When a small child learning to walk falls down, it is not discouraged, but picks itself up and tries again and again until it has mastered the art of walking. So with the spiritual life. Never at any time allow seeming defeats to discourage you from advancing along the spiritual path. If you fall, simply pick yourself up and try again. Be not content to lie there in self-pity and say you cannot carry on and that life is to too difficult. Your attitude must always be that of absolute inner certainty that once your feet have been set upon the spiritual path, you will reach the goal in the end, no matter what obstacles you may meet along the way. You will find time spent alone in the silence recharges you spiritually and helps you to face whatever is ahead without flinching or faltering. That is why time spent alone with Me each morning helps to fortify you for whatever the day may bring.

當一個小孩學習走路摔倒了時,他/她不會氣餒,而是會爬起來一遍又一遍地嘗試,直到他/她完全掌握了行走這門藝術。靈性生活也是這樣。永遠不要在任何時候讓表面上的失敗阻礙我在這條靈性道路上的精進。如果我摔倒了,僅僅只要爬起來,再嘗試一次。不要滿足於躺在那兒,陷入自憐自艾,說著我無法繼續,這生活太艱難了這樣的話。

我的態度必須得一直是有著絕對的內在確定性,那就是,一旦我踏上了這條靈性道路,我就會達到那最終的目標,無論在這途中我碰到了什麼樣的障礙。我會發現花在安靜中的時間會在精神上給我充電,並幫助我毫無畏懼和猶豫地面對將要發生的任何事。這就是為什麼每個早晨與上天獨處的時間會有助於我變得有力量,為這一天可能會發生的任何事情做好準備。
