Can you imagine how often someone with these rules would feel good? Examine your rules. Make sure they serve you!<br />Anthony Robbins<br /><br />735.

If not, make a change in one of these areas now.<br />Anthony Robbins<br /><br />751. "We tend to fall in love with the things that we think are true."<br />Dee W. Hock<br /><br />752.

This link between attitude and outcome is well supported by medical and scientific research. It does not matter which aspect of life you choose to examine, health, relationships, prosperity, a positive attitude is a key factor in success.<br /><br />Self-help and success strategies virtually always use 'positive thinking' techniques in one form or another. The use of positive affirmations is one of the most popular and widely known because they are simple to use and are effective.<br /><br />It may not come as a huge surprise to know that a large percentage of all the thoughts we have each day are negative. These negative thoughts are damaging not only to our ability to succeed but can also be extremely damaging to health. Using positive affirmations is a great way to start countering this negativity and start taking back some control of our thinking.<br /><br />Positive Affirmations are short positive statements that you can repeat regularly to yourself or leave around on cards where you will regularly see them. There is a bit of a knack to creating them; they must be positive, in the present tense and state something that you want. Keeping them brief makes them easier to remember and repeat!<br /><br />Positive affirmations challenge negative beliefs. When used correctly affirmations start to stem the flow of negative thoughts and the words that seek to validate those negative beliefs. Affirmations are more than just repeating words. It is a whole process of becoming aware of your thoughts and words in everyday life. The more you can consciously inject the spirit of your affirmations into your daily thoughts and words, the quicker they will work for you.<br /><br />Developing small but positive changes in your attitude can have a massive impact on your success. Put simply, if you can get your thinking right, the benefits will naturally follow. A positive mindset is very important when it comes to health and healing. It is a well-established fact that a positive attitude has a major impact on healing outcomes and negative beliefs. Many illnesses and conditions have been associated with negative emotions and beliefs.<br /><br />Romantic success, financial prosperity, virtually every aspect of life can be linked to our own beliefs and behaviors. The choices we make and the behaviors we have today are the things that determine our future. If you want your future to be better than your past you need to change the patterns that created that past and change them for ones that will deliver the future you desire. Positive affirmations and positive thinking techniques are the perfect way to start that journey.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594068663017332992.post-51501758734011771502011-06-20T04:50:00.000+07:002011-06-20T04:51:24.719+07:00Positive AffirmationsPositive Affirmations work. This page explains how and why positive affirmations can be used to manifest your needs and bring positive and permanent change to your life. You will also learn how to Create and supercharge your own affirmations.<br /><br />What are Affirmations?<br /><br />Every thought you think every word you say is an affirmation All of our self-talk or inner dialogue is a stream of affirmations. We are continually affirming subconsciously with our words and thoughts and this flow of affirmations is creating our life experience in every moment. Our beliefs are just learned thought patterns that we have developed since childhood, many of these work well for us, but others may now be working against us, they are dysfunctional and may be sabotaging us from achieving what we believe we want. Every affirmation we think or say is a reflection of our inner truth or beliefs. It is important to realize that many of these "inner truths" may not actually be true for us now or may be based on invalid or inappropriate impressions we constructed as children, which if examined as an adult can be exposed as inappropriate.<br /><br />Our subconscious uses the behaviour patterns we have learned to automatically respond and react to many everyday events in our life. This is essential to our survival, we need to be able to respond quickly to events around us which would be impossible if we had to re-examine every aspect of things every time something simple happens. Our learned responses and thought patterns enable us to automatically respond to circumstances quickly and easily. Problems arise however, if at an early stage some of the foundation beliefs on which many of the others are built were formed from a skewed perspective, maybe the strategy was appropriate for a perceived difficult circumstance, however often such beliefs are totally inappropriate for succeeding in the real world as adults.<br /><br />You can use "Positive Affirmations", which are usually short positive statements targeted at a specific subconscious set of beliefs, to challenge and undermine negative beliefs and to replace them with positive self-nurturing beliefs. It is a kind of "brainwashing" only you get to choose which negative beliefs to wash away. The way these statements are constructed is extremely important. Later I will show you how to construct you own affirmations. It is important to remember of course that everything we say and think is a positive affirmation, using positive affirmation statements forces us to keep focussed on our inner goals and reminds us to think consciously about our words and thoughts and to modify them to reflect our positive affirmation.