Thought of the Day - Conscious

Thought of the Day

We all know that if we don't eat for a while we will feel bad. As with food, so with sleep. But generally, we gain active pleasure from eating whereas sleeping is not necessarily an activity we 'enjoy'. We like the benefit gained. The experience itself we find hard to relate to, not least because when we are asleep, we are not quite so aware of what's going on. Keep that thought in mind. Sometimes very valuable things happen in our lives but we are not fully conscious of what's actually going on. Trust it anyway.

Thought Of The Day - Somebody Else

What would we do if we were somebody else? Where would we go? How would we behave? We cannot possibly answer this question. We have no idea. We can only be ourselves. Why, then, do we sometimes feel inclined to emulate the examples of others? Or even to assume that their ideas and actions are worth more than our own? Without becoming arrogant, and whilst remembering that it is important to listen and be sensitive, it is imperative to trust our own judgement.
