NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 40

·         Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow. — Helen Keller

• ·         Comparison is the thief of joy. — Theodore Roosevelt
  ·         True religion carries over from one age to another the worth-while culture and that wisdom which is born of the experience of knowing God and striving to be like him.
  ·         Having appeared in response to the Father's will, personality will attain Deity destiny, but man must choose whether or not he will be present at the attainment of such destiny. The cycle is foreordained, but man's participation therein is optional, personal, and experiential.
  ·         Joy goes against the foundations of mathematics: it multiplies when we divide. — Paulo Coelho
  ·         Take Charge, Connect, Heal & Evolve
  ·         Have courage and Be kind – Cinderella
  ·         We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are. Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself. — R.J. Baughan
  ·         Modern man is perplexed by the thought of talking things over with God in a purely personal way. Many have abandoned regular praying; they only pray when under unusual pressure-in emergencies. Man should be unafraid to talk to God.
  ·         Nothing you can do can change eternal love.
  ·         Even though material mortals cannot see the person of God, they should rejoice in the assurance that he is a person.
  ·         A mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work if it is not open. –  Frank Zappa
  ·         Mindfulness is the ability to suspend the ego in order to see how best to apply our mind and conduct for the greatest good. More simply put, it is the ability to get out of ourselves and into service to others, with faith and confidence. That this is why we're here.
