We gradually came to see how so many of the problems and difficulties we were encountering in our lives had their beginnings in the seeds of doubt, fear and anxiety that we were continually planting in our minds.

我們漸漸發(fā)現(xiàn)，我們在生活中遇到的諸多問題與困難，其源頭正是我們不斷在心中種下的疑惑、恐懼與焦慮的種子。

It does take effort, but like anything else it gets easier with practice, and the amazing thing is, as we became more and more aware of these negative thoughts we are able to say:

這確是件費勁的事，但跟其他所有事一樣，它也是熟能生巧，令人驚異的是當我們越來越意識到這些負面的思想時，我們就能說：

“No! I will NOT plant this weed in the Garden of my Mind.”

“不！我不會把這顆雜草種在我的心園。”

I will consciously choose to plant something better. The results are truly spectacular.

我會有意識地去選擇，種一些更好的東西，收獲頗豐。

When you start to consciously cultivate your own mind garden, you will truly be amazed at the changes which begin to happen in your life. Obstacles disappear, barriers fall away, and things that you once thought were either impossible or very far away will suddenly come into view.

當你開始有意識地去耕作自己的心園，生命中因此發(fā)生的改變會令你大為驚異。障礙消失了，隔閡不見了，你一度認為不可能或離你很遙遠的事情突然展現(xiàn)在你眼前。
