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

some reason, some cause in yourself, if you have not what you desire.

If you encounter people who are disagreeable, be so agreeable that you force them into a pleasant mood. Bring out the best in everybody by giving them the best that is in yourself.

It was "Madeline Bridges," that gifted poet who has said so many beautiful things, who put this great truth into simple words:

"Give to the world the best you have, And the best shall come to you."

Just so sure as you live these lines, so sure shall be your reward. But to do all this you must be alive.

Alive every hour of the day, and all of you; brain, soul and body must be alive. Once you roll the stone away and come forth, alive, you will vibrate at such a rate that worry, disease, poverty, despondency, gloom and melancholy will be unable to stay with you.

They can only attach themselves to atoms in a slow and low rate of vibration --- to minds that are virtually dead.

There is no excuse for idleness, despondency and despair in this world, so long as you are alive.

However hopeless the outlook may seem to you, however difficult the path before you, you can find the way to independence and success if you never let go.

It may require a long time. But if you had your choice to-day --- to stay in a dark, foggy valley and slowly starve to death, or to climb a steep, long mountain road which required years of endeavor and fatigue, yet led to comfort and beauty at the top --- you would, I am sure, start at once up the mountain.
