NEVER be wholly satisfied with your outlook on life. There is always something new and exciting to learn about, and you can only hope to do it if you keep open and sensitive to all that is taking place. The very new is not always easy to understand. Do not allow it to concern you, but be willing to accept it in faith, and know that your understanding will grow as you do so. You will know by that deep inner knowing whether these new ideas, new ways and new thoughts are of the truth or not. If you get that deep feeling of rightness, allow yourself to absorb these truths even if you do not understand them fully. Gradually the light will dawn, and you will awaken to the meaning of it all. You cannot go on for the rest of your life in the same old way. You must be willing to branch out into something new.

永远不要完全地牺牲掉我对生活的展望。总是会有新的让人激动的东西去学习，而只有当我保持对一切所发生的敞开与敏感时，才能希望做到这一点。最新的通常不是很容易被理解。不要让这困扰我，而是愿意在信念中接纳它，同时知道我的理解会增加随着我这样去做。我会知晓，通过那内在深处的认知，这些新的想法、方式与思维是否来自于真理。

如果我有了正确的感觉，允许我自己去吸收那些真理，即使我还并不能够完全理解他们。逐渐的，曙光会显现，而我对这一切的含义（的理解）会苏醒。我不能继续旧有的模式，去度过我的余生。我一定得愿意扩展到新事物中去。
