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.

Today's 'New Thought 3.0' teaches personal responsibility, self-development, human rights and compassionate action as essential spiritual paradigms." ~ Avalon de Rossett

But if you are willing to roll the stone of self away and bid the Christ within you rise, you can bring yourself to life.

You do not need any conversion by a churchman; you do not need to subscribe to any creed; you do not need any change of heart, save the getting rid of your selfish, narrow, dull way of looking at life.

All you need is to say to yourself: "I am awake; I am alive to every glorious truth in this wonderful world; I am an immortal soul and there is nothing but light, joy, health and power for me."

Then begin your morning with a resolve to find the beautiful and good things in the day, in weather, in the work you have to do, in the people you meet.

If the weather greets you with bluster and wind and rain and snow and fog, light it up with your own spirit of sunshine.

I have known people so radiant that they made every one who approached them forget the weather.

If your work is distasteful, love it into shape, and keep in your mind a desire for something better and more congenial, and make yourself worthy of such work when it comes your way. No matter how uncongenial your task is to-day, consider it a blessing that you have employment, and push along to better things.

Everything comes when we are fully ready. The law never fails. You may believe yourself worthy of better things than have fallen to your lot, but there is