<br /><br />Do affirmations work<br /><br />YES! Affirmations really work. You will be hard pushed to find any self help program anywhere that does not include affirmations, even the ones that appear to pooh-pooh affirmations include them under some slightly different guise. And the reason for this is, they work. The more determined you are to make your changes, the more you are prepared to accept change and let go of the past, the better they will work for you.<br /><br />Why affirmations work<br /><br />By choosing to think and say positive affirmations as true, the subconscious is forced into one of two reactions - avoidance or reappraisal. The bigger the issue the bigger the gap between the positive affirmation and the perceived inner truth and the more likely that one is going to experience resistance. This is where the subconscious finds it easier to stay with its perceived inner truth and avoid the challenge using any means at its disposal to avoid examining the issue. You will recognise this reaction by a strong negative feeling inside as you state the positive affirmations. Equally if your experience a sense of joy and well being, your mind is instinctively responding to something it believes to be true. When you get this emotion, you know your affirmations are working!<br /><br />Continually repeating affirmations with conviction and passion will chip away at even the strongest resistance. However there are a number of additional techniques you can use that will super-charge your affirmations and magnify their effectiveness many fold. I will outline these techniques for you later. Once the resistance is broken, your subconscious is able to re-examine the core belief and patterns you have been working on. The effect can be startling and things can change very quickly as the dysfunctional beliefs get identified and replaced by your own new inner truth. Depending on how deep into your consciousness these beliefs lay, every other learned pattern and belief that relied on the original belief as a premise, becomes unfounded. The subconscious has to re-examine them all, this can lead to a period of introspection. If you find yourself experiencing serious resistance or have identified an area of trauma in your life, I strongly urge you to seek professional support, the journey you are embarking on will release you from the past but having proper support around you as you go through the process will make it so much easier.<br /><br />Because affirmations actually reprogram your thought patterns, they change the way you think and feel about things, and because you have replaced dysfunctional beliefs with your own new positive beliefs, positive change comes easily and naturally. This will start to reflect in your external life, you will start to experience seismic changes for the better in many aspects of your life.<br /><br /><br /><br />How quickly do affirmations work<br /><br />From day one, there will be affirmations you love and enjoy saying, these affirmations are likely to be very effective for you and you are likely to start experience changes almost immediately. Others will feel very negative, almost like a big lie, this indicates resistance and these areas may take longer to impact. How quickly you can resolve an issue like this is like asking how long is a piece of string. It depends on the issue, how deeply the belief is held and how determined you are to bring about change in that area of your life, the latter being perhaps the most important of all. If you are truly ready and want to make changes, the quicker those changes will come for you. People have made cognitive changes in their beliefs almost instantaneously, once you are prepared to embrace and accept a change and you believe it to be right for you from your very heart, then that change will happen. So it is not really a question of time, more a question of how accepting of change you can be.<br /><br />Our free affirmation program uses affirmations extensively to target negative thought patterns, it runs for a minimum three months during which time if you have done everything we would definitely expect you to have started experiencing positive changes.<br /><br />However, you should be under no illusion that by embarking on this process you are starting a journey for your lifetime. As you see and experience the techniques working for yourself will be driven to explore your inner-self further and other techniques. As you make your changes in one aspect of your life, other issues will pop up that you may want to deal with. The joy is, you would now have the knowledge and skill to deal with these issues effectively.<br /><br />Will Affirmations help me?<br /><br />Yes. No matter what aspect of life you're dealing with or who you are, affirmations will not only make you feel better about yourself and your life. But if used correctly, they can manifest real change in your life. Changing the way you think, reprogramming your mind and removing the old negative beliefs that have been sabotaging you again and again throughout your life. They can enable you to achieve the life you've always wanted for yourself!