Have you ever felt like you weren't good enough and that no matter what you did, you would never be good enough?

你是否曾經認為自己不夠好，而且不管做什麼都不夠優秀？

Do you sometimes unwittingly self-sabotage your self-esteem with bad thoughts?

你有時會無意間產生許多負面想法而破壞自尊嗎？

You're not alone.

並不是只有你有這種想法。

What you're feeling now is something many of us have experienced in our lives. We question ourselves if we're good enough and, more often than not, we feel we aren't.

你現在所感受到的是我們許多人生活中經歷過的事情。我們習慣懷疑自己是否夠好，而且通常都會認為自己有許多不足之處。

Modern-day society places so much pressure on us to succeed.

現代社會對成功的追求，讓我們承受莫大壓力。

In a world where everyone else's success and accomplishments are on full display, it's easy to feel inadequate if you don't have what they have.

在一個所有人都可以充分展示自己的成功和成就的環境中，很容易因為沒有他們擁有的一切而感到不足。

From making a certain amount of money to not having as many followers or connections, we end up automatically setting unrealistic goals and expectations for ourselves. Thanks, inner critic.

無論是賺到一定的錢或是吸引追蹤者或人脈，我們都會自動為自己設定不切實際的目標和期望。這些都是內心自我批評所害的。

Ｗe're generally fairly unforgiving to ourselves, and we don't deserve that.

我們通常都不會放過自己，但我們不應該那樣對待自己。

Here are 7 things you should keep in mind when you're feeling down about yourself and questioning your own self-worth.

當你對自己的表現感到失望並懷疑自己的價值時，請記住以下這 7 件事。

1. The grass isn't always greener on the other side.

1. 別人的處境不一定比你好。

They say comparison is the root of all unhappiness, and it's hard to argue with that kind of logic. After all, there's always gonna be someone out there who has more.

人們總是說比較是所有不快樂的根源，而這種道理很難反駁。畢竟，世界上總是會有人比你擁有更多。

More happiness, more money, even a nicer complexion.

無論是更多的快樂、更多的錢，或是更好的氣色。

These constant comparisons make us lose sight of, and even ignore, all of the good and wonderful things we have in our own lives and in ourselves.

這些不斷的比較使我們忽略甚至忽視了我們生活當中或是自己擁有的美好事物。

We've convinced ourselves we're nothing, and in doing so, we become progressively unhappier.

我們已經說服自己什麼都不是，這也導致我們變得越來越不快樂。

A little hint: those others who have more, they're people too, and they're comparing just like you. They might even be envious of something you have and they don't.

你要知道的是，那些比你擁有更多的，他們也是人，而他們和你一樣會比較。他們甚至有可能會羨慕你有但他們沒有的東西。

2. Your thoughts aren't your reality.

2. 你的想法並不等同於現實。

In many ways, we can be our own worst enemy, especially when we talk down to ourselves, letting our doubts and insecurities get the better of us.

很多時候，我們是自己最大的敵人，尤其在我們貶低自己時，讓那些疑惑和缺乏安全感的情緒控制我們。

We all have cruel and discouraging thoughts from time to time, so hold on to the fact that, bottom line, they're just thoughts.

無論是誰偶爾都會有殘酷或挫折的想法，但是至少那只是自己的想法。

You have the power to choose how to deal with your own thoughts. They don't have to define your reality and change the way you feel about yourself.

你有權力去決定如何面對自己的想法。你的想法不需要定義你的現實生活並改變你對自己的看法。

Don't be so quick to believe everything you think when you feel down and lonely.

在你感到沮喪或孤獨時，不要相信自己所有的想法。

3. Your worst traits and mistakes don't define you.

3. 你最糟糕的特質或是犯過的錯並不代表你這個人。

Self-acceptance, self-love, and compassion towards ourselves: these are all things most of us struggle to accomplish throughout our lives, especially when we're perfectionistic.

接受自己、愛自己、還有同情自己都是我們大多數人一生中都很難達成的事，尤其在我們追求完美時。

It can be difficult to feel like you're good enough when you're so aware of all your flaws and imperfections. You need to remind yourself that your worst traits and mistakes don't define you.

