I am a warrior, so my way is action.
The journey is what brings us happiness, not the destination.
Life has just three rules. Paradox, humor, and change.
Paradox... Life is a mystery. Don't waste time trying to figure it out.
Humor... Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure.
Change... Know that nothing stays the same.
「人生沒有平凡無奇的時刻。」(p. 183)
There are no ordinary moments.
「你一直設法在平常的領域中變得優秀，現在則要在優秀的領域中變得平常。」(p. 187)
「頓悟出現在專注於當下的時候，此時身體靈活、敏感且放鬆，情感則是開放而自由的。」 (p. 193)
「快樂的祕密並不在於尋求更多想要的，而是在於培養少慾的能力。」(p. 213)
The secret of happiness is not found in seeking more but developing the capacity to enjoy less.
「行動是身體的表達方式，只能存在於當下、這裡。但是心智卻如幽靈，只活在過去或未來，它唯一的力量就是，轉移你對當下這一刻的注意力。」(p. 215)
Body exists in the here and now. Mind lives only in the past or future – its power over you is to draw attention out of the present.
「只管專注於當下就好，這可使你安全，得到解脫、免於痛苦、免於恐懼、免於心智束縛。」(p. 220)
Stay in the present moment. There you are safe. Keep your attention in the present moment. This is freedom from suffering, from fear, from mind.
「和平勇士之道並不是說，人在面對世界、生命、和你所感受到的存在時，覺得沒有任何事物可以傷到你，而是徹底的感到脆弱、容易受傷。我一直想讓你明白，勇士的生命與想像中的完美或勝利無關，而是與愛有關。愛是勇士的劍，劍揮向哪裡，就把生命，而非死亡帶到哪裡。」(p. 232)
The peaceful warrior's way is not about invulnerability, but absolute vulnerability -- to the world, to life, and to the Presence you felt. All along I've shown you that a warrior's life is not about imagined perfection or victory; it is about love. Love is a warrior's sword; wherever it cuts, it gives life, not death.
「勇士所能仰賴的是愛、仁慈、與服務的力量，以及快樂的力量。你無法得到快樂，而是快樂得到你。可是，只有在你放棄其他一切後，快樂才會到來。」(p 236)
A warrior can rely on the power of love, of kindness, of service – and the power of happiness. Happiness attains you – but only after you surrender everything.
「醒來吧! 如果你知道自己得了絕症，如果你沒剩多少日子可以活，哪你就不會浪費一絲一豪寶貴的時間! 你的確得了絕症，它叫做出生。你沒幾年可以活了，大家都一樣。所以，現在就快樂起來，不需要任何理由，否則你一輩子都不會快樂!」(p. 242)
Wake up! If you knew for certain you had a terminal illness -- if you had little time left to live -- you would waste precious little of it! Well, I'm telling you...you do have a terminal illness: It's called birth. You don't have more than a few years left. No one does! So be happy now, without reason--or you will never be at all.
「在這個世界上，要表現快樂、感到快樂，不需要任何理由。接著你就能去愛，去做你想做的事。」(p. 251)
This moment is the only thing that matters.
Where are you? Here.
What time is it? Now.
What are you? This moment.
Willpower is the key to success. Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy, doubt or fear.
Simplicity has power. Founding our life on constructive, positive behavior is the simplest, most direct, and powerful approach I’ve ever found—simple, but not easy.
