Because yesterday was not all it should have been does not matter; yesterday is finished and gone, and you can do nothing about it. Today is a completely different matter; it lies before you untouched and unblemished, and it is up to you to make it the most wonderful day. How do you start off each day? Remember, it is no concern of anyone else. It is something you and you alone have to choose to bright about. Try to start the day off with inner peace and contentment by taking time to be still and allowing that peace to infill and enfold you. Do not rush into the day unprepared and out of harmony. If you do, it is easy to take that state of mind into the day, allowing it to affect the whole of the day and all those souls you contact. It is up to you to choose what today is going to be and then make it so. Why not choose now?
昨天不該是那般，完全不重要；因為昨天已經結束並且過去，而我無法對此做些什麼。今天是完全不同的一回事；它就在我的面前，沒有被觸碰過，完美無瑕，而是否將這一天變成最美好的一天，都取決於我。我是如何開始每一天的？記住，這不關任何其他人的事。它關於我，僅僅關於我，如何選擇去創造出什麼。試著去帶著內在的平靜與滿足開始這一天，通過花時間去安靜，允許那平靜圍繞我、填滿我。不要不做任何準備地、失衡地匆忙開始這一天。如果我這樣做，會很容易將那思想狀態帶入這一天，允許它來影響這一整天，以及那些與我有接觸的靈魂。這取決於我，去選擇今天會成為什麼樣子，並將它變成如此。為什麼不現在就做出選擇呢？