當你總是糾結於自己的缺陷或不足之處，要肯定自己夠優秀可能會是很困難的一件事。你必須提醒自己，你最糟糕的特質或犯過的錯並不代表你這個人。

Be kind to yourself and celebrate all of your best qualities, because even on your worst days, there's always more right than wrong with you, and that should be enough.

善待自己，並珍惜自己所有最好的特質，因為即使在最糟糕的日子裡，你身上的好事肯定比壞事多，這樣就夠了。

4. You are enough.

4.你已經很棒了。

Being a work in progress is great, it means you're progressing. The best of us are works in progress, it means constant improvement.

持續成長的你很棒，因為代表你有在進步。我們都正在通往變得更好的自己的路上，在這個過程中，我們持續的進步。

There's no rule stating you need to have it all figured out, so keep learning and appreciate that progress means you're constantly getting better.

沒有人說你做什麼都要一次就上手，所以繼續學習並接受持續的成長代表你一直在進步。

Perfection is a myth.

不可能所有事情都做到完美。

You may still have a long way to go, but look at how far you've come. Take pride in yourself for making it this far, and make the most of where you are right now: all the best things in life take time.

你可能還有許多進步的空間，但是看看自己進步了多少。為自己所做的一切感到自豪，並珍惜自己現在所處的狀態：生活中所有美好的事物都需要時間才能獲得。

5. You deserve to be loved and cared for.

5. 你值得被愛護和照顧。

Famous author Stephen Chbosky said it best when he wrote "We accept the love we think we deserve". Remember those words for perspective the next time you're wallowing in self-doubt and self-pity.

著名作家史蒂芬．切波斯基寫道：「我們總是接受，自認為應得的愛。」時，說得最好。下次你沉迷於自我懷疑和自怨自艾時，請記住這些話。

We all get upset with ourselves at times. No matter how angry or ashamed you may feel, never let it stop you from accepting the kindness and compassion of others.

大家都會偶爾對自己不滿。無論你再怎麼生氣或羞愧，都不要讓這些情緒阻止你接受他人的善待和同情。

Often times, it's when we feel like we deserve it the least that we need love the most.

很多時候，當我們覺得自己不值得被愛，是我們最需要愛的時候。

6. Sometimes, all that matters is the here and now.

6. 人生最重要的是把握現在，珍惜今天。

It's far too common to encounter those who get so hung up on their past that they become stuck, unable to move forward in life.

那些過於沉迷過往而陷入困境、無法繼續往前走的人太常見了。

Also, there are those who let their anxiety and anticipation of the future keep them from enjoying the present.

另外，也有一些人會因為自己的焦慮或對未來的期待而無法好好享受當下。

Truthfully, sometimes, all that matters is the here and now. Being more mindful of the present moment brings a certain peace of mind that you just don't get from wasting your time fretting over the past or the future.

事實上，人生最重要的是把握現在，珍惜今天。活在當下會帶來一種心平氣和的狀態，是你浪費時間煩惱過去或未來無法達到的狀態。

7. You are worthy and you matter.

7. 你是有價值的，你很重要。

Finally, but perhaps most importantly, remember that you're worthy.

最後，也是最重要的，你要記住自己是有價值的。

You are someone, you're the only you to ever exist in the universe.

你很重要，世界上只有一個你。

Have you ever wished that you were someone else who seemed to have it all in life?

你是否曾經希望自己是生活中似乎擁有一切的人？

The truth is, what you see on the surface might not be true, because you're comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone else's highlight-reel. Trying to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.

事實上，你在表面上所看到的不一定是真的，因為你把自己私底下的狀態和別人的精彩片段做比較。試圖變成別人會浪費自己獨有的特色。

You do you as no one else can.

只有你能做自己，別人無法效仿你。

Allow yourself the freedom to feel scared, unsure, and uncomfortable sometimes, knowing that you'll succeed in spite of all these things.

偶爾可以讓自己感到害怕、不確定或難受的情緒，但也要記住即便這些事情發生，你還是會成功。

When you love and believe in yourself, you'd be surprised at how much further you can go. Be a rockstar.

當你愛自己、相信自己時，你會非常驚訝地發現自己可以走多遠。好好做自己吧！
