今天我們選讀一篇《The Secret 秘密》中關(guān)于感恩的章節(jié)。這個章節(jié)中,講述的是當(dāng)人時刻在滿懷感恩的狀態(tài)下,心靈上產(chǎn)生的巨大變化。本書的作者還說道,如果在運(yùn)用《秘密》這本書中所講授的知識中,你只想做一件事,那么就是感恩,今天我們就來一起感受下這段文字吧!
《The Secret 秘密》是一本心靈勵志書。本書作者朗達(dá)·拜恩是澳大利亞電視工作者,有一年,父親突然去世、工作遭遇瓶頸、家庭關(guān)系也陷入僵局,就在人生跌至谷底、生活即將崩潰時處,意外發(fā)現(xiàn)了隱藏在百年古書中的秘密。這些秘密亙古以來存在于各種口述的歷史、文學(xué)、宗教與哲學(xué)之中,更藏在人與世界的各個互動層面,每個人自身都存在著自己所不知道的能量。作者還發(fā)現(xiàn),許多當(dāng)今的佼佼者早已了解并運(yùn)用此秘密。因此,作者不禁疑問:“為什么不是每個人都知道呢?”于是,作者決心組織一個團(tuán)隊(duì)揭露這個只有1%才知道的驚天大秘密。她發(fā)現(xiàn),洞悉這個秘密的人都是各行各業(yè)的佼佼者,他們現(xiàn)身說法告訴你:幸福、快樂、健康、金錢、人際關(guān)系,這個秘密都能給你!了解這個秘密,就沒有做不到的事;不論你是誰,你想要什么,這個秘密都能給你!

The day we filmed James Ray sharing his powerful exercise of gratitude is one I will never forget. From that day on, I made James' process my life. Every morning, I do not get out bed until I have felt the feelings of gratitude for this brand new day and all I am grateful for in my life. Then as I get out of bed, when one foot touches the ground I say, "Thank," and "you" as my second foot touches the ground. With each step I take on my way to the bathroom, I say "Thank you." I continue to say and feel "Thank you" as I am showering and getting ready. By the time I am ready for the day, I have said "Thank you" hundreds of times.
我永遠(yuǎn)忘不了我們拍攝詹姆士.雷分享他的“強(qiáng)效感恩練習(xí)”的那天。從那一天開始,我就把詹姆士的方法用在我的生活中。每天早上,除非 我感受到了感恩的感覺——對這嶄新的一天,以及對生命中我所感激的一切——否則我不會起床。然后當(dāng)我下床,一只腳碰到地面的時候,我會說“謝謝”;換另一只腳碰到地面時,則說“您”。走到盥洗室的每一步,我會說“謝謝您”;在我淋浴和整裝的時候,我持續(xù)地說著、并去感覺“謝謝您”。當(dāng)我準(zhǔn)備好迎接這一天時,我已經(jīng)說“謝謝您”上百次了。
As I do this, I am powerfully creating my day and all that it will contain. I am setting my frequency for the day and intentionally declaring the way I want my day to go, rather than stumbling out of bed and letting the day take control of me. There is no more powerful way to begin your day than this. You are the creator of your life, so begin by intentionally creating your day!
當(dāng)我這么做,我就是在強(qiáng)而有力地創(chuàng)造我的一天和當(dāng)中的事物。我是在設(shè)定這一天的頻率,并且有意地宣告這一天我所要的方式;而不是踉蹌地離開床,讓這一天掌控我。開始一天的生活,沒有比這更有力量的方法了。你是自己生命的創(chuàng)造者,所以,開始有意識地創(chuàng)造你的生活吧!
Gratitude was a fundamental part of the teachings of all the great avatars throughout history. In the book that changed my life, The Science of Getting Rich, written by Wallace Wattles in 1910, gratitude is its longest chapter. Every teacher featured in The Secret uses gratitude as part of his or her day. Most of them begin their day with thoughts and feelings of gratitude.
歷史上所有偉大人物的基本教誨之一,就是“感恩”。華勒思.華特斯在1910年寫下那本改變我一生的書《致富的科學(xué)》(The Science of Getting Rich),該書最長的篇章,就是<感恩>那一章。所有在《秘密》里擔(dān)任主角的導(dǎo)師,全都把“感恩”當(dāng)作他們生活的一部分;他們大多數(shù)是以“感恩”的思想和感覺,作為一天開始。<感恩>
Joe Sugarman, a wonderful man and successful entrepreneur, watched the film The Secret and contacted me. He told me his favorite part was the gratitude process, and that his use of gratitude had contributed to all he had achieved in his life. With all the success Joe has attracted to himself, he continues to use gratitude every day, even for the smallest things. When he gets a parking space he always says and feels, "Thank you." Joe knows the power of gratitude and all it has brought to him, and so gratitude is his way of life.
一位很杰出、成功的企業(yè)家喬. 史格曼,在看過《秘密》影片之后與我聯(lián)系。他告訴我,“感恩的方法”是影片中他最喜歡的部分;而且他一生的功成名就,全都?xì)w功于運(yùn)用感恩的方法,即使最小的事物也不例外。當(dāng)他有車位可停,他總是會說出、并且去感覺“謝謝您”。他知道感恩的力量與其所帶來的一切,于是感恩就成了他的生活方式。
With all that I have read and with all that I have experienced in my own life using The Secret, the power of gratitude stands above everything else. If you only do one thing with the knowledge of The Secret, use gratitude until it becomes your way of life.
所有我讀過的,以及所有我在生命中運(yùn)用這個秘密的經(jīng)驗(yàn),感恩的力量都勝過其他一切。如果在這秘密的知識當(dāng)中,你只想做一件事,那么就去“感恩”吧,直到它成為你的生活方式為止。
