原則 (Principle)

為了獲得自信，首先你必須放下對自信的固執追求。不安全感源於對事物過高的重要性 (Importance) 評價。我不需要依賴自信作為拐杖，因為若事物對我毫無重要性 (Importance)，那我便無需保護、無所索取，亦不會有恐懼或憂慮。若一切都不被賦予過高的重要性 (Importance)，我的世界會變得純淨透明。我拒絕爭鬥，選擇順應多元流動 (Alternatives flow) 的律動；我的心境空靈，無所牽絆，無需苦苦掙扎，而是靜靜地走著屬於自己的路，順勢獲得應得之物。這並非一種搖搖欲墜的不自信，而是一種冷靜、清醒的心意統一 (Unity of heart and mind) 狀態。（Note: 本段強調自信來自內在平和與對事物重要性 (Importance) 評價的釋放）
In order to acquire confidence, you must, first of all, let go of your attachment to the need to be confident. Insecurity lies in overestimating the importance of things. I don’t need confidence as a crutch because if I have no importance, I have nothing to protect and nothing to gain. I have nothing to fear and nothing to worry about. If nothing is of excessive importance to me, my world is pure and transparent. I refuse to fight and choose to go with the variants flow. I am empty so I cannot be hooked. I have no need to struggle. I quietly go my own path taking what is mine along the way. This is not a position of shaky confidence so much as a matter of calm, conscious coordination.
詮釋
Interpretation
不安全感會形成惡性循環：你所設定目標越重要，你達成目標的慾望就越強烈，而隨之而來的不安全感也越大；你越是憂慮與焦慮，你的恐懼就越快得到證實。為自我價值而戰會消耗你的能量，內疚感則可能讓生活變得悲慘。你該如何跳出這個錯綜複雜的迷宮？事實上，無法真正逃脫，其秘訣在於當你停止尋找出路、放下對事物過高的重要性 (Importance) 之執著時，迷宮的牆壁便會自動崩解。停止爭鬥以證明自己的價值，你的真實價值自然會回歸；停止不斷向他人辯解，你的內疚感也會消退。同樣地，若你減少對外物賦予的高重要性 (Importance)，你便不再受其表面強大意義的支配。最終，當心與意真正達到和諧統一 (Unity of heart and mind) 時，完美的協調就會隨之實現；要達成此狀，傾聽內心的聲音，堅守自己真正的信念。（Note: 本段闡述放下過分執著的重要性以及如何達到內在和諧）
Insecurity creates a vicious circle. The more important your goal, the greater your desire to achieve it, the greater the feeling of insecurity. The more worry and anxiety you feel about something, the quicker your fears will prove justified. The battle for self-worth drains your energy. Feelings of guilt can turn a life into the wretched existence of a loser. How do you break out of this tangled maze? You can’t. There is no way out. The secret of the maze is that when you stop looking for the way out and let go of the importance of things, the walls of the maze collapse all by themselves. Stop fighting to prove your sense of worth and it will surely be returned to you. Stop justifying yourself to others and you will stop feeling guilty. In the same way, if you reduce the importance you attach to external objects, you will no longer be dominated by their apparent, great significance. Finally, perfect coordination is achieved when the heart and mind are in harmony. To achieve this, listen to the dictates of your heart and stay true to your own beliefs.

為了獲得自信，首先必須放下對自信需求的依附。不安全感源於高估事物的重要性 (Importance)。我不需要自信作為拐杖，因為如果我沒有重要性，我就沒有什麼需要保護或獲得。我沒有什麼可怕的，也沒有什麼可擔心的。如果對我來說沒有什麼是過度重要的，我的世界就是純淨透明的。我拒絕抗爭，選擇隨著變體流動前進。我是空的，所以無法被勾住。我不需要奮鬥。我安靜地走自己的路，沿途拿走屬於我的東西。這不是一種不穩定的自信，而是一種冷靜、意識清晰的協調。

不安全感創造了一個惡性循環。你的目標越重要，你實現它的願望就越強烈，感到的不安全感就越大。你對某事的擔憂和焦慮越多，你的恐懼就越快被證明是正當的。為自我價值而戰會耗盡你的能量。內疚感可以將生活變成失敗者的悲慘存在。你如何擺脫這個錯綜複雜的迷宮？你不能。沒有出路。迷宮的秘密是，當你停止尋找出路並放下事物的重要性時，迷宮的牆壁會自行崩塌。停止為證明你的價值而奮鬥，它一定會回到你身上。停止向他人辯解，你就會停止感到內疚。同樣地，如果你減少對外在物體的重要性，你將不再被它們表面的重大意義所主宰。最後，當心靈合一 (Unity of heart and mind) 時，完美的協調就實現了。為了達到這一點，聽從你內心的指引，忠於自己的信念。

為獲得自信，首先放開對自信需求的依附。不安全感在於高估事物重要性。我不需自信作為支撐，因若無重要性，我無需保護或獲得。我無所懼，無所憂。若無物對我過分重要，我的世界純淨透明。我拒絕爭鬥，選擇隨另闢蹊徑之流。我空無，故不可被鉤。我無需掙扎。我靜靜走自己的路，沿途取屬我的。這非搖搖欲墜的自信，而是平靜有意識的協調。

不安全感創造惡性循環。目標越重要，達成渴望越大，不安全感越大。你對某事越擔憂焦慮，恐懼越快應驗。為自我價值爭鬥耗能量。內疚感可將生活轉為失敗者的悲慘存在。如何逃出這糾結迷宮？無法。無出路。迷宮秘密在於，當你停止尋找出口，放開事物重要性，迷宮牆自會崩塌。停止證明自我價值，它必回歸。停止向他人辯解，你不再內疚。同樣，若降低對外物的重視，你不再受其表面重大意義支配。最終，當心與頭腦和諧，達成完美協調。為此，聽從心靈指引，忠於自己的信念。
