The beauty of life is everywhere around you. Open your eyes and see it, absorb it, appreciate it, reflect it and become a part of it. When you expect to see beauty, you will see it; whereas when you expect t see ugliness, you will do so. The choice is always yours. Drink deeply from the fountains of beauty and you cannot help reflecting it, for what is within is reflected without. You are like a mirror; you cannot hide that which is within you, no matter how hard you may try to do so, for that which is within cannot be contained. Sooner or later it will express itself in the outer world; therefore let it flow freely, and never try to stop that flow. Raise your consciousness and you will be able to see beaut in everything and everyone. You will see Me reflected there, for I AM beaut, harmony and perfection. Learn to express that beauty and harmony in everything you think, say and do.
生活的美,無處不在。睜開我的雙眼,看到它,吸收它,感謝它,體現它,並成為它的一部分。當我期待看見美,我就會看見它;然而,當我期待看見醜陋,我就會這樣做。選擇總是在於我。深深地啜飲那美之泉,然後我會忍不住反映出它,因為內在的事物會被反映到外在。我就像一面鏡子;我無法隱藏我內在的事物,無論我多麼努力地去這樣做,因內在的事物無法被遏制。
遲早它會在外在世界表達它自己;因此讓它自由地流動,永遠不要試圖去阻止那流動。提升我的意識層面,然後我將能夠在每一件事,每一個人之中看見美。我會看見上天被反映在那兒,因上天就是美、和諧與完美。學習去在每一件我所思、所言、所行的事物中,去表達那美麗與和諧。
