Sometimes we get so busy and caught up in daily life that we forget to be grateful.
有時,我們過于繁忙,忙于蕪雜的生活瑣事,連感激都忘記了。
We expect everyone to do their share without being asked. The only time anyone hears anything is when a chore has not been completed.
我們期望每個人都能夠自覺地盡職盡責,在這個時間每個人所能聽到的就是做完活。

This attitude, over the long haul, will develop very resentful and uncooperative family members.
這種態度,日積月累,在家人之間就會發展為抱怨和不和。
When life is good, gratitude is easy. It becomes more challenging to be grateful when we are experiencing hard times.
生活安穩的時候,表達感激就會很簡單。但是,當我們面對艱辛的生活時,表達感激就很難了。
Financial hardship, long-term illness, the death of a loved one and marital strife can all be trying and difficult.
經濟困難,長期疾病,親人過世和婚姻糾紛這些都可能讓人心煩,給生活帶來困難。
It is hard to find anything to be grateful for. But while pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. We have a choice in how we view our circumstances.
這時候,甚至連找一個感激的理由都很難。雖然痛苦無法避免,但我們有權選擇是否接受痛苦,有權選擇我們該如何看待我們周圍的環境。
We can turn our hearts to God and trust that he has a plan for us. We can be thankful for the lessons we learn and the opportunities for personal growth and transformation.
我們可以相信上帝,相信上帝會給我們做好安排的。我們感激經驗教訓,感激給個人成長和變化的機遇。
Look at all the people in this world who share the gifts they received during especially difficult times of their life. It is the painful times of my life that have made me stronger, wiser, and more loving today.
看看大千世界中的蕓蕓眾生,他們在生活的艱難中獲得了禮物。正是生活中的那些痛苦時期讓我更加堅強,更加聰明,更加熱愛今天!
I recently attended a powerful seminar on the various levels of energy that a human being emanates.
最近,我參加了一個很有影響的研討班,討論的主題是人類產生的多級能量。
The presenter identified seven different levels of energy. The first level of energy is defined by feelings of apathy and thoughts of victimization.
與會者把能量分成7級。第一級能量是根據冷漠的感情和犧牲他人的思想而定義的;
A person at a level two energy has feelings of anger and thoughts of conflict.
第二級能量的人懷有憤怒的感情和對抗的思想;
As a person moves up the energy scale, their feelings and thoughts are more positive.
人的能量級別越高,他的感情和思想也就更加積極。
At level seven, one would experience unconditional love and no judgmental thoughts.
在第七級別,人就會獲得自由的愛和辨證的思想。
Only God radiates at level seven. The average person emits energy at a level of 2.5. To experience peace and joy, an in- dividual must raise his energy level to 5 or 6.
只有上帝才能達到第七級。人類平均擁有的能量級別為2.5。要想擁有和平和歡樂,個人的能量級別必須達到5或6。
So how can we raise our energy level and open our heart to joy? One powerful way is to develop an attitude of gratitude.
那么我們該如何提高我們的能量級別呢?如何敞開胸懷擁抱歡樂呢?一個有效的方法就是養成感激的態度。
Look at every- one with grateful eyes. Listen to your heart and the heart of your loved ones. Speak words of affirmation every day of your life. Be grateful for your life with all its lessons and blessings.
看下那些感激的眼神,聆聽你的內心和你所愛的人的內心,每天說些肯定的話,感激你的生命所擁有的教訓和祝福。
The more grateful thoughts and feelings you experience and express the more instrumental you will be in healing the world. And your outlook on life will improve in the process.
你擁有的感激的思想和感情越多,你對社會的作用就越大,你對生命的見解也會更深。
