Thought for the Week

A good thing to always remember is never to be concerned about what anyone else thinks about you.

You are the only one that you have to please. So long as you are in tune with The Great Spirit and follow his leading and live your life in such a manner that would please him, then don’t suffer fools who would have any opinion about you. Remember also that you are unique in the Universe.

You are the only you in all of creation and are special to The Great Spirit. He loves you with a love that is unique and special just for you. You are unique, to him it is as if you were his only begotten child.

If you suddenly didn’t exist, there would be an emptiness in the Universe that nothing could fill. So always think of yourself as a special child of The Great Spirit and stand tall and walk proud.
