THOUGHTS are THINGS - their vibrations reach everyone in every sphere. Thoughts create relationships and they do reach everyone in every walk of life. We direct Thoughts that are Things towards our Self and to others all the time. Let YOUR thoughts be harmonious and constructive and loving - every moment of your life. The following is part of Marianne's small collection of inspirational thoughts:

Friendship is one mind in two bodies. - Mencius

OM MANI PADME HUM
“May all the peoples hearts be filled with loving kindness,
bodhichitta and the thought to only benefit and not harm.
May the sun of peace and happiness arise
and may any wars that are happening stop immediately.
May there be harmony, peace
and may there never be war or violence again’…….
(translation) Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving. - Kahlil Gibran

When armies are mobilized and issues joined, The man who is sorry over the fact will win! - Lao-tzu

And once we have the condition of peace and joy in us, we can afford to be in any situation. - Thich Nhat Hanh

To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it. - Confucius

The Dr. of the Future will give no Medicine but will interest his Patients in the Care of the Human Frame, in Diet and in the Cause and Prevention of Disease. - Thomas Edison

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is not that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselfs "who am I to be brilliant?" Actually, who are you, not to be? You are a child of God. You playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us, it is within everyone - and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - part of Nelson Mandela's Inaugural Speech 1994

Know that the purpose for which each soul enters a physical experience is that it may be as a light unto others; not as one boastful of self or of self's abilities in any phase of the experience, wether mental or physical, but living, being in spirit that which is ideal and not idealistic alone, nor the unattainable. This - in that consciousness of daily living and being that which is in keeping with the ideal - life and its problems become not a burden, but opportunities - for the greater expressions and expansions of self in knowing that as ye sow daily the fruit of the spirit, ye need not worry nor fret theyself as to its growth. God giveth the increase. Hence be not weary in well-doing. - Edgar Cayce
