The affirmations, poems, prayers and passages contained in Gifts of Wisdom have been specifically chosen for their enlightening honesty.

Some are inspiring, some are thought provoking, some are challenging but all share a message of astute wisdom. They have been organized under particular headings. Each heading names a quality or relationship that many of us aspire to improving. They follow each other logically when they are based on the subsequent assumptions:

Our ATTITUDES determine the person that we are and affect the quality of our life.

When we strive to maintain a positive attitude we develop SELF BELIEF and the view that we can create changes in our lives.

We begin to focus on all that we have rather than what we don’t have and develop a sense of GRATITUDE.

We tend to feel more content with life and experience a deeper sense of HAPPINESS.

In FEELING GOOD about ourselves and our realities we become more appreciative of our life, which in turn reflects in our relationships with FAMILY and FRIENDS.

We come to respect the importance of time, about making the most of each day and how we use it.

Give yourself the time to recognize the message of the quotes and find those which encourage and speak to you in your endeavor to be authentic. Take up one or all of the suggestions made at the end of each section and try to include them in your day.
