We all want to do better, be better and feel better. But, according to wellness activist and self-described "cancer thriver" Kris Carr, that can only happen if you’ve first done one important thing: accept yourself.

我们都希望自己可以做得更好、变得更好、感觉更好。但是，这位健康先锋，自称“癌症斗士”的克丽丝·卡尔认为，这些的前提首先要做到很重要的一点：接受自己。

Self-acceptance is the foundation for living a better life, Carr says. Seeking that better life is something everyone does. How you seek it, though, is crucial in determining whether or not you’ll find it.

卡尔表示，自我认同是活得更好的基础。每个人都在寻求更好的生活，而如何寻求，则是你是否成功的关键所在。

So, Carr continues, you must be very clear on what acceptance is — and what it isn't. With three powerful quotes, she sums it up.

接着她又说，你必须清楚地明白什么是接受、什么不是。此中精髓都藏在她总结的这三句话中。
