New Thought Common Sense

"Evolution is better than Revolution. New Thought Library's New Thought Archives encompass a full range of New Thought media from Abrahamic to Vedic reflecting the ongoing evolution of human thought. New Thought's unique inclusion of science, art and philosophy contrasts with 'old thought' Religion. Today's 'New Thought 3.0' teaches personal responsibility, self-development, human rights and compassionate action as essential spiritual paradigms." ~ Avalon de Rossett

the domestic ship. The too good wife relies wholly upon one strand, and the ship breaks anchor.

If your husband has given up dissipation, do not insist that he must let his cigar go also.

If he has abandoned the gaming table, do not say that he must give up the social game of cards as well, to make you happy.

If he has stopped all flirtatious relations with the opposite sex, do not ask him to relinquish all friendly associations with other woman.

If he has come up out of a lower plane to your altitude, do not ask him to stand forever upon a pedestal. Let him walk upon the earth among mortals and be satisfied.

In order to think him a good man, do not ask him to be an angel.

Wholesome, normal, sensible human beings are what we all need to be while on earth, not disembodied spirits.

Clean thoughts, clean habits, clean bodies and happy hearts and faces, help to make beautiful lives and homes.

But the too good wife sometimes sees evil where it does not exist, and by suspicion and insinuation ruins her own chances of happiness.

In order to be a good wife, do not be "too good." And remember "Thoughts are things" and as you continually think of your husband, so you are helping him to be.

The star sheds radiance on a million worlds,

The sea is prodigal with waves, and yet

No luster from the star is lost, and not

One drop is missing from the ocean tides.
