What are you doing with your life? Are you content to drift through life, doing what you want to, living the way you want to live, without a thought for anyone else? You are free to do it. Many, many souls live this way and then wonder why they are unhappy and discontented. It is only when you learn to forget the self and live for others that you will find real peace of heart and true contentment. I AM here to show you the way, but you have to take it. No one else can take it for you; no one else can live your life for you. Learn to give and not just take all the time. Why not give on one level and receive on another? Life is a two-level thing, a constant giving and receiving. You cannot live unto yourself and find real happiness and satisfaction in life. Live for the whole and give to the whole and be whole.
我在对我的生活做些什么呢？我满足于做我想做的，以我想活的方式生活，不为他人有任何考虑，这样漂着度过一生吗？
我有这样去做的自由。很多，很多灵魂是这样活着的，然后想知道为什么他们活得不开心、不满足。只有当我学习忘记自我，为他人而活时，我才会找到内心真实的平静与真正的满足。
上天在这里向我展示这途径，但我必须得接受它。没有任何其他人能够替我去接受；没有任何其他人能够替我活出我的人生。
学习去给予，而不是一直索取。为什么不在一个层面给予，然后在另一个层面获得呢？生活是一件双层的事情，恒定的不断给予与获得。
我无法只为自己而活，并在生活中找到真正的快乐与满足。为整体而活，为整体付出，并成为整体。
