Be not bowed down by self-concern,so that you miss all the wonders in life.Dwell on all the beauty and wonders in life.Go about with your eyes wide open and appreciate the beauty around you. Take one day at a time and appreciate that day to the full.Let every moment be filled with love and thanksiving.When anything comes up which is inharmonious, look around quickly and see how it can be exchanged for something which is harmonious. Do it quickly because negative and detrimental thoughts can grow as fast as weeds in a garden and choke all beautiful and delicatce plants if they are allowed to take control.Learn to control your thoughts so they are only ones of beauty, harmony and love.Once your positive thoughts have been well established, you will automatically look for the very best in every situation. Only then can you relax, let go and enter the joy and freedom of the Spirit.

　　不要被自我顧慮壓彎了腰，以致我錯過了生活中所有的奇蹟。停留於生活中所有的美與奇蹟之中。帶著睜開的雙眼與對我周圍的美的感恩四處走動。一次一天的，全然感恩那一天。讓每一刻都充滿愛與感恩。當不和諧的事物出現時，快速地看看周圍，看看它是否能與和諧的某件事物交換。

　　快速地這樣做，因為負面與不利的想法，如同花園中的雜草長得一樣快，如果它們被允許得到掌控，就會讓所有美麗易損的植物窒息。學習去控制我的想法，讓他們只會是美、和諧、與愛的其中之一。一旦我的正向想法被完善地建立，我會自動尋找每個情景中最好的部分。直到那時，我才能放鬆下來，放手並享受靈性的愉悅與自由。
