November 12, 2009 Attitudes

A 92-year old, petite, well poised and proud man – who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, with his hair fashionably combed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind – moved to a nursing home today.

Start Your Day Off With the Right Mental Attitude

November 11, 2009 Attitudes

I know a man who, if he happens to forget something in the morning and is obliged to run back for it and perhaps is late at his office, will fret and stew, curse and swear, not realizing that he is poisoning his mind, getting himself out of time, and totally unfitting himself for the [...]

To Receive Love You Have to Give Love

November 10, 2009 Attitudes

Many people are disappointed because they have so little love in their lives.  I have heard one woman say that she does not believe there is any such thing as real unselfish love.  She has found that what she thought was love in some of her so-called friends was only self-interest, for when she was [...]

The Magic Vase of Right Attitude and Positive Thinking

November 9, 2009 Attitudes

An eastern legend tells of a wonderful vase–known as the vase of life–which was full of a mysterious liquid.  No one could tell what this liquid was.  No chemist could analyze it or tell what entered into its composition.  The marvelous thing about it was that whatever one dropped into it would overflow and run [...]

An Ineffective Way to Break Bad Habits

November 6, 2009 Habits

Some of us think the best way to break a bad habit is to taper it off.  Our mistaken idea is not to subject ourselves to the shock and strain of breaking off a habit sharply.  We think we can do better by letting go gradually.  But the real fact is that to taper off [...]

Self-Depreciation Is Not True Humility and Lacks Self-Respect

November 5, 2009 Self-Respect

Truly there is no more demoralizing thing than the habit of berating one’s self.  How very often we find people who do this.  They seem to derive the very keenest delight in telling how trivial is their worth in comparison to others.
This habit of self-depreciation is demoralizing to one’s character, because it has a very [...]

Our Secret Thoughts Are Revealed Through Our Habits

November 4, 2009 Habits

We ourselves are the builders of our habits, and therefore we are the creators of ourselves in that sense.  This quotation is frequently given:  “We sow a thought and reap an act, we sow an act and reap a habit, we sow a habit and reap a character, we sow a character and reap a [...]

Always Have a Worthy Goal Before You

November 3, 2009 Ambition

One big weakness in too many of us is that we do not have our hearts set on some worthy objective.  We have no hope to be deferred.  Tragic is this condition for any life.  Everyone should have his or her heart set on a few really worthy goals.  …  When worthy desires are realized, [...]

The Attitude of Understanding

November 2, 2009 Attitudes

When we sincerely like people and try to get their point of view, we create a mental attitude that actually releases from within ourselves “that something” which others sense and to which they naturally respond. …  Sincerely serve people and try to get their point of view. …  People will reflect it in their attitudes [...]

Lower Your Blood Pressure – Adjust Your Attitude

November 1, 2009 Attitudes

The more heated our reactions to a problem or subject the more, I think, we should suspect our motives and judgment.  If we are unable to give a respectful hearing and consideration to the opposite point of view we should begin to doubt the soundness of our position.
This does not mean that we should be [...]
