How often have you heard the remark, ‘How time fliest!’ When you are full of joy and happiness, giving of your very best, living for others, with the good of the whole in your heart, time does indeed fly and you enjoy every second of it. Even though you are living in time, it is not necessary to allow it to become a burden to you and drag you down. There is time for everything, for all those things you want to do, because you will make time to do them. Everyone has an equal amount of time, but it is how you use it that matters, so never complain that some souls have more time than others. Never be a slave to time, but make it your servant. You have to make up your mind what you want to do and then go ahead and do it; and you will find that you have the time to do it perfectly.
「時光飛逝!」,我有多經常聽到這樣的感嘆呢?當我充滿愉悅與快樂,給出我最好的,忘我地生活,將整體的利益放在我的心上,時光確實會飛逝,並且我會享受其中的每一秒鐘。雖然我在時間裡生活,但並不需要讓它成為我的負擔,將我拖垮。每一件事情都有其對的時機,對於所有我想去做的事情都是這樣,因為我會為去完成它們空出時間。
每一個人都有同等分量的時間,但真正重要的是我如何看待它,所以絕不要抱怨說,有些靈魂的時間比其他人的更多。永遠不要成為時間的奴隸,而是讓它來為我服務。我需要為我想做些什麼做出決定,然後取得進展去完成它;我就會發現我有時間去完美地完成它。
