438. Things to Cherish

"Cherish your visions, your ideals, the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the lovliness that drapes your purest thoughts for most of them will grow delightful conditions all heavenly enviornment; of these, if you remain true to them, your world will at last be built." - James Allen. VOI CHE SAPETE (FROM THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO)

197. Growth and Beauty

Learn to be beauty always. Be ever expansive, always growing, intellectually emotionally and spiritually.

65. Your (and everyone's) Higher Needs

Always look to your higher needs and values. Keep uppermost in your mind your need and quest for :

* Truth
* Beauty
* Justice
* Love
* Peace
* Enlightenment
* Joy

This is a good list of values and it is in a good order. You could do worse than to start off with these. A very useful exercise when making plans for your life (About every 5 years or so) is to list your values and then prioritise them - that is to say for example ask do you value Love more than Beauty or Wealth ? If so put Love as your No. 1 priority. As you get older, these prioities may change a little but the values themselves will be part of who you are. It is good to aspire to these things but not in a selfish way. These are benefits we should wish for all mankind, not just ourselves. We attain them by practicing them and this makes them available for all.

32. Beauty

The world is a beautiful place. Make time every day to appreciate this.
