Never waste time feeling you have a very long way to go in this spiritual life. Instead, be encouraged and strengthened by realising how far you have come, and give eternal thanks for it. Realise how much you have to be grateful for. Surround yourself with beautiful thoughts, with beautiful things, with beautiful people. See the light of truth shining in everything and everyone. Let your light shine brightly from deep within you. Know that nothing without can extinguish it and that only your negativity can do it. Therefore keep positive all the time. Always choose the path of light and ignore the darkness, thereby giving it no strength. More and more light is needed as the hunger for spiritual food grows greater in the world, so keep your light burning brightly. Be light and let it shine forth from you, pushing back the darkness. Be love and let love flow from you freely, and helpmeet the tremendous need in the world. 永遠不要浪費時間在，感到我在這靈性道路上還有很長的路要走。而是，感到被鼓舞和激勵，通過意識到我已經走出了多遠，並對此抱有永恆的感恩。要意識到有多少事物我需要去感恩。
讓我的周圍盡是美好的想法、美好的事物、和美好的人們。在每一個人、每一件事中，看見真理之光。讓我的光，從我的內在深處，耀眼地照射出來。要知道沒有任何事能夠消滅它，只有我的消極態度能夠做到這一點。因此在任何時候都保持積極。總是選擇光明大道，忽略那黑暗，從而不給它任何力量。
越來越多的光亮被需要，因為對精神食糧的飢渴在這世上日漸增長，因此讓我的光，明亮地燃燒。成為光，並讓它從我這兒照耀出去，擊退黑暗。成為愛，並讓愛從我這兒自由地流出，然後幫助滿足這世界上的龐大需求。
