Thoughts to Enlighten and Empower the Mind

2001 Questions and Philosophical Thoughts to Inspire, Enlighten, and Empower Our World to Limitless Heights

Beschreibung

Thoughts to Enlighten and Empower the Mind is a compilation of two thousand and one questions and philosophical thoughts extracted from the authors' seminal work, Five Foundations of Human Development. These thoughts follow the same chronology of information that helps to promote fulfilling lives through human development from spiritual, moral, social, intellectual, and physical perspectives. The authors proffer that human beings possess the capacity to rise to a higher state of civilization when we allow our thoughts to permeate our minds with hope and optimism for the future of humanity. Gibbs and Grey support the premise put forward by many great writers who contend that our thoughts determine happiness and effectiveness in life. Our thoughts and our emotions have a great influence on our carnal impulses and desires. We nurture good and bad thoughts, and human effort alone is insufficient to properly manage them. Negative thoughts establish barriers to communications and harmonious living. Positive thoughts radiate harmony among individuals and nations. More importantly, those in positions of great power who lead humanity, must, by their thoughts, help to create a better world, or inadvertently plunge humanity into great chaos as has been recorded in six-thousand years of human history. Only a mind that is free of unhealthy thoughts transcends a life of fulfillment. Positive thoughts permeate our beings and open up new frontiers of positive leadership for the modern age. The global significance of this book is that it informs a more communal view of our world by virtue of the conditioning of our thoughts. It will help inform, enlighten, and empower the minds of leaders to embrace every field of endeavor, including engineering, science, religion, politics, the military, and the environment. This will be accomplished with the most vital, creative, and positive thoughts that rise to a high level of responsibility for the betterment of all humanity.

Autor

Errol and Marjorie Gibbs are avid readers, self-inspired researchers, and writers. They are Canadians citizens who reside in Milton, Ontario. Religious, scientific, educational, philosophical, and humanitarian pursuits highlight their work. Multigenerational family life, nurturing children, community, business, and corporate experience underpin their quest to inspire happiness in others through their seminal work "Discovering Your Optimum "Happiness Index" (OHI)." Marjorie and Errol have had the privilege of combined global travel on four continents such as Africa, Europe, North America, and Oceania in approximately twelve countries, twenty-four states, and about one hundred cities, towns, and villages over several decades. Global travel afforded the writers a "panoramic view" of the human landscape to observe how people in various parts of the world experience happiness and unhappiness, co-existing in a cultural mix of plenty (wealth) and scarcity (poverty). Their observation was the same in every culture -the need for love, peace, hope, happiness, and "Joy" resonated in people's lives. Marjorie and Errol live "Optimum Happy" lives. "Optimum Happiness" (OH) does not imply that they have great wealth, live in a mansion, drive exotic automobiles, or socialize with prominent figures in society. Their perspective on happiness is to reverence a higher moral authority; to extend love and loyalty to family, friends, and associates; and to exercise integrity in business as fundamental imperatives of happiness, success, and successful living. The writers do not make any claim of training in psychology, sociology, or any of the other social science disciplines. Nevertheless, they recognize that a "materially driven life" may boost ones' lifestyle, but they contend that materialism is not fundamentally intrinsic to happiness. Discovering Your Optimum "Happiness Index" (OHI) is their way to engage peoples, communities, and nations, to inform of the intrinsic benefits of "Optimum Happiness" (OH) to human survival as a viable species.
