The mind will tend to think most about that to which it is most exposed. Whatever enters the mind repeatedly occupies and shapes the mind, and ultimately, what we become. The events we attend, the material we read, the music we hear, the conversations we hold, the daydreams we entertain, ultimately determine our destiny. This week, make a decision to pay attention to your own thought life. Attend to your thought life. Ask yourself: "What am I thinking?" The first step toward transforming thoughts is becoming aware of them. - Mary Manin Morrissey

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man...for precisely the same reason." - Douglas Adams

The Hindu tradition talks about the "veil." When we look at someone, we see our perception of that person. When we look with judgment, the veil becomes more opaque.

Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances - it was somebody's name, or he happened to be there at the time, or it was so then, and another day would have been otherwise. Strong men believe in cause and effect. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
You may be facing a challenging question right now. You may be pondering your life's path. Perhaps you are struggling over a creative new idea or wondering how to parent in a new way. Whatever challenge you encounter, know that your answers exist within you. Others may inspire and assist us, but only we know the resonance in our hearts that says, "Yes, this is right." God imbued us with perfect truth meters that we can trust, when we are still, and really listen to the voice for God within. - Mary Manin Morrissey

Sitting quietly, doing nothing, Spring comes and the grass grows by itself. - Zen Poem, Japanese
As spiritual beings having a human experience, we lift our perspective through prayer. When we pray, we align our thinking with God's thought.

It is the Golden Key to harmony and happiness...Simply try it for yourself, and see." - Mary Manin Morrissey

Those who enjoy the greatest lives are not extraordinary people, or even ordinary people with something added. They are not necessarily the wealthiest or most professionally acclaimed.

Five centuries before Jesus Christ, Lao Tsu, in the Tao Te Ching offered a prescription for living: "Everyone says my way of life is of a simpleton. Being largely the way of a simpleton is what makes it worthwhile. It is simple. If it were not the way of a simpleton, it would have been worthless long ago. These possessions of a simpleton, being the three I choose and cherish: To be humble, to care, to be fair. When a man is humble, he can grow. When a man cares, he is unafraid. When a man is fair, he has enough for others." Living a simple life means keeping our priorities in order. - Mary Manin Morrissey

ite all the differences, the unity of mankind will assert itself irresistibly. - Carl Jung
When we make a commitment to a spiritual practice that brings growth, a compassionate universe sends us temptation.

What this says is that when we have a consciousness of abundance, we draw to us more abundance; when we think in lack and limitation, that is the experience we bring forth. This is the working of spiritual law. - Mary Manin Morrissey

He overheard a customer tell the butcher, "Cut me some of the good stuff"; the butcher replied, "Hey, take a look - nothing but good stuff!" This was just the catalyst P'an-shan needed.

Courage is grace under pressure. - Ernest Hemingway
True religion is the life we lead, not the creed we profess. - Louis Nizer
There are really two ways we can develop and deepen our relationship with God. One that many of us have chosen is pain; we only turn to God when our world is falling apart. The other is to commit ourselves to serious spiritual practice. In this practice, we stay awake to our thinking and choose thoughts that give life, saying no to thoughts that don't give life. This brings us to greater awakeness to who we really are, created in the image and likeness of God. Practice is the key word. We are like a sailboat tacking into the wind. If we get off the path we can always come back. - Mary Manin Morrissey
By habitually seeing as a problem every tiny thing that does not accord exactly with our self-cherishing wishes, we exaggerate small things into huge problems. - Lama Zopa Rinpoche in "Transforming Problems into Happiness"

We have all done things that do not reflect the greatness of our souls, but God always sees through our behaviors to our real selves. - Mary Manin Morrissey

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. - Albert Einstein

The happy people are those who are producing something; the bored people are those who are consuming much and producing nothing. - William Ralph Inge

Slight not what is near though aiming at what is far. – Euripides
There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that is your own self. - Aldous Huxley
We are born with an energy of aliveness and a belief that life is good. Watch a toddler's zest for walking. No matter how many times she falls, she has a dream of being a walker! But over time there can be an erosion of our belief in ourselves. We're born to dream, but as we experience disappointment, we begin to believe more in circumstances than in what's implanted in our own hearts. Think about this: If two people can look at the same situation and hold diametrically opposed views about what that situation means, then the real truth is not in the circumstance, but in the belief. - Mary Manin Morrissey
Goose bumps happen when your soul is close to you, breathing lightly on the back of your neck, and wakes you up. - Rachel Naomi Remen quoted in "Stretching Lessons" by Sue Bender

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. - Helen Keller
When we dedicate ourselves to offering our best, the natural outcome is that it is good for ourselves, for the planet, and for other people. But this kind of choice inevitably holds difficulty and challenge because without God's help we cannot do it. Nor should we, because if we can do it on our own, it's not big enough and it's not worthy of what God has called us here to be and do. Think about why you have come here - is it big enough? - Mary Manin Morrissey
There is a light that shines beyond all things on earth, beyond the highest, the very highest heavens. This is the light that shines in your heart. - Chandoggya Upanishad
Look upon every day as the whole of life, not merely as a section; and enjoy and improve the present without wishing, through haste, to rush on to another. - Johann Paul Friedrich Richter
Created in the image and after the likeness of God, we don't get a choice about whether we will be creative, but we can choose what it is that we create.

If we align ourselves with God's hope for us, we open to the great and abundant lives for which we are created. - Mary Manin Morrissey

Forgiveness is man's deepest need and highest achievement. - Horace Bushnell
Wherever I am, God is, and therefore, I am never alone. With this knowledge, I know there is no circumstance that cannot be overcome. There is no dream too big to dream.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. - Beverly Sills
Goodness is the only investment that never fails. - Henry David Thoreau
Beginning this moment, we can pledge to do one act of greatness each day. An act of greatness is any task, behavior or deed performed in a loving way for a good purpose. We can practice greatness through service, through praise and acknowledgment, in our work, and in building a dream. An act of greatness today, tomorrow, and the next day: soon, we discover that the magnificent life we once believed elusive is the very one we're leading. - Mary Manin Morrissey
In this world you must be oh, so clever, or oh, so pleasant.
For years I was clever.
I'd recommend pleasant. - Elwood P. Dowd

It is a good thing to be rich, it is a good thing to be strong, but it is a better thing to be beloved of many friends. – Euripedes
