      I will greet this day with love in my heart.

     And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.    ... 

    I will greet this day with love in my heart.

    Is it not so that birds, the wind, the sea and all nature speaks with the music of praise for their creator? Cannot I speak with the same music to his children? Henceforth will I remember this secret and it will change my life. ...

    I will greet this day with love in my heart.

   And most of all I will love myself. For when I do I will zealously inspect all things which enter my body, my mind, my soul, and my heart. Never will I overindulge the requests of my flesh, rather I will cherish my body with cleanliness and moderation. Never will I allow my mind to be attracted to evil and despair, rather I will uplift it with the knowledge and wisdom of the ages. Never will I allow my soul to become complacent and satisfied, rather I will feed it with meditation and prayer. Never will I allow my heart to become small and bitter,rather I will share it and it will grow and warm the earth.

我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。

我该怎样做呢？从今往后，我对一切都要满收爱心，这样才能获得新生。我爱太阳，它温暖我的身体；我爱雨水。它洗净我的灵魂；我爱光明，它为我指引道路；我也爱黑夜，它让我看到星辰、我迎接快乐，它使我心胸开阔；我忍受悲伤，它升华我的灵魂；我接受报酬。因为我为此付出汗水；我不怕困难，因为它们给我挑战。

 我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。

飞鸟，清风，海浪，自然界的万物不都在用美妙动听的歌声赞美造物主吗？我也要用同样的歌声赞美她的儿女。从今往后，我要记住这个秘密。它将改变我的生活。

我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。

最主要的，我要爱自己。只有这样，我才会认真检查进入我的身体，思想，精神，头脑，灵魂，心怀的一切东西.我绝不放纵肉体的需求，我要用清洁与节制来珍惜我的身体。我绝不让头脑受到邪恶与绝望的引诱，我要用智慧和知识使之升华。我绝不让灵魂陷入自满的状态，我要用沉思和祈祷来滋润它。我绝不让心怀狭窄，我要与人分享，使它成长，温暖整个世界。 我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。
