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

this great problem with the strength and pride demanded by the situation.

The Invisible Helpers who stand very near a soul in trouble, should be the only intermediaries between husband and wife. Go alone into your room; sit very quietly and ask these Divine Friends to come to your aid; they are messengers of God, and will give you light and understanding when you are at the limit of your own strength.

Unless you have asked such guidance and felt your whole being go forth in the demand for light you have not done all you could or should to better the situation. Are you doing what you can, and all you should, for those nearest you, in a financial way?

And are you taking care not to overdo for others? It is your first obligation, before you give to public charities or foreign missions, or make a display in the world, to see that you have no relatives who are on the town, or liable to become public charges. If every man and woman attended to this duty there would be no need of almshouses or homes for paupers.

But it is just as imperative an obligation that you do not make paupers, by supporting people who are able to work, and who lose all moral fibre and all strength of character by having you pay their bills and assume their obligations. A rich man is often the worst enemy of his own children, when he allows them to grow up without self-reliance or a sense of responsibility.

How are you meeting all these problems of life?

Are you doing the best you can?
