“Each of us is born with the freedom to choose the thoughts that will direct our lives. We choose the path we want to walk down. We have the power to choose what we wish to carry along the way. With that in mind, it would seem to make good sense to choose thoughts that will form positive attitudes and that stress our unlimited potential. Negative thoughts and attitudes weigh us down; they make our journey through life so much more difficult. Every thought we allow into our mind affects the thoughts, feelings, and actions we express. If we hold negative thoughts, our actions are going to be negative, and, in turn, negative results will be returned to us. However, positive thoughts return positive results and life becomes a happy, motivating adventure in which we see ourselves and all others in the true light of what we really are. We suddenly see that each of us is a wonderful, magical, mysterious expression of life. As long as our thoughts remain positive and are grounded in accomplishing the goal in front of us, the progress we make on the path of life will be steady and rewarding.”
- Sir John Templeton, Discovering The Laws of Life (Week 33, Law D)

I love reading his work because it gives me more confidence I'm on to something important and meaningful. JC |

"The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts". - Marcus Aurelius See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
The Authentic Life is the life you were created to live. Not the life you were told to live. Not the life designed from other people's expectations, cultural definitions of success, or the quiet pressure of what everyone else is doing. It was placed in you by the Divine–unique to you, complete within you, and waiting to be discovered. You were born with unique gifts and talents, passions, character traits, and even weaknesses that no one else possesses in quite the same combination. When you...
