This is a life of action, a life of change. Let there be no complacency, for when you are complacent, you can so easily get into a rut which creates stagnation. You have to do your own spiritual work. You have to do your own searching in your own way. See where you need to change and then take the action necessary to bring about that change. If change is uncomfortable, the more quickly it takes place, the easier it is. It is far less painful to pull a bandage off quickly than to do it slowly. Therefore do what you know has to be done without wasting any time thinking about it. Take that leap into the new without hesitation, and simply know it will be far more wonderful than what you have left behind in the old. With change comes life, a full and glorious life. It is being held out to you. Take it and give eternal thanks for it.
這是一個行動的生活，一個改變的生活。不要有自滿，因為當我自滿時，我很容易就變得刻板乏味，製造出停滯的狀態。我需要去做我自己的靈性工作。我需要去以我自己的方式進行我自己的探求。看見我需要改變的地方，然後採取必要的行動去實現那改變。如果改變是不舒服的，它發生得越快，就越容易。快速地撕掉繃帶比緩慢地撕掉它要不痛得多。因此做我知道需要被完成的，不要浪費任何時間在考慮它上面。不帶任何猶豫地一舉躍入新事物，只需知道它會遠比被我留在身後的舊事物要來得美好。隨著改變而來的是生活，一個充實、榮耀的生活。它就在那兒，被提供給我。接受它，並為此感到永恆的感恩。
