第21章 人在旅途中 (11)

字體:16+-

Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.

Today I can feel sad that I don' t have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.

Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.

Today I can lament over all that my parents didn' t give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.

Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.

Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.

Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.

Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel honored because the Lord has provided shelter for my mind, body and soul.

Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.

What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will have!

清晨,我早早醒來,為自己在午夜的鍾聲敲響前將要做的一切激動不已。我有責任讓今天過得充實,我很重要。

選擇如何度過每一個日子,這是我的工作。

今天下雨了,所以我可以抱怨;但是,草地無須花費力氣去澆灌了,所以我還可以感激。

今天沒有足夠的錢了,所以我可以難過;但這也使我懂得理性消費,引導我遠離浪費,所以我也可以欣喜。

今天為自己的健康問題,我可以滿腹牢騷;但自己仍然活著,所以我可以歡呼雀躍。

今天因為小時候父母給予的太少,我可以悲歎不已;但是,他們賦予我生命,所以我也可以感激萬分。

今天因為玫瑰上有刺,我可以嗚咽哭泣;但帶刺的莖上有玫瑰花,所以我又可以歡欣慶賀。
