Description

DESCARTES SAID, “I think, therefore I am.” How important are these five words to you? They should be the most important five words in your life, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every month, every year. These words are your passport to happiness You can travel wherever you choose and you will never be alone. With these words you create a worthwhile foundation in the world within your mind and heart, a world of light and calm and order. These five words separate you from the animal, they are the keys to the greatness within you that is awaiting recognition. When a thing is new, people say, “It’s not true!” Later when it’s truth becomes obvious, they say, “It’s not important!” Finally when it’s importance cannot be denied, they say, “Anyway, it is not new!” It is often said that education and training are the keys to the future. They are, but a key can be turned in two directions. Turn it one way and you lock resources away, even from those they belong to. Turn it the other way and you release resources and give people back to themselves. To realize our true creative potential – we need to think differently about ourselves and to act differently towards one another. Your thoughts about things can betray you – and often do – because they can be coloured by your emotional perceptions. You can hate a thing for what you think it is – or you can love a thing for what you know it can become. Just observe what is so. Then observe what you think about what is so. Then ask yourself, “Why am I thinking that?” And, more important, “What would happen if I thought something else?”
