IX. I will be here now.
我會生活在當下。
Life is happening right now. Instead of dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, practice being and living in the present moment.
生活就發生在先下。與其追憶往昔或是擔憂未來,不如著眼于現在,生活在現在。
Remember, right now is the only moment guaranteed to you. Right now is life. Don’t miss it. (Read Zen and the Art of Happiness.)
記住,現在才是唯一可以寫給你保證書的時刻。現在就是生活。別迷失了它(閱讀《幸福的禪宗與藝術》)
X. Life never gets any better, only my perception of it does.
生活永遠不會有所改善,只是我之于它的觀念改變生活質量。
The world around you changes when you change.
當你改變時,你周圍的世界也隨之改變。
If you awake every morning with the thought that something wonderful will happen in your life today, and you pay close attention, you’ll often find that you’re right. The opposite is also true. The choice is yours to make.
如果你每天清晨醒來,首先想到的是今天將會有好事發生并隨時關注著,你將發現你是對的。反之亦然。這是你自己的選擇。
