Orvadasp - Name Meaning — Is Your Name Helping You?

I cannot stress too deeply the importance of one's constructive mental attitude toward life. One gets out of life only what one puts into it; everything must be seeded in different degrees. Always express happy thoughts and keep an uncomplaining mind. A complaining mind is a destructive one-destructive to health and happiness. How easily we may be made unhappy depends upon the weakness and ignorance of our own minds. Happy thoughts expressed are like the sunbeams that create warmth-that stimulate one's sense of well being and make us feel happy. Give happiness and you will receive it in return: it is a natural phenomenon of a balanced and well-ordered mind. Do not complain; instead seek the solution to the problem, and then you can do something constructive about it. This can best be accomplished by forgetting self; too much false value is placed upon self and personality, thus developing an overrated and inflated ego that sees all things in proportion to its own ignorance. –Alfred J. Parker

There have always been hard times. There have always been wars and troubles such as famine and disease, and some folks are born with money, some with none. In the end it is up to the man what he becomes, and none of those other things matters. It is character that counts. –Louis L'Amour

I would rather be ashes than dust; I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot; I would rather be in a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow than in a sleepy and permanent planet; the proper function of man is to live, not to exist; I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them; I shall USE my time. –Jack London

They are simple little words when you think of them; self control, self discipline, and selflessness, and yet they represent a world of consciousness in thought, because every thought, every word, and every action can be fitted into one of those three categories. –Kabalarian Teachings
