WHEN you refuse to learn a lesson one way, it will be presented to you in another way. There is always the easy way, but when you refuse to accept it, the more difficult and complicated way will be presented to you. Why not learn your lessons the easy way? Why not be like a little child, eager and receptive to all that is taking place in your life, and unfold with it all in the most natural way? That is My plan for you, so why make life difficult for yourself when it is not necessary? It only holds up progress when you do. You will find, as you learn to put Me first before all else, that everything will fall into place perfectly. When you can raise your consciousness and keep it raised to a spiritual level in life, to what matters, then vast changes will take place and life will unfold for you without any effort. Life is very simple. Why make it complicated for yourself? 當我以一種形式拒絕學習一個課題，它就會以另外一種形式出現在我面前。簡單的方法一直都有，但當我拒絕接受它時，它就會以更加困難與複雜的形式出現。為什麼不用那簡單的方法去學習我的課題呢？為什麼不像一個孩童一樣，對我生活中所發生的一切都充滿熱情並樂於接受，以最自然的方式與它一同展開？這就是上天對於我的計劃，因此為什麼在沒有必要的情況下，將我的生活變得更加困難？當我這樣做時，只會耽擱一切的進展。
我會發現，當我學習將上天放於其他所有事物的首位時，每一件事都會完美地變得有條不紊。當我能夠提升我的意識層面，並在生活中，持續將它提升至一個靈性的層面，至最重要的事物中，巨大的改變就會發生，而生活會為我展開，無需任何用力。生活是非常簡單的。為什麼我要把它變得如此複雜呢？
