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

Only by such an attitude of mind can you ever hope to render the situation less insupportable, or to influence them to be what you desire.

If you are nagging, sarcastic, contemptuous, irritable, cold, sullen or indifferent to those who annoy you, then you are making a bad matter worse, and you are wasting beautiful life, and valuable mental forces, in a mean and ignoble manner.

You are sinning against yourself, even more than these people are sinning against you.

If the individual who disappoints you is your wife or your husband are you doing all in your power to better the condition?

Remember, it is the most vitally important matter in your life; in two lives; and if there are children, in their lives also.

The man who marries a woman he loves, and who loves him, and then fails to keep her loving and happy, is either a vicious or a weak man.

The woman who fails to keep her husband happy and in love with her is either a vicious or a weak woman. Somewhere there is a weak point.

If you are running about to your neighbors for consolation, talking about your domestic disappointments, you are assuredly weak, and you are not meeting
