任何的退转，或者想不通，或者难过，都会让你自己的意志转换，时间长了会形成一个恶性循环——就是轮回，负能量轮回。意念不够光明，很容易给你心中带来黑暗，黑暗来了之后你就会觉得这个世界没有希望，会失去很多的精神支柱。 经常看那些能够坚持的人，会给你带来信心，带来力量，所以要接触那些有意志力的人，这就是为什么榜样的力量是无穷的。听听过去那些高僧大德的故事，会给你带来无穷的力量。看看高僧大德是怎么坚持的，你就会有力量；经常跟那些懦弱的人在一起，你会变得越来越懦弱；经常跟小孩子在一起，你就会经常哭，因为小孩子经常哭。 有智慧的人从别人的痛苦中得到力量，没有智慧的人从别人痛苦中影响自己，让自己变得痛苦，这就是没有辨别能力。过去的诸佛菩萨高僧大德给我们做了很多好的榜样，所以要从别人身上吸取正能量，去除自己身上的短处，但是首先要了解自己身上的缺点和短处才会改，否则不容易改。 心目遮障陷轮回， 无明缠缚心无慧。 知己缺陷方知悔， 信愿坚定佛心回。
反复地锻炼才能坚定你坚强的意识。菩萨怎么会成金刚的？百炼成刚。“炼”就是练就你的心力，不被外境所困扰——无论外面再怎样，你都不改变，这就是心力。为什么有些人碰到事情就变，而有些人如如不动，这就是一个人内心的力量。 坚持念经，会有心力；坚持自己的理念，会有恒心。坚持不下去的人因为自己的理念不够坚定，所以才经常会恍恍惚惚。有时候很恨自己，就是因为不够坚强，经常变来变去，心有所动，心随境转。心随境转的人，不能战胜自己。不管外境怎么变，你还是做你的工作，这就相当于你在工作单位人家把你调到其他任何部门你都好好工作一样，不会因为部门变了，你就工作不努力了，其实都是一样的。 什么叫意志？“意”是从你的意念中来的；“志”就是你的志气，你对某件事情的坚持，就会有志气。意念决定你的意志，意志锻炼你的意念。意志可以让你的意念更加坚强，意念就是念头。一念善升天，一念恶下地狱，所以要管住自己的念头，要靠自己坚强的意志，这就是最重要的。 人生虚幻一场梦， 心转境转心如盲。 意志坚强心念空， 心如金刚无所动。
