Step one:
Plant yourself deep in a bed of faith, and pack it down solid and tight. Drench daily with positive thinking, and keep saturated just right. Mulch often with forgiveness, for this will help you grow. Quickly remove any seeds of worry, for they will soon germinate, and keep out the weeds of despair. Nourish disappointments with hope whenever it is needed, and always stay cool and shaded when you feel irritated or heated. Trim away guilt or depression, for they create decay, and cultivate with happy memories as often as every day.
Step two:
Harvest the lessons of the past; just dig, pick, and hoe. And nurture the roots of the present, for now is when you flourish and grow. Start planting for the future; set your goals in a row. Spade the bed well for all your dreams to grow.
Step three:
Remember that grief is a natural predator, so learn to tolerate some damage. Protect your garden with daily prayers, for this will help you manage. Bury the criticism and complaining, for they are injurious pests. Sow the seed of love wherever you may go—for joy, love, and laughter are surely bound to grow. Although the thorns of life may be here to stay, just sprout a smile along the way…and be thankful for what you have today!
第一步：
堅定信念。積極迎接每一天，並始終如一。寬以待人，這將使你日漸成熟。要及時解除憂慮，否則它會快速滋生蔓延，要避免絕望縈繞心頭。必要時，以希望來滋養失望；鬱悶或興奮時，多一點兒冷靜。愧疚和沮喪會使你意誌衰退，驅除它們，並經常以昨日的幸福時光鼓勵自己。
第二步：
挖掘、收割、篩選，從過去汲取經驗。你會慢慢長大，而且日趨成熟，請珍惜今天吧！有計劃、有目的地去思考，收拾好行囊，奔赴明天。
第三步：
謹記，悲傷是天然的掠奪者，要學會忍受損失。用祈禱護衛你的心靈，以便掌控自我。批評與抱怨是毒瘤，要根除它們。無論身處何方，要心懷愛心，因為“歡樂”“愛”與“微笑”總會蔓延四方。盡管生命的旅途充滿荊棘，但還是要在途中帶上微笑……為你今天所擁有的一切心存感激。
