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

"You are gifted by the Creator," his parents told him, "and you will one day make a name which shall be known all over the world. You must study and observe and grow, and write as you feel."

Every crude effort was praised, and the boy grew up with a belief in his talents, which the future justified, and the world acknowledged his gifts in early life.

Praise and encouragement from parents are the foundation of success for many a man and woman; and ridicule and discouragement from the same source have caused many a human being's failure to reach the heights.
