Food for Thought and Life

“The person who suffers from inner poverty is relentlessly driven to accumulate on the material level.”

—David R. Hawkins
 
“The abundance of God is like a mighty ocean*, so vast you cannot possibly exhaust it or cause a shortage for others. You can go to this inexhaustible ocean with only a small cup and bring away only that small cup of bounty and blessing. Or, if you have faith enough, you can take a bucket and bring away a bucketful. It makes no difference to the ocean. Nor does it matter how often you go. Abundance is always there. You are the architect of your life.”

—Henry Thomas Hamblin

* Market, like a mighty ocean, is inexhaustibly abundant. Approach it from a mind of abundance, not scarcity.
 
“Our values are preferences. We hold them because we love them, enjoy them, and get pleasure from them. If we tell somebody that we do something because we get enjoyment out of it, there is really nothing much they can say about it. However, if we tell them we do it because we are right in doing it, we will instantly see their hackles go up because they, too, have an opinion on what is right. The reason that pride arouses attack is because of the inference of being “better than,” which is part and parcel of pride. If we don’t take a prideful stance about our opinions, then we are at liberty to change them. How often have we gotten stuck in performing something we really didn’t want to do, because we had foolishly taken a prideful stance on an opinion! Very often we would like to have changed our mind or the direction in which we were going, but we got ourselves boxed in by having taken a prideful position. That brings up one of the resistances to surrendering pride, and that is pride itself. In the prideful position, one of the underlying problems is fear. We fear that, if we change our position in a certain matter, the opinion of others about us will be adversely affected.”

—David R. Hawkins
 
“All of us have our own inner fears, beliefs, opinions. These inner assumptions rule and govern our lives. A suggestion has no power in and of itself. Its power arises from the fact that you accept it mentally. Busy your mind with the concepts of harmony, health, peace, and good will, and wonders will happen in your life.”

―Joseph Murphy
 
“We’re addicted to our beliefs; we’re addicted to the emotions of our past. We cannot create a new future by holding on to the emotions of the past. Spend time contemplating who you want to be. The mere process of contemplating who you want to be, begins to change your brain.”

―Joe Dispenza
