Thought for the Day 5/12/2008

To think bad thoughts is really the easiest thing in the world.
If you leave your mind to itself it will spiral down into ever increasing unhappiness.
To think good thoughts, however, requires effort.
This is one of the things that discipline - training - is about.
-- James Clavell, in his novel "Shogun"

He who neglects discipline despises himself.
Proverbs 15:32

All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful;
yet to those who have been trained by it,
afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.
Hebrews 12:11