<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><h1 style="color: rgb(51, 102, 153); font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size: 12pt; ">Why doesn't everyone use Affirmations?</h1><p>They do! It has been demonstrated that nearly 90% of our thoughts are negative, no wonder we find ourselves struggling. Each negative thought or word is a <b>negative</b> affirmation and these nasty little beasts can be even more powerful than positive affirmations because we often find them easier to accept. It is these negative thoughts that feed and validate our negative internal beliefs. Under this kind of negative bombardment most people simply do not have the strength to break free of their negative thoughts and become hopelessly locked into their own (usually false) negative beliefs.</p><p><b>Positive affirmations</b> are designed to challenge those negative beliefs and start to stem the flow of negative thoughts and words that seek to validate them. Affirmations are more than just repeating words. It is a whole process of becoming aware of your thoughts and words in everyday life, choosing to think and project happy positive thoughts. The more you can consciously inject the spirit of you affirmations into your daily thoughts and words, the quicker they will work for you.</p><a name="creating affirmations"></a><h1 style="color: rgb(51, 102, 153); font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size: 12pt; ">How to create your own affirmations</h1><p>Start by taking some time to think about areas in your life you would like to improve and how you might want your life to be. It is worth taking some time over this process. Write the most important ones down in a list.</p><p>Now look at each item on the list and write out a few positive statements for each.

If you sign up to the AffirmIt! program you will receive very specialised affirmations that are designed to tackle specific issues as you commence and progress through the process.

Some of the most important messages you have received have been from people looking you straight in the eye. By looking yourself in the eye as you state your affirmation you magnify the importance of the message to yourself.</p><h2 style="color: rgb(51, 102, 153); font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0px; ">Written Affirmations</h2><p>A great way of keeping your affirmation at the forefront of your mind is to write them down, leave notes or cards around so that you notice them throughout the day. The AffirmIt! program uses mobile technology to text powerful messages to you with the goal of keeping your mind focussed on your intention. Another idea is to write your affirmation down many times (10-20), this helps imprint it on your mind.</p><h2 style="color: rgb(51, 102, 153); font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0px; ">Say Affirmations with Passion</h2><p>Say your affirmations with passion, the higher your emotional state as you say them, the more effective they are.</p><h2 style="color: rgb(51, 102, 153); font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0px; ">Sing or Chant Affirmations</h2><p>One of the most effective ways to use affirmations is to sing them! The mind is much more accepting of affirmation messages when they are sung. If you have ever attended a Louise Hay "Heal your life Workshop", this technique is used extensively. Personally, I love them! If you want to listen to one <a href="http://www.vitalaffirmations.com/goto_prod.php?p=apfthcd1" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 51); text-decoration: none; ">click here</a>.</p><a name="subliminal affirmations"></a><h1 style="color: rgb(51, 102, 153); font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size: 12pt; ">Subliminal Affirmations</h1><p>There are a number of techniques that attempt to by-pass the conscious mind and its resistance by transmitting the affirmations to you subliminally. There are a number of CD's available that include subliminal affirmations, the trouble with this technology is that it often comes unsupported and people expect it to simply work without doing anything for themselves. There is however a very powerful technique known as an "affirmation bath". This is often used in workshops because it requires several people sitting around a person making positive statements about them. An Affirmation bath is a truly amazing experience, the multiple voices, coming from multiple directions, often simultaneously simply overwhelm the minds ability to resist what is being said and the positive affirmations slip straight through to the subconscious. It is normally impossible to experience this unless you can get a group of like minded people together or you attend a workshop. To enable you to experience this technique, we have included an "affirmation bath" on our affirmation CD, "<a href="http://www.vitalaffirmations.com/goto_prod.php?p=apfthcd2" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 51); text-decoration: none; ">Heartfelt - Affirmations to Release the Past</a>".</p><a name="example affirmations"></a><h1 style="color: rgb(51, 102, 153); font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size: 12pt; ">Example Affirmations</h1><a name="affirmations for health"></a><h2 style="color: rgb(51, 102, 153); font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0px; ">Affirmations for Health</h2><blockquote><ul><li>Every Cell in my body vibrates with energy and health</li><li>Loving myself heals my life.

