Day 19
我相信生命会给我需要的一切
几年前，有朋友邀请我去纽约的宗教科学教会参见一场讲座。她不想一个人去，找我作伴。我答应了，不料我到了现场，她却没来。我犹豫着是否要继续一个人待在那里，最后我决定留下来。当时我听到有个人说：【如果你愿意改变想法，就能改变人生。】虽然这听起来没什么，却引起了我的注意，并且对我意义重大。我不明白原因为何，因为我不是个好学不倦的人。我记得有朋友一直游说我去基督女青年会上课，但我都兴趣缺缺。然而，那一天的讲座却触动了我，于是我决定回去待着，继续听下去。
现在，我可以看出那天朋友爽约确实是一桩好事。假如她来了，我的体验大概会不一样。
你看，一切都很完美。

I Trust Life to Bring Me Everything I Need
Years ago,I had a friend who invited me to a lecture at a church of Religious Science in New York. She asked me to join her because she didn’t want to go by herself. I agreed, but when I arrived, she wasn’t there. I was left to decide whether or not to attend by myself, and I decided to stay.
So there I was, sitting in this lecture, when I heard someone say, “if you are willing to change your thinking, you can change your life.” While it sounded like a small,tiny statement, it was huge to me. It caught my attention. I have no idea why, because I was a person who never studied anything. I remember having a friend who kept trying to get me to go to the YWCA for classes, and I wasn’t interested. But something about this subject spoke to me at that time, and I made a decision to go back.
I can now see the perfection in my friend not showing up. If she had, I probably would have had a different experience. You see, everything is perfect.
