“A love of classical music is only partially a natural response to hearing the works performed, it also must come about by a decision to listen carefully, to pay close attention, a decision inevitably motivated by the cultural and social prestige of the art.” ArtSocialNaturalDecisionPayAttentionMusic IsResponseHearingMotivatedClassical MusicPrestigeClassic Music Book:Piano Notes: The World of the Pianist Source: Piano Notes: The World of the Pianist
“Vibrations never lie. A person could be saying one thing and yet, thinking another. Get to the point where you pay closer attention to the vibrations you are receiving rather than the words you are hearing. Intuition is one of the most valuable mental tools you possess. Begin to consciously use it. Your rewards will be worth the effort.” ThinkingPersonsUseLyingEffortPayAttentionOne ThingToolsRewardsValuableHearingIntuitionReceivingVibrationsNever Lie Author:Bob Proctor

“Our ability to fulfill any assignment is greatly enhanced when we understand the importance of the temple and pay close attention to all that is said and done there. The temple is for redeeming not only the dead but the living as well. All are alive in God, and He is no respecter of persons. Blessings always come from hearing and obeying His word, and His word is never more clear than in the temple.” WellsPersonsSaidDoneAbilityPayAttentionClearAliveBlessingImportanceHearingTemplesAssignmentsObeyingRedeemingSaid And Done Author:John H.

“It is a great tragedy when those who are afflicted with adversity or a source of hopelessness turn their backs on prayer. To their peril, they ignore that spiritual lifeline just at the time when their attention to it most needs to be intensified.

They give up the prospect of gaining the very hope and comfort for which their hearts yearn.” NeedsGivingHeartInspirationSpiritualTurnsVoicePrayerAttentionLordCuttingSourceComfortGiving UpTragedyAdversityHearingRevelationsSpiritual LifeHopelessnessPerilGreat TragedyLifelines Author:David S.