The spontaneous gifts of Heaven are of high value; but the strength of perseverance gains the prize. </p> <p>4. The generations of men follow each other, like the waves in a swollen river. </p> <p>5. In the days. of affluence, always think of poverty: do not let want come upon you, and make you remember with regret <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3">the time of</span> plenty. (The Chinese have also the following, in complete opposition to the foregoing, maxim.) </p> <p>6. Let us get drunk to-day, while we have wine: the sorrows of to-morrow may be borne to-morrow. </p> <p>7. To correct an evil which already exists, is not so well as to foresee. and prevent it. </p> <p>8.Modesty is attended with profit: arrogance brings on destruction. </p> <p>9. The growth of the <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">mulberry tree</span>. Corresponds with its early bent. </p> <p>10. The same tree may produce sour and sweet fruit: the. same mother may have a virtuous and vicious progeny. </p> <p>11. It is equally criminal in the governor, and the governed, to violate the laws. </p> <p>12. As the scream of the eagle is heard when she has passed over; so a man's name remains after his death. </p> <p>13. Questions of right. and wrong (with reference to men's characters) are every day arising: if not listened to, they die away of themselves. </p> <p>14. Doubt and distraction are on earth: the brightness of truth in heaven. </p> <p>15. In learning, age and youth go for nothing: the best informed takes the precedence. </p> <p>16. Against open crimes, punishments can oppose a barrier: but secret offences it is difficult for the laws to reach. </p> <p>17. If there be no faith in our words, of what use are they? </p> <p>18. If there be a want of concord among members of the same family, other men will take advantage of it to injure them. </p> <p>19. The world's unfavourable views of conduct and character are but as the floating clouds, from which the brightest day is not free. </p> <p>20. Wine and good dinners make abundance of friends; but in the time of adversity, not one is to be found. </p> <div><script language="javascript"> <!-- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-6823038983424878"; google_ad_width = 250; google_ad_height = 250; google_ad_format = "250x250_as"; google_ad_channel = ""; google_ad_type = "text"; google_color_border = ["FFFFFF","FFFFFF","FFFFFF","FFFFFF"]; google_color_bg = ["FFFFFF","FFFFFF","FFFFFF","FFFFFF"]; google_color_link = ["006DA3","006DA3","006DA3","006DA3"]; google_color_url = ["333333","333333","333333","333333"]; google_color_text = ["333333","333333","333333","333333"]; google_color_text = "333333"; //--> </script> <script language="javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script><script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/expansion_embed.js"></script><script src="http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/test_domain.js"></script><script>google_protectAndRun("ads_core.google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render_ad);</script><!-- end of google ads -->21. Let every man sweep the snow from before his own doors, and not trouble himself about the frost on his neighbour's tiles. </div> <p>22. He who. can suppress a moment's anger, may prevent many days' sorrow. </p> <p>23. The human relations are five in number, but that of <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">husband and wife</span> is the first in rank: the great ceremonies (or rites) amount to three thousand, but that of marriage is the most important. </p> <p>24. Worldly fame and pleasure are destructive to the virtue of the mind; anxious thoughts and apprehensions are injurious to the health of the body. </p> <p>25. In a field of melons, do not pull up your shoe: under a. plum-tree, do not adjust your cap, (i. e. be very careful of your conduct under circumstances of suspicion.)