You cannot hope to grow spiritually unless you are prepared to change. Those changes may come in small ways to begin with, but as you move further and further into the new, they will become more drastic and vital. Sometimes it needs a complete upheaval to bring about a whole new way of life .But it is amazing how soon you can get used to change as long as you have the courage and conviction that the changes which are taking place are all for the very best .Let perfection always be your aim. Keep stretching. Keep reaching up to the seemingly impossible. Keep growing in wisdom and understanding, and never at any time be content to remain static. There is always something more to be learnt. There is always something new and wonderful to discover in this life, so expand your consciousness and your imagination to make room for it .Keep open and receptive so that you miss nothing.

　　我沒辦法期望在靈性上有所成長，除非我準備好去做改變。一開始這些改變可能以很微小的方式發生，但當我越來越深入新的狀態時，它們會變得更加猛烈與至關重要。有時候那會需要一個完整的劇變以帶來一個全新的生活方式。但我會以讓人驚異的速度去習慣改變，只要我對所發生的改變都是為了最好的，抱有信念與勇氣。

　　總是讓極致成為我的目標。持續延伸。持續向看似不可能的高度攀升。持續在智慧與理解上有所成長，並且絕不在任何時候對裹足不前感到滿足。總是會有更多值得學習的事物。總是會有嶄新的、美妙的事物在生命中等待被發現，所以將我意識層面與想像力擴展開來讓它們有進入的空間。持續敞開與接受，這樣就不會錯過什麼。
