  • As a result, others finding you to be somewhat severe, aloof, and uncommunicative, withdraw from you.

  • You will not tolerate dominance by others because your freedom means too much to you.
  • Usually, you would prefer to develop your own business or work for someone who realizes your strengths.
  • You experience peace in nature and, through observing nature, can acknowledge the harmony and the harshness of life that applies to nature’s laws of instinct and survival.

Thought for the Day
  • 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

  • The most profound saying to remember is, "A still tongue makes a wise head." Do much thinking before you do much talking. –Alfred J. Parker

  • Universality of mind is expressed as clarity of thought, bigness of concept, freedom within mind to experience placidity, happiness, relaxation, and contentment. –Kabalarian Writings

  • 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