• </p> <p>26. The man of worth is really great. without being proud; the mean. man is proud, without being really great. </p> <p>27. Time flies like an arrow:. days and months like a. weaver's shuttle. </p> <p>28. It is said in the Ye-king, that Of those men, whose talent is inconsiderable, while their station is eminent, and of those,.whose knowledge is small, while, their. schemes are large, --there are few who do not become miserable. </p> <p>29. When a man obtain a large sum, without having earned it, if it does not• make him very happy, it will certainly make him very unhappy. </p> <p>30. Though a man may be utterly stupid, he is very perspicacious while reprehending the bad actions of others; though he may be very intelligent, he is dull enough, while excusing his own faults. Do you only correct yourself on the same principle that you correct others, and excuse others on the same principle that you excuse yourself. </p> <p>31. The figure of men in ancient times resembled that of' wild beasts, but their hearts contained the most perfect virtue. The outward appearance of the present race of men is human, but their dispositions re utterly brutish. </p> <p>32. Do not anxiously expect what is. not yet come; do not vainly regret what is already past. </p> <p>33. Men's passions are like water. When water has once flowed over, it cannot easily be restored; .when the passions have once been. indulged, they cannot, easily be restrained. Water must be kept in by dykes, the passions must be regulated by the laws of propriety. </p> <p>34. Without ascending the. Mountain, we cannot admire the height of heaven; without descending into the valley, we cannot admire the depth of the earth; without listening to the maxims left by the ancient Kings; we cannot know the excellence of wisdom. </p> <p>35. In making a candle, we seek for light; in studying a book, we seek for reason: light, to illuminate a dark chamber; reason, to enlighten man's heart. </p> <p>36. By learning, the sons of the common people become public ministers; without learning, the sons of public ministers become mingled with the mass of the people. </p> <p>37. Though an affair may be easily accomplished, if it is not attended to, it will never be completed: though your son may be well-disposed, if he is not instructed, he will still remain ignorant. </p> <p>38. If you love your son, be liberal in punishment; if you hate your son, accustom him to dainties. </p> <p>39. Past events are as clear as a mirror; the future, as obscure as varnish. </p> <p>40. What exists in the morning, we cannot be certain of in the evening; what exists in the evening, we cannot calculate upon for the next morning. The fortunes of men are as variable as the winds and clouds of heaven. </p> <p>41. When you are happier than usual, you should be prepared against some great misfortune. Where joy-is extreme, it precedes grief. Having obtained the Imperial favour, you should think of disgrace; living in quiet, you should think of danger. When your glory is complete, your disgrace will be the greater; when your success is great, your ruin will be the deeper. </p> <p>42. In security, do not forget danger: in.times of public tranquillity, be prepared against anarchy. </p> <p>43. The fishes, though deep in the water, may be hooked; the birds, though high in the air, may be shot; but man's secret thoughts are out of our reach. The heavens may be measured. the earth may be Surveyed; the heart of man only is not to be known. </p> <p>44. Riches are what the man of worth considers lightly; death is what the mean man deems of importance. </p> <p>45. When the man of a naturally good propensity has much wealth, it injures his advancement in wisdom: when the worthless man has much wealth, it increases his faults. </p> <p>46. In enacting laws, rigour is indispensable; in executing them, mercy. </p> <p>47. Do not consider any vice as trivial, and therefore practice it: do not consider any virtue as unimportant, and therefore neglect it. </p> <p>48. Following virtue is like ascending a steep: following vice, like rushing down a precipice. </p> <p>49. All events are separately fated before they happen. Floating on the stream of life, it is in vain that we torment ourselves. Nothing proceeds from the machinations of men, but the whole of our lives is planned by destiny. </p> <p>50. A vicious wife, and. an untoward Son, no laws can govern. </p> <p>51. He who tells me of my faults, is my instructor: he who tells me .of my virtues does me harm. </p> <p>52. Let your words be few, and your companions select: thus you will escape remorse and repentance; thus you will avoid sorrow and .shame. </p> <p>53. If a man's wishes be few, his health will be flourishing: if he has many anxious thoughts, his constitution will decay. </p> <p>54.Honours come by diligence: riches spring from economy. </p> <p>55. The mild and gentle must ultimately profit themselves: the violent and fierce must bring down misfortune. </p> <p>56. If you wish to know what most engages a man's thoughts, you have only to listen to his conversation. </p> <p>57. In our actions, we should <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD7">accord</span> with the will of heaven: in our words, we should consult the feelings of men. </p> <p>58. If a man be not enlightened within, what lamp shall he light? if his intentions be notupright, what prayers shall he repeat? </p> <p>59. Man perishes in the pursuit of wealth; as the bird meets with destruction in search of its food. </p> <p>60. Knowing what is right without practicing it, denotes a want of proper resolution.