Wisdom of the Ages

“The best wisdom I have found for relationships is that what makes you love a person is what will drive you crazy. Choose your friends & lovers knowing this. Most things in life come down to two emotions, love & fear. When you can’t understand what is going on around you, try to find the fear and meet it with real genuine love, it works.”

“I have learnt that your own actions have an effect on others. Before you do something, think about why you are doing it, but then also think about how others will be effected by what you do. I did this once, thought about my reasons for doing something but forgot the effect on others.”

“I’ve learned a lot in this life, but probably the most important thing is that you get what you focus on (think about a great deal). In other words if you focus on fearful things, poverty, illness, that’s what you get. If you focus on appreciating all the good that’s in the world, how much of that good has come your way, how you can be as emotionally grounded as possible, you’ll be a much happier person.
I believe that thoughts are almost magnetic and attract to you like thoughts until you form a “body of thought” which forms a person’s vibration. Your vibration is a sum of the thoughts that run through your head. Put another way, your frequent thoughts form something like a radio signal which is what we send out to the universe. I’ve turned my life around by putting these ideas into practice. ”

1. God’s peace that passeth understanding is the thing that has gotten me this far and many times when I thought I could not go on, it was there at the end of an humble sincere prayer, assuring me that things were going to be okay. In every instance so far that I’ve received that assurance, the situation has worked out, even when I didn’t see any way possible for things to work out.
2. Be patient. God works things out when it is best for everyone concerned, but this is not necessarily as soon as I wanted it to be.
3. As much as lieth within you, leave peaceably with all men. This doesn’t mean you are weak, it just means you are allowing love you guide your behavior and your words.
