Thought for the Day

  • There is more to giving than just doing. It is being: being happy, being principled, being considerate and understanding, being a friend in all ways. And that kind of giving comes from within, because it is the outer expression of Universal Love. –Kabalarian Teachings

  • Another destructive channel to well being is comfort: it destroys self-confidence and robs one of a sense of responsibility. There is no greater gift we can bestow upon others than a happy smile and a constructive thought of well being. To be happy means that one must first have happiness within, and this comes only through a balanced mind and wisdom. –Alfred J. Parker

  • A habit is like a mental roadblock; it stops the expansion and growth of mind; it is something that is always with you and demands physical and mental attention, and sometimes to the almost complete exclusion of the other things of a constructive nature. –Alfred J. Parker

  • Appreciate and respect the Power of the Word (speech); never misuse this power by swearing, vulgarity, lying and deceit, falsifying another's statement, or destroying the reputation of others. –Alfred J. Parker
