　　When life asks you to changes, see clearly what is needed and changes without any resistance, knowing that every change is for the very best. Changes is not always comfortable, especially for those people who have set ideas and ways. You must be willing to fling out one nice, comfortable,well-established idea after another until you are completely free and open to receive something entirely new and revolutionary. Here is where the difficulty often comes. Many people,having absorbed something new, want to cling on to it and refuse to let it go, Why not see it only as a stepping stone to greater and more wonderful revelations which are there waiting to be made when you have made room for them? You cannot fill up a full bucket; you have to empty it first. You cannot move right into the new when you are still clogged up with the old and refuse to let go. So change and change quickly, for I have need of you.

　　當生活要求我去改變，清楚地看見被需要的是什麼，然後不帶任何抵抗地隨之改變，要知道每一個變化都是最好的。改變不總是舒服的，尤其是對那些已經設定好想法與方式的人們。我一定得願意去放棄一個又一個好的、舒服、牢固的想法，直到我徹底的自由，並對接受全新的、革命性的事物敞開。

　　這是困難常常到來的階段。很多人，吸收了新的東西，想要抓住它，拒絕放手，為什麼不把它看作是一個踏腳石，讓你為他們騰出空間，等待更偉大、更美妙的啟示 ?我無法裝滿一桶；我必須得先清空它。我無法直接進入新的，當我堵住舊的，不肯放手。所以改變吧，快快改變，因上天需要我。