</p> <p> 61. There are plenty of men in the world, but very few heroes. </p> <p>62. Poverty and ruin must in the end be proportioned to a man's wickedness and craft; for these are qualities which heaven will not suffer to prevail. Were riches and honours the proper results of crafty villainy, the better part of the world must fatten on the winds.</p> <p> 63. The best cure for drunkenness is, whilst sober, to observe a drunken man. </p> <p>64. The opening flower blooms alike in all places: the moon sheds an equal radiance on every mountain and every- river. Evil exists only in the heart of man; all I other things shew the benevolence of heaven towards the human race. </p> <p>65. Would you know the character of the Prince, examine his ministers; would you understand the disposition of any men, look at his companions; would you know that of a father, observe his son. </p> <p>66. A man is as ignorant of his own failings; as the ox is unconscious of his great strength. </p> <p>67. A man, by the cultivation of virtue, consults his own interest: .his stores of wisdom and reflexion are every day filling up. </p> <p>68. Confucius says," The capacity for knowledge, of the inferior man, is small, and easily filled up: the intelligence of the superior man is deep, and not easily satisfied." </p> <p>69. Though the ,screen be torn, its frame is still preserved: though the good man be plunged in want, his virtue still remains to him. </p> <p>70. Without the wisdom of the learned, the clown could not be governed; without the. labour of the clown, the learned could ot be fed. </p> <p>71. The cure of ignorance is study,--as meat is that of hunger </p> <p>72. Though the white gem be cast into the dirt, its purity cannot be (lastingly) sullied: though the good man live. in a vile place, his heart cannot be depraved. As the fir and the cypress withstand the rigours of the winter, so resplendent wisdom is safe in situations of difficulty and danger. </p> <p>73. It is not easy to stop the fire, when the water is at a distance: friends at band, are better than relations afar off. </p> <p>74. If a man wish to attain to the excellence of superior beings, let him first cultivate the virtues of humanity; for if not perfect in human virtue, how shall he reach immortal perfection? </p> <p>75. Man is born without .knowledge, and when he has obtained it, very soon becomes old: when his experience is ripe, death suddenly seizes him. </p> <p>76. There are three great maxims to be observed by those who hold public situations; voz. to be uprigbt, -to be circumspect, to be diligent. Those who know these three rules, know that by which they will ensure their own safety in office. </p> <p>77. A man's prosperous, or declining condition, may be gathered from the proportion of his waking to his sleeping hours. </p> <p>78. Unsullied poverty is always happy, while impure wealth brings with it many sorrows. </p> <p>79. He who receives a benefit, and is not ungrateful,-as a son, will be dutiful, --as a minister, will be faithful. </p> <p>80. The fame of men's good actions seldom goes beyond their own doors; but their evil deeds are carried to a thousand miles distance. </p> <p>81. The sincerity of him, who assents to every thing, must be small; and .he who praises you inordinately to your face, must be altogether false. </p> <p>82. Petty distinctions are injurious to rectitude; quibbling words violate right reason. </p> <p>83. 'hough powerful medicines be nauseous to the taste, they are good for the disease: though candid advice be unpleasant to the ear, it is profitable for the conduct. </p> <p>84. To shew compassion towards the people, by remitting the severity of the taxes, is the virtue of the prince; and to offer up their possessions, sinking their private views in regard for the public, is the duty ofthe people. </p> <p>85. Though the life of man be short of a hundred years, he gives himself as much pain and anxiety as if he were to live a thousand. </p> <p>86. The advantages of wise institutions can be sought for, only in an inflexible observance of them. </p> <p>87. If a man does not receive guest at home, he will meet with very few hosts abroad.