Ella Wheeler Wilcox's

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

body by the same Power that brought you into the world, then it is safe to suppose that conditions are ready for you to start anew in another place. Wait for that call.

The actor who rushes upon the stage before his cue is given spoils the play and ruins his own chances for glory.

Keep behind the earthly scenes until you hear the call. Meanwhile think well of your lines and be ready to do your best when called.

However discouraged you may be thousands of successful and happy people in the world to-day have been just as discouraged and unhappy as you are at some time in their lives.

In Greater New York there lives to-day a woman who less than a year ago harbored dark, despairing thoughts of suicide.

She had made a mistake; she had lost her self respect, and every imaginable trouble seemed to threaten her. Hunger and misery for those dear to her and dependent upon her, with despair and remorse, all combined to turn her thoughts toward the coward's goal --- suicide.

But seeming accident deterred her, and now in less than a year all has changed. She has risen to new spiritual and moral heights, she has obtained work and is leading a good, useful, Christian life.

She is making those dear to her happy and comfortable.

How much better than to have sunk them in the depths of a lifelong sorrow by a rash attempt at self-destruction --- an attempt which destroys only the outer shell, but leaves the real being to suffer on until it works out and expiates its crime.
