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

The New Year

THE New Year suggests new ideals, new ambitions, new aspirations, new efforts to refined souls. Even the dull or worldly minded are induced to plan some new move, to better their lives at this season of the year.

Many men and women who have been living in folly and sin make an effort to begin over again with the New Year and to abandon their evil ways. It is not an easy thing to do, for ---

When a man tries to pull himself up out of sin
The Devil stands ready to push him back in.

But let no single relapse discourage the soul that really longs for a higher plane of life. Just in proportion to the strength of your desire for anything on earth is your strength to obtain it.

Whatever you wish to be, if you are a sane and normal-minded being, that you can be. "We will be what we will to be." It is not sane or normal to wish to be a Shakespeare, a Mozart, a Michelangelo, or any other great genius if you possess no marked talent. These colossal souls came into the world endowed with qualities which they earned in past lives.

But no matter how devoid of talent or genius you may be, remember you have an immortal mind and a will bestowed upon you by Divine Power, and with that mind and will you can achieve whatever you desire, if you are persistent and patient.
