清晨最美好的愿望

A Morning Wish

佚名 / Anonymous

The sun is just rising in the morning of another day. What can I wish that this day may bring me? Nothing that shall make the world or others poorer, nothing at the expense of other men; but just those few things which in their coming do not stop me but touch me rather, as they pass and gather strength.

I wish that this day could bring me a few friends, who understand me, and yet remain my friends; I also wish that this day could bring me a work to do which has real value.

I wish that this day could bring me a mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed, and I wish that this day could bring me an understanding heart.

I wish that this day could bring me a sight of the eternal hills, and the blue sea stretching to the horizon, and of something beautiful which the hands of me have made.

I wish that this day could bring me a sense of humor, and the power to laugh, a little leisure with nothing to do.

And I crave for a few moments of quiet, silent meditation in the morning of this day.

朝阳在新的一天冉冉升起。我期望这—天带给我什么呢?希望不是任何让世界或他人更贫穷的东西,不是任何损害别人的东西,而是那些到来、经过或者聚集力量时,不会阻止我而能触动我心灵的东西。

我盼望这一天会带来一些知心的朋友,希望我们的友谊天长地久;我也希望这一天能够给我带来一份真正有价值的工作。

我盼望这一天会带给我无畏远行的胸怀,纵然旅途中没有光明在闪耀;我还盼望这一天会带给我善解人意之心。

我盼望这一天会让我看到永久屹立的山冈,看到一望无际的蓝色海洋,看到人类的双手创造出的美丽事物。

我盼望这—天会带给我幽默感、笑的力量和无事可做的短暂悠闲。

这天早上,我渴望短暂宁静的冥想。

幸福

Happiness

佚名 / Anonymous

Millions of people, everywhere, are expressing their happiness by doing what they love to do right now, at this very moment. They are writing, they are teaching, they are building, they are healing... They are doing it because it makes them feel happy!

Happiness. What is it? Is it more than just an emotion? I think so. At least, I feel that it is. Nathaniel Hawthorn wrote, “Happiness is as a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp. But if you sit down, quietly, it will alight upon you.”

When I go deep and ponder such things, I find myself in an abstract place. It is “the void”, where there are no words and there are no things. All that’s there is just pure love and it’s many counterparts — joy, peace, happiness, bliss, ecstasy... How do I begin to write about something that has such a profound affect on me? How can anyone write about such a feeling, when that feeling is part of the ocean and there is no end to the ocean?

I could list many things that make me feel happy, but I know that some of them would not be your idea of happiness. You might even consider them to be a form of punishment. I suspect that I’d be looking for an exit sign if you came by and suggested we go bunjee jumping together. No thanks; I’d rather have a root canal. So “happiness” feels good, it makes you smile, and it is based largely on your own personal experiences. Each day, you find different ways to feel happy. What make you happy right now? Do you know? Can you list five things, today, that make you feel really, truly happy? Great! Write them down!

Hopefully you’ve thought of about a dozen more things besides these five, but these five are great for starters. Read out loud. Louder please! Say it this time, with feeling. Good! Much better. Are you smiling yet? If not, why not? Lighten up, please. We are having some fun here! Do the same with the next 4. Read each one aloud, and say each one with feeling.

Isn’t it great to know the things that make you feel happy? Isn’t it great to be able to express this out loud?

Now, since your “happy thoughts” are already written down, place them in your journal, beside your computer, on top of your desk, at your bedside table —put your list into a picture frame if you want to, it doesn’t matter. But please, don’t hide this list away —keep it somewhere handy where you can see it. Because you are going to use it sometimes!

The next time you have a blue moment, or you feel UNHAPPY, pull out your five happy thoughts and read them all aloud. Remember—say them with feeling! Hopefully, after you read them out loud, you will feel a lot better.

But you’re not finished! Not yet!
