You can only think one thought at a time. Therefore see that that thought is constructive, positive and loving, and then you will find yourself saying constructive things and acting in a loving way. In fact, your whole outlook will be positive, and your life will be filled with love, joy, happiness, health, success and harmony. When you are at all sensitive and you have negative and destructive thoughts, they undermine your whole being. Your outlook becomes dimmed, and you feel depressed and even physically ill. Try to understand that you bring this state on yourself by your wrong thinking. Change it and you will change everything. You may imagine that you are surrounded by many difficulties and that your whole situation is to blame for your negative state of mind, but is it? Aren’t your thoughts your own? Aren’t you free to raise your consciousness and think loving, positive, constructive thoughts that create your well-being? The choice always lies in your hands.

　　我一次只能思考一個想法。因此以有建設性、正向、充滿愛的眼光去看待這個想法，然後我會發現自己說著有建設性的事情，以充滿愛的方式去行動。事實上，我的整個人生觀都會變得正向，我的整個人生都會充滿愛、愉悅、快樂、健康、成功與和諧。當我很敏感，以及當我有負面的、破壞性的想法時，它們會逐漸削弱我的整個生命狀態。我的前景變得暗淡無光，我感到抑鬱甚至是身體上的病痛。

　　試著去這樣理解，其實是我通過錯誤的想法將自己帶入到這樣的狀態中去的。改變它，我就會改變一切。我可能會想像，我正被許多的困難包圍，然後我的整個情況都應該怪我那負面的心理狀態，但，是這樣嗎？這些想法難道不是我自己的嗎？我難道沒有提升我的意識層面，去思考充滿愛的、正向的、有建設性的想法，讓它們創建我那良好的狀態，的自由嗎？選擇一直都在我自己的手上。
