| from Ernest Holmes |
|
“What we demonstrate today, tomorrow and the next day, is not as important as the TENDENCY WHICH OUR THOUGHT IS TAKING . . . the dominant attitude of our mind. If every day things are a little better, a little happier, a little more harmonious, a little more health-giving and joyous; if each day we are expressing more life, we are going in the right direction.”
—The Science of Mind (revised) – p. 306, ¶3
