Every New Year brings with it new hope, a new ambition, a new vision for another achievement in life.
Perhaps it the curiosity of what the future holds in store for us that becomes the inspiration for new resolution each year.
But what is it that makes one person more successful than another in achieving their goal?
STRONG desire (for wholesome things) gives birth to a firm resolution to act for its fulfilment.
Manu (ancient Indian philosopher)
it is this strong desire that provides the energy to sustain effort and rekindle willpower each time you falter. One of the strongest desires of man is to discover his own origins: Who am I? So, let us make our New Year's resolution today: I shall endeavour to know myself.
YOU and I possess within ourselves, at every moment of our lives, under all circumstances, the power to transform the quality of our lives.
Werner Erhard we believe in this omnipotent source of strength within ourselves, we can succeed in building a healthy society and teach our children to build a happy future for themselves. Ever since the birth of civilisation, man has recognised the essential need to protect his life, wealth and self respect.
WHAT is the use of living if it be not to make this world a better place for those who live in after we are gone?
Winston Churchill We learn to love and respect others when we love ourselves with a self esteem that allows a positive attitude to life. Self esteem stems from a deep sense of morality in our actions. Even the greatest scientists of our time, who changed the history of man, valued morality as the cornerstone of civilisation.
THE most important human endeavour is the striving for morality in our actions. Our inner balance and even our very existence depend on it. Only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to life.
Albert Einstein Words like love, peace and respect seem to have an enchanting mystique about them one yearns for these qualities. When we experience these in our lives, the joy is so powerfully appealing that we want to experience it again and again. This then becomes our sense of purpose in life and a foundation for our personal endeavours.
Everything we do revolves around the achievement of peace, love and respect, even in the excitement of gaining wealth or status.
WORK like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, dance like no one watching you and sing like no one is listening . . . and you will make your dreams come true in 2002.
