Always seek the best, always expect the best and never at any time be content with second best. It may be difficult for you, especially at times when you think you are scraping the bottom of the barrel. Then you have to raise your consciousness, and never for one second think lack, but think abundance. See abundance and give thanks for My infinite and limitless supply. Why are you content to accept second best, when the very best is waiting for you to accept it, waiting to bless you? When you can think big, your whole life and living will expand within and around you. Remember, it all starts from within and it all starts with you. Start right now to readjust your thinking. Become reoriented from within, and let it gradually work from within like yeast in a lump of dough. Never fail to recognise My hand in everything, and give constant thanks. Take nothing for granted, but realise how blessed you are.
總是尋求最好的，總是期待最好的，不要在任何時候對次好的感到滿足。這可能對我而言很困難，尤其是在我出於無奈濫竽充數的時候。然後我需要提升我的意識層面，並不去花哪怕一秒鐘在匱乏的思考上面，而是想著充裕。看見充裕，並對上天無窮無盡的供給抱有感恩。
為什麼我對次好的感到滿足，當最好的正在等著我去接納它，等著祝福我時呢？當我能夠有寬廣的思維，我的整個生命和生活都會在我之中與周圍擴展。
記住，這一切都從內在開始，這一切都從我開始。從現在起重新調整我的思維。變得從內在適應，然後讓它逐漸地從內在運作，就像酵母在麵糰裡一樣。
永遠不要無法認出上天在每一件事中的助力，並對此抱有永恆的感恩。不要將任何事視為理所當然，而是意識到我有多麼幸運。
