagine someone who is constantly conforming to other people’s expectations. Do you think this person has focus and direction? I don’t think so. When you stay true to who you are, you are more likely to know the goals you want to accomplish and how to go about accomplishing them. You are able to stay focused and know which direction to take in order for you to accomplish your goals.

找到重点和方向。当你总是做自己的时候，你更有可能在你的生活中有重点和方向。想象一下，一个人总是符合别人的期望，你认为这个人有重点和方向吗?我不这么认为。当你做真实的自己时，你更有可能知道你想要实现的目标以及如何去实现它们。你能够保持专注，知道为了实现你的目标应该朝哪个方向走。

No matter what you experience in life, the only person that will always remain constant is you.

无论你在生活中经历了什么，唯一能保持不变的人就是你自己。
