~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ YOU ARE YOUR ENVIRONMENT The first step toward getting somewhere is to decide that you're not going to stay where you are. You're a product of your environment. So choose an environment that will best develop you toward your objective. Analyze your life in terms of your environment. Are the things around you helping you toward your success, or are they holding you back? You're not a captive of your environment. If you don't like where you are, change it. You're not planted in the ground like a tree. Don't say, 'You would, if you could,' say, 'You will, if you can.' When you become a part of anything, it becomes a part of you. © Reproductions Permitted http://www.TheDailyGuru.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CHOOSE UPLIFTING ENERGY I come to remind you to lift your energies. Do not let feelings of despair, fear or gloom overtake you. These vibrations do not lift the earth. They hold her down like a chain net, which cannot be broken. Lighten your thoughts - do not let fear enter your mind and heart. By allowing all, you are accepting all into your heart, and not restricting your movements by fear-driven feelings and thoughts. These feelings place a lock, or blockage, on your emotions, which stop the Love from flowing through your veins. ~ Astara through Chrissy Hamilton © Reproductions Permitted http://members.fortunecity.com/astara1/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DISCRIMINATION: QUOTES Of The DAY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “There are three sorts of pleasures which are advantageous, and three which are injurious: • Finding pleasure in the discriminating study of ceremonies and music, finding pleasure in discussing the good points in the conduct of others, and finding pleasure in having many wise friends, these are advantageous. • But finding pleasure in profligate enjoyments, finding pleasure in idle gadding about, and finding pleasure in feasting, these are injurious.” ~ Confucius (c. 551-c. 479 BC) Chinese philosopher, founder of Confucianism "To succeed in the world, it is much more necessary to possess the penetration to discern who is a fool, than to discover who is a clever man." ~ Charles M. de Talleyrand (1754-1838) French statesman “Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) “The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.” ~ Denis Watley “Deliberate Creating is really about caring how I feel so much that I am always willing to choose a better feeling thought.” ~ Abraham-Hicks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IT'S A GOOD TIME TO CHANGE Where you are in your life today, you made an appointment to be there five years ago. Where you'll be five years from now will be determined by your actions today and in the future. The first step toward getting somewhere is to decide that you're not going to stay where you are. Analyze your life in terms of your environment. Are the things around you helping you toward your success or are they holding you back? You're a product of your environment. So choose an environment that will best develop you toward your goals. Your world today is a living expression of how you're using and have used your mind. It's something you can change at any time. Don't remain a captive to your environment. Don't say "If I could, I would," say, "If I can, I will." You can make changes any time.

This word, like many, has undergone some change in connotation in common usage. Unfortunately the change has been on the negative side and leaves us with an impression that "discrimination" is an undesirable thing. The word has been applied to the injustices of racial slurs. The fact is that it comes from the Latin "discrimino", which actually means the ability to analyze, the capacity to perceive the parts of a thing and thus break it down into its just parts. Clearly, this is wise. A "discriminating person" has come to imply a fussy or "picky" one, a trait we also see in many Virgos. However, in its pure sense, the word only means the ability to differentiate things from one another, an analytical process without which we would be hard put to be wise. The relationship between the ability to discriminate and the capacity to live wisely is borne forth most clearly in the Message of Virgo: “Determine thy path with care, that you may follow the steep, narrow, and unused trail to perfection, but not the broad pleasant ways of the mortal world.” Discriminate and analyze, for only thus can you determine the path of Wisdom. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For more on the lessons of VIRGO see: http://druidcraft.us/astrology.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE?

There is a saying that “birds of a feather flock together”. I would like to take that one step further and say those that hang out together become like each other. In other words if you happen to be a relaxed and happy person, but find yourself having to deal with tense and anxious folks then you’re more likely to take on their qualities. However, when you do that you are no long the relaxed and happy person you once were.| < Prev | Next > |
