Quotation: “Many are deeply learned in the various disciplines of the arts and sciences. Yet they continue to remain profoundly ignorant about themselves. They are inquisitive about the affairs of other men, and yet they remain void of thought or care about themselves.” –Bernard of Clairvaux
Motivation Thought: Have you ever noticed that many people treat themselves worse than they would treat a stray dog? They continually inflict pain on themselves. Why?
The most important piece of machinery you will ever operate is your own mind. Yet many people are uneducated about how to operate their necktop computer — their mind. They follow random thoughts, embrace random feelings, and engage in random behaviors — creating great personal pain, while letting their powerful minds passively obey irrational and self-destructive whims.
To have a great resource and not know how to use it is a terrible waste. Your mind can tremendously improve the quality of your life, if you learn how to use its self-improvement qualities.
So where do you get this knowledge? Not in our schools or colleges. You must seek it out yourself. You can find a tremendous amout of information on how to operate your mind in these resources: 1) positive thinking and self-help books and tapes; 2) the New Testament & the books of Proverbs and Psalms; and 3) the writings of Orthodox and Catholic saints. Only 5 minutes a day in each of these three resources will radically improve your life. Just ask Bernard of Clairvaux!
