I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help.
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.
Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto1 it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.
If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don't despair2. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard-of privilege3.
Should you have a bad day at work, think of the man who has been out of work for years.
Should you despair over a relationship gone bad, think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.
Should you grieve the passing of another weekend, think of the woman in dire straits4, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.
Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance, think of the paraplegic5 who would love the opportunity to take that walk.
Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror, think of the cancer patient in chemotherapy6 who wishes she had hair to examine.
Should you find yourself at a loss7 and pondering8 what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.
Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance9, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!
Should you decide to send this to a friend. Thank you, you may have touched their life in ways you will never know!
我是上帝。今天我将会处理你的所有问题。 请记住，我不需要你的帮助。
如果生活中碰巧发生了某些事情你无法处理，不要勉强自己去解决它。请将它投入SFGTD（上帝的事情）信箱。所有问题将迎刃而解，不过是在我的时间，不是你的时间。
一旦问题放入信箱，就不要牵肠挂肚。相反，你应该把注意力放在眼前生活的种种美妙上。
如果你遇到塞车，不要失望。 因为在这个世界上，开车对某些人来说是闻所未闻的特权。
如果你哪天工作不顺，就想想那些长年失业的人吧。
如果你因为某段关系变糟而感到绝望， 就想想那些从不知爱与被爱为何物的人吧。
如果你为又一个周末的逝去而悲伤，就想想那些为了养活孩子而陷入窘境、不得不一天工作12小时、一周工作7天的妇女吧。
如果你的汽车中途抛锚，还要步行几英里才能获得帮助，就想想那些多么渴望有机会走路的截瘫病人吧。
如果你在镜中发现自己新长了一根白发，就想想那些接受化疗、希望多少有些头发的癌症患者吧。
如果你茫然不知、正在思考生活的真谛并询问生活的目标，那就心存感激吧。因为有许多英年早逝的人根本没有机会去体验你的感受。
如果你因为别人的刻薄、无知、渺小或不安而受到无辜的伤害，记住，事情有可能更糟，假如你像他们一样去伤害别人。
如果你决定把这份备忘录发给朋友，我要谢谢你，也许你在不知不觉中改变了他们的生活态度。
