What is your first thought on waking? Is it one of pure joy for another wonderful day, or do you dread what today might bright? Is it an effort to get into tune and into rhythm with this day? Can you wake up with a song of praise and thanksgiving in your heart? What a difference it will make for you when you can do it, when you can start the day by putting on rose-tinted spectacles and seeing everything through them throughout the day. Start out on the right foot. Be not concerned about tomorrow; the only thing that matters is today, what you do today and what you make of it. Simply know that you can and will make a real success of today and that everything you do will be done perfectly. Know that everything you say will be said with love, that everything you think will be of the highest, and that nothing but the very best will be yours today.
我早上醒來的第一個想法是什麼？它是因另一個美妙的一天，而有的一個純粹的喜悅嗎，還是我害怕今天會給我帶來什麼？我需要用力去適應這一天的節奏與步調嗎？在我醒來時，我心中能夠帶著讚揚與感恩嗎？當我能夠這樣做時，當我可以帶著玫瑰色的眼鏡開始這一天，通過它去看一切事物來度過這一天，這會給我帶來多大的不同啊！從正確的地方開始。不要擔心明天；今天才是唯一重要的，我在今天做些什麼，我在這一天創造什麼。僅僅只需知道，我可以並將會在今天創造真正的成功，並且我所做的一切都會完美地完成。要知道，我所說出口的每一句話，都會帶著愛；我所思索的每一件事都是從最高的角度出發；並且除了最好的不會有任何其他事在我的今天發生。
