上帝的即时信息
上帝：你好，你是不是呼叫我？
我：呼叫你？没有啊，你是谁？
上帝：我是上帝。我听到你的祷告，你希望我们能聊一下。
我：是啊，我确实在祷告——这能让我心情舒服一点。但我现在确实很忙，我正在处理某件事情。
上帝：你究竟在忙些什么？蚂蚁也跟你一样忙碌。
我：我也不知道自己在忙什么？我就是找不到一点空闲时间。生活变得如此匆忙，每一分每一秒都显得那么急促。
上帝：是的。做事情只能让你变得忙碌，效率才能让你获得结果。做事情花费时间，而效率却能帮你节省时间。
我：这我都懂，可我就是摸不着头绪。顺便提一下，我并不希望你用即时信息不断地干扰我的工作。
上帝：我觉得有必要向你阐明一些事情以帮助你摆脱跟时间无休止的斗争。在这个网络时代，我选择了让你觉得舒适的沟通方式来跟你交流。
我：好吧。那你能告诉我么，为什么现在生活变得如此复杂？
上帝：停止分析生活吧，你只需生活在其中，是分析让你把生活变得如此复杂。
我：为什么我们经常不开心？
上帝：你的今天是你昨天担心的明天。你经常忧心忡忡，因为你不能停止分析生活，担心已经成为你的习惯，你为此不开心。
我：那怎样才能不担心，毕竟生活中有这么多不确定性。
上帝：不确定性是无法避免的，但是我们可以选择是否去担心它。
我：虽然是这样，但是不确定性会给我们带来很多痛苦。
上帝：痛苦是不可避免的，但我们可以选择是否去承受它。
我：既然承受痛苦可以成为一种选择，那为什么优秀的人总是选择去承受痛苦？
上帝：真金不怕火炼。优秀的人总是历经考验，但这并不意味着你因此必须承受痛苦。因为有了这些磨练，他们的生活应该变得更好，而不是更痛苦。
我：你的意思是说这些经历有价值？
上帝：是的。在日常生活中，经历是一个严厉的老师。她总是先给你考验然后再告诉你人生的道理。
我：可是我们为什么必须经受这些考验？为什么我不能远离这些烦人的问题？
上帝：问题总是有针对性地设置障碍，但是它能为你提供有益的经验。它能提升你的精神，提升你从奋斗和忍耐中获得的内在力量，这些都不是你远离问题能够获得的。
我：恕我直言，深陷在问题的泥淖中，我们常不知道该往哪里走。
上帝：如果往外看，你将不会知道你该往哪里走，那就看看你的内心吧。往外看，你只会无止境地梦想着能得到什么；往内心里看，你才能有所顿悟。眼睛让你看到景象，心灵让你富有远见卓识。
我：有时候不能够较快获得成功比朝正确方向前进更让我们受伤，我应该怎样做？
上帝：成功是别人定义的，满不满意却由自己内心决定。知道前方的道路比盲目往前冲更让人舒服和满意。你带着指南针工作，让别人带着时钟工作吧。
我：在艰难的时期，怎样才能保持激情？
上帝：经常回头看看你已经走了多远而不是整天忧心你还要走多远；经常庆幸你正在获得的而不是懊悔你正在失去的。
我：人们有哪些事情让你感到惊讶？
上帝：当承受失败和痛苦时，他们问：“为什么是我？”当他们获得成功时，他们从不问：“为什么是我？”每个人都希望真理站在他们一边，却没有人想站在真理的一边。
我：有时候我问自己是谁，为什么会在这里？我百思不得其解。
上帝：不要试图找出你是谁，而是确定你要成为谁；不要试图回答你为什么会在这里，而是确立你的目标。生活不是一个寻找的过程而是一个创造的过程。
我：我怎样才能获得最好的生活？
上帝：不带悔意地面对你的过去；充满自信地把握你的现在；毫不畏惧地迎接你的未来。
我：最后一个问题。有时候我觉得我的祷告都没有得到答复。
上帝：恩，其实所有的祷告都有答复，有时候答案可能就是一个简单的“不”字。
我：很感谢能跟你这么愉快地聊天。
上帝：不客气。记住：坚持你的信仰，扔掉你的恐惧。不要相信你所怀疑的但怀疑你所相信的。生活是一个谜语而不是有待解决的问题。相信我，生活是很美好的，前提是你必须知道怎样生活。
Instant Message from God
God : Hello. Did you call me?
转载自 Angelived中文翻译
God : This is GOD - I heard your prayers - thought we'd chat.
Me: Well, I do pray - makes me feel good - but I'm actually busy right now. I'm in the midst of something.
God : What're you busy at? Ants are busy, too.
Me: Don't know. But I can't find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.
God : Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.
Me: I understand, but I still can't figure it out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.
God : Well, I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.
Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?
God : Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.
Me: Why are we then constantly unhappy?
God : Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not happy.
Me: But how can we NOT worry when there is so much uncertainty?
God : Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty. God : Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
God : Diamonds cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials but don't necessarily have to suffer because of them. With their experiences, their life ought to become better, not bitter.
Me: You mean to say such experiences are useful?
God : Yes. In everyday terms, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.
Me: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can't we be free from problems?
God : Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.
Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we're heading....
God : If you look outside, you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.
Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast enough seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?
God : Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.
Me: In tough times, how can we stay motivated?
God : Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.
Me: What surprises you about people?
God : When they suffer they ask, "Why me?" When they prosper, they never ask, "Why me?" Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, yet few want to be on the side of the truth.
Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I? why am I here? I can't get the answer.
God : Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.
Me: How can I get the best out of life?
God : Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.
God : There are no unanswered prayers. Sometimes the answer is simply NO.
Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat.
God : Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live."
