God said:
天父說:


When are you in your element? There is something constructive that you like to do. You may not see that this activity has a particular meaning in your life. You don"t see it as having any future for you. Never mind. You don"t have to think at all from a profit motive. It is enough that an activity is something you like. You don"t know what will grow from a seeming nothing. This is following your heart. This is exploring life!
什麼時候你做起事來得心應手,游刃有餘?做那些你喜歡的富於建設性的事吧。也許你還看不到這樣做對生活的特殊意義。你不認為它在構建你的未來。不必介意。你不用從利益動機的角度去思考。確定這是你喜歡做的,僅此足以。你不明白這看似微不足道的事能結出什麼果。這是在跟隨你的心,是對生活的探索!


I have said it before, and I will say it again. You are not living for results. Or, for example, start considering that making mayonnaise, for example, is something you like to do. You just like making mayonnaise. You feel good about it. You like the ingredients you put in. You like buying them. You like making the mayonnaise, and you like the taste. You just feel good about making it. You don"t have to explain. It is enough that you like to make mayonnaise.
我以前說過,現在再說一遍。你不是為結果而生。例如,你開始考慮讓製作美乃滋成為你喜歡做的事。你只是喜歡製作美乃滋,這感覺很好。你喜歡添加進去的各種食材。你也喜歡購買它們。你喜歡製作,也喜歡品嚐它的味道。你只是對DIY的感覺很好。不需要解釋為什麼。就只是喜歡,這就夠了。


You don"t have to go into the mayonnaise business. It is profit enough that you enjoy making mayonnaise, and you and your family and perhaps a few friends enjoy your mayonnaise. You never know what will come from something, nor does something have to come from anything.
你不必從事美乃滋生意。享受製作的過程就已經賺到了,你和你的家人,或許再邀上幾個朋友一起分享製作的過程。製作中你並不知道如何做會有什麼結果,或者,要達成什麼結果一定要怎樣做才行,前方都是未知。


Sure, you could wind up a mayonnaise mogul when enough people taste your mayonnaise and want you to make them some. You sure don"t have to.
當然,當有足夠多的人品嚐了你的美乃滋後請你給他們也做一些時,你可能會華麗轉身而一躍成為美乃滋大亨。你當然不必這麼做。


No one knows what will come from anything. Release yourself from the idea that you have to make something more from whatever you are doing.

沒人知道如何做會帶來怎樣既定的結果。要擺脫這樣的想法,即你必須從你正在做的事情中得到更多的收益。


What is the profit for you in taking a walk in the park? It gives you a modicum of joy. It may take some aching away from you.
在公園中漫步為你帶來什麼收益?它帶給你的是些許的快樂。或許又帶走了一些痛苦。


What is the good of life? It is here today and gone tomorrow. Yet life is good, and you are alive. Life has value. Really, life is more than mere passing of time.
生活中的好是什麼?今天在這裡,明天即逝。然而生活是美好的,你活著。生命有其價值。真的,生命不僅僅是時間的流逝。


Young children paint and invariably enjoy the whole splatter of paint on paper. Such a simple thing. The point is not that they grow up to be artists. The point is that splashing paint gives them joy.
孩子們畫畫時總是很享受顏料在紙上四處飛濺。如此簡單的事情。重點並不是他們長大後要成為藝術家。重點是,飛濺的顏料給他們帶來了快樂。


You are entitled to joy. You don"t need to win prizes in order to enjoy. You don"t need accolades.
你有權享受快樂。你不需要贏得獎項才能享有快樂。你不需要讚譽。


Ah, the joy of two children eating cookies together.
噢,兩個孩子在一起吃餅乾時也洋溢著喜悅。


Look, let your spinning of joy be right out there. I want to say practice joy, yet as soon as you practice, you become self-conscious about it, and some of the joy fades. Then you are trying. You can"t give joy orders. Joy comes to you. It finds you. Give joy the opportunity to come to you.
來吧,讓你的歡樂轉個不停。我想說的是練習快樂,然而一旦你開始練習,你就會保持自我意識,喜悅會褪色。然後你不斷再次嘗試。你不能給快樂下命令。快樂會來找你。它會找到你。給快樂機會讓它走近你。


Discover joy, and you will engender joy. You will be joyful. You don"t develop joy. You allow joy. You give yourself permission to be joyful. Joy is definitely contagious, and you spread joy. Joy may also be courageous.
探索快樂,你就營造了快樂。你是喜悅的。你不發展喜悅。你允許喜悅。你准許自己是喜悅的。無疑快樂是會傳染的,那麼你傳播快樂。快樂也充滿了勇氣。


The little joys accumulate.
讓星星點點的快樂漸漸累積。


Certainly, life goes fast, yet there is no need to speed up joy. Find joy where you find it, and you will come across more joy.
當然,生活節奏很快,但沒有必要給快樂加速。在你找到它的地方找到快樂,你會邂逅更多的快樂。


Be ready for joy. Say Yes to joy. Even revisit old joys like hop scotch.
時刻為歡樂做好準備。對喜悅說是。即使重回往日的快樂也好,像兒時的遊戲跳房子。


There is nothing you have to like, yet you can put a spin on life, and enjoy life. Life is beholden to you for enjoying its gifts.
沒有什麼是你必須喜歡的,但你可以給生活調調色,然後享受生活。生活會因你讚賞它的禮物而心存感激。


You are a gift, so enjoy yourself. No matter what, enjoy being alive. If you are confined to bed, enjoy the sunlight in your window. Enjoy what you enjoy. The time will come when you enjoy everything, or, let Us say it this way:Have constant joy. What is joy but appreciating that which is before you? Look!
你是一個禮物,盡情享受吧。無論怎樣,享受活著。如果你不得不臥床,就享受窗前的縷縷陽光。盡享你所能。終有一天,你會享受一切,或者,讓我們這樣說:享有永恆的快樂。什麼是喜悅?喜悅不過是欣賞當下你面前的呈現。你看!
