決心行動
23. Resolve to Act
原則 (Principle)
Principle
如果你有某些需要或渴望的事物，千萬別浪費能源猶豫不決。就像收到郵局通知取件的訊息一樣，立刻取回屬於你的東西。你應該立刻採取行動，而非坐而論道。無論你當下需要的是公車、停車位、購物、文件、考試、面試或會議——任何東西，不要光停留在腦海中思索，而要立即出發。拋開那些讓你猶豫的憂慮，如「這可能嗎？我該怎麼做？去哪裡找？」全部的焦慮、希望與慾望，都拋至腦後，只剩下一種冷靜自信的狀態。重點在於專注於那種獲得所需物品後的感受，而不是對條件或過程進行無休止的推敲。例如，我從不去思考是否能趕上公車、公車是否會來或需等待多久……我只知道，當我走向公車站時，公車總會在那一刻出現。讓這種狀態伴隨你走遍每個角落。（Note: 強調行動的重要性與果斷決定）
If there is something, you need or want, do not waste energy procrastinating over it. Just take what is yours as if you had received a card from the post office asking you to collect a parcel. You have to intend rather than deliberate. If what you need, right now is a bus, a parking spot, a purchase, a document, an exam, an interview, a meeting — anything, do not just think about it, go out and get it. Let go of worrying thoughts, such as, ‘but is it possible, how will I do it, where will I find it’. Ditch all anxiety, hope, and desire until all that you have left is a calm confidence. Focus on what it feels like to get what you want without all sorts of conditions or reasoning about it. For example, I don’t think about whether I’II be in time for the bus, whether the bus will come or how long I will have to wait... I simply walk to the bus stop knowing that the bus will arrive at any moment. Let this state accompany you everywhere.

通常，當你突然產生某種瞬間的慾望時，大腦中就會啟動一個分析系統，不斷自問：「這真的行得通嗎？」你必須摒棄這個有害習慣。慾望並不會自動轉化為實現，夢想亦不會自然而然成真，只有純粹的意圖 (Intention) 才會真正具現。並非慾望本身促成具現，而是對所渴求之物的明確肯定。意圖 (Intention) 並非體現為激情或狂熱，而是關乎冷靜的專注與堅定的決心。若你懷疑或恐懼，世界便會如同任何鏡子般反映出你的情緒狀態，結果，無論你多麼渴望的東西，都難以實現。無論做何事，都請以自信行事。失敗的可能性總是存在，但只要你不動搖，你成功的機率便會大大提升。放下懷疑，你又有何可失？若結果好轉，那固然極佳；若不如預期，也不過是小挫折而已。依據意圖協調 (Coordination of intention) 的原則，若你將關於一個看似負面事件的思緒轉化為正向思維，那麼這個事件也必將呈現正面面貌。試著有意識地掌控你行動的決心，就好比直接調整你的好運值。（Note: 此段強調以純粹的意圖取代慾望，並藉由意圖協調帶動正向具現）
Usually, when you experience any momentary desire, an analyzer switches on in the brain and starts asking, “But will it work or not?” You have to give up this harmful habit. Desires are not fulfilled, dreams do not come true, but pure intention manifests. It is not the desire itself that leads to manifestation but the affirmation of what is desired. Intention is not about intensity or zeal. It is about quite focus and resolve. If you doubt or fear, the world like any mirror will reflect your emotional state, and as a result, nothing will come of what you wanted. Whatever you do, do it with confidence. There is always a possibility of failure. However, your chances of success are greatly increased when you aren’t wavering. What do you have to lose by letting go of doubt? If it works out then great, if it doesn’t, it’s not the end of the world. Support can be found in the principle of coordinating intention. If you turn your thoughts concerning a seemingly negative event into positive thoughts, then that is exactly what the event will be. Think of consciously controlling your resolve to act as if you were directly controlling your measure of good luck.

如果有什麼你需要或想要的，不要浪費精力拖延。就像你收到郵局的卡片要求你去領取包裹一樣，直接拿走屬於你的東西。你必須意圖而不是考慮。如果你現在需要的是一輛巴士、一個停車位、一個購物、一份文件、一場考試、一場面試、一場會議——任何事情，不要只是想著它，去得到它。放下擔憂的想法，比如，“但這可能嗎，我該怎麼做，我在哪裡找到它”。拋棄所有的焦慮、希望和渴望，直到你只剩下冷靜的自信。專注於獲得你想要的感覺，而不去考慮各種條件或理由。例如，我不考慮我是否能趕上巴士，巴士是否會來，或者我需要等多久……我只是走到巴士站，知道巴士隨時會到。讓這種狀態伴隨你到處。

通常，當你有任何瞬間的渴望時，大腦中的分析器會啟動並開始問：“但這會成功嗎？”你必須放棄這種有害的習慣。渴望不會實現，夢想不會成真，但純粹的意圖會顯現。不是渴望本身導致顯現，而是對所渴望的肯定。意圖不在於強度或熱情，而在於安靜的專注和決心。如果你懷疑或恐懼，世界就像任何鏡子一樣，會反映你的情緒狀態，結果你想要的東西什麼也得不到。無論你做什麼，都要自信地去做。失敗總是有可能的。然而，當你不猶豫時，你成功的機會大大增加。放下懷疑你會失去什麼？如果成功了，那就太好了，如果不成功，這也不是世界末日。支持可以在意圖協調 (Coordination of intention) 的原則中找到。如果你將對看似負面事件的想法轉化為積極的想法，那麼事件就會變成這樣。想像有意識地控制你的行動決心，就像你直接控制你的好運一樣。

若你需要或想要某物，勿浪費能量拖延。如同收到郵局通知去領包裹，拿屬你的。你需意圖而非深思。若你現在需要公交車、停車位、購買、文件、考試、面試、會議——任何事，別只想，去拿。放開擔憂，如“可能嗎，我如何做，哪裡找”。丟棄焦慮、希望、渴望，直到僅剩平靜自信 (Calm Confidence)。聚焦於得到想要的感覺，無條件或推理。例如，我不思考是否趕上公交、公交會否來或等多久…我只走向站台，知公交隨時到。讓這狀態隨你到處。

通常，當你有瞬間渴望，大腦分析器啟動，問：“會成嗎？”你需放棄這有害習慣。渴望不實現，夢想不真，純粹意圖 (Pure Intention) 顯現。意圖非強度或熱情，是安靜的焦點與決心 (Focus and Resolve)。若你懷疑或恐懼，世界如鏡子反映你的情緒，結果你想要的無成。無論做什麼，帶自信。總有失敗可能。但不動搖，你的成功機會大增。放開懷疑你會失去什麼？若成功，太好了；若不，世界未末。支持可在意圖協調原則找到。若你將看似負面事件的思緒轉為正面，事件會如此。將控制行動決心視為直接控制你的好運量。