</p> <p> 88. Where views and dispositions agree, the most distant will unite in riendship: where they disagree, relations themselves will soon be at enmity. </p> <p>89. Without a clear mirror, a woman cannot know the state of her own face: without a true friend, a men cannot discern the errors of his own actions. </p> <p>90. The evidence of others is not comparable to personal experience: nor is “I heard" so good as " I saw".</p> <p> 91. The three greatest misfortunes in life are, in youth to bury one's father, -at the middle age to lose one's wife,-and, being old, to have no son. </p> <p>92. A virtuous woman is a source of honour to her husband: a vicious one causes him disgrace. </p> <p>93. It being asked, "Supposing a widowed woman to be very poor and destitute, might she in such a case take a second husband ?"-It was answered, " This question arises merely from the fear of cold and hunger: but to be starved to death, is a very small matter, compared with the loss of her respectability." </p> <p>94. Those who cause divisions, in order to injure other people, are in fact preparing pitfalls for their own ruin. </p> <p>95. Even the carriers of burthens may, by honesty and diligence, obtain a sufficiency. The Proverb says, " Every blade of grass has its share of the dews of Heaven:" and "Though the birds of the forest have no garners; the wide world is all before them." </p> <p>96. Wisdom, and Virtue, and benevolence, and Rectitude, without Good-breeding, are imperfect, </p> <p>97. He who wishes to know the road through the mountains, must ask those who have already trodden it. (i. e. we must look for instruction to the experienced.) </p> <p>98. Rich men look forward to the years that are to come; but the poor man has time to think only of what is immediately before him. </p> <p>99. It is better to believe that a man does possess good qualities, than to assert that he does not. </p> <p>100. The mischiefs of fire, or water, or robbers, extend only to the body; but those of pernicious doctrines, to the mind. </p> <p>101. The original tendency of man's heart is to do right: and if a due caution be observed, it will not of itself go wrong. </p> <p>102. As it is impossible to please men in all things, our only care should be to satisfy our own consciences. </p> <p>103. He who at once knows himself, and knows others, will triumph as often as he contends. </p> <p>104. Though brothers are very near relations, the difference of fortune widely separates them. </p> <p>105. Eat your three meals in the day, and look forward to sleeping at night. </p> <p>106. A man's countenance is a sufficient index of his prosperity or adversity, without asking him any questions. </p> <p>107. Adversity is necessary to the developement of men's virtues. </p> <p>108. It is too late to pull the rein when the horse has gained the brink of the precipice: the time for stopping the leak is passed, when the vessel is in the midst of the river.</p><br /><a href="http://www.asiaing.com/108-chinese-proverbs.html"></a></td></tr></tbody></table>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594068663017332992.post-59709639529767331812011-06-08T13:57:00.000+07:002011-06-08T13:58:08.323+07:00Wisdom Quotes on How Your Thoughts Create Your Reality (Creating Consciously)Act is the blossom of thought, and joy and suffering are its fruits.<span class="quotesauthor"><br />James Allen </span><br /><p style="text-align: left;" class="quotes1"> Cut not the wings of your dreams, for they are the heartbeat and the freedom of your soul.<br /> <br /> You take your life in your own hands, and what happens?

You see, there’s affirmations, and then there’s positive thinking affirmations. What’s the difference? Read and find out …<br /><br />Form Versus Function<br /><br />Turns out, there’s a misunderstanding about the function of affirmations, and this needs to be cleared up before you can get a grasp on the specific nature of positive thinking affirmations.<br /><br />Affirmations, in and of themselves, aren’t supposed to be used for shifting or lifting your mood. Nope, not at all. Affirmations are only effective, and are meant to be used, to super-charge your positive thoughts and emotions toward quicker manifestation.<br /><br />Think about it. If you’re stressed, worried or pissed off about something, doesn’t saying an affirmation right then just piss you off?
