　　The key to your happiness and contentment lies deep within you, within your own heart and mind. The way you start each day is very important; you can start off on the right foot or the wrong one. You can wake up with a song of joy and gratitude in your heart for the new day, for being alive, for the very wonder of living, and for being in tune and harmony with the rhythm of all life. You can expect the very best from the coming day, and therefore draw it to you. Or you can start the day with a chip on your shoulder, disgruntled and out of rhythm. You are responsible for what today will bring, and knowing it gives you an even greater responsibility than those souls who are not aware of it and therefore know no better. You cannot blame your state of mind on anyone else. It all rests with you.

　　我的幸福與滿足感的關鍵在我的內在深處，在我自己的心與意念之中。我的每一天是如何開始的非常重要；我能在正確的腳步下出發，也能在錯誤的。我可以在愉悅及感恩的心靈歌聲中醒來，因這又是新的一天，因（我）是有生命力的，因每一個生命中的奇蹟，以及因與生命的旋律相一致、相諧和。

　　我可以期待在接下來的這天發生最好的，因此也會將它們吸引過來。或者我也可以帶著委屈與不平、不滿與雜亂，開始我的一天。我在為今天會帶來什麼負責，而知道這一點甚至給了我，比沒有意識到因此不得知曉這點的靈魂們，更大的責任。我不能將自己的精神狀態怪罪於任何其他人。一切都在我之中。
