“Daisy was a consciously happy young woman without any of the usual endowments that make for conscious happiness, money apart. She was not pretty, she was not clever, she had no friends, no talents, nor even an imagination to make her think she was happy when she was really miserable. As she was never miserable, she had no need of an imagination.” ThinkingNeedsYoungImaginationTalentConsciousCleverMiserableUsualYoung WomenDaisiesNo FriendsEndowmentNot Pretty Author:Laura Riding
“There is and always has been for me a peculiar need to write. This is very different from wanting to be a writer. To be a writer always seemed something so far removed from my talents and abilities and imaginings that it didn't afflict me at all as a notion when I was young. But I was always conscious that I wanted to write.” NeedsWritingHas BeensDifferentWantedYoungAbilityTalentConsciousNotionPeculiarTalents And Abilities Author:Patricia Wentworth
“Men are apt to mistake, or at least to seem to mistake, their own talents, in hopes, perhaps, of misleading others to allow them that which they are conscious they do not possess. Thus lord Hardwicke valued himself more upon being a great minister of state, which he certainly was not, than upon being a great magistrate, which he certainly was.” MenStatesSeemsMistakeLordTalentPrideConsciousReputationMinistersMisleadMagistrates Author:Lord Chesterfield
“Nature seems to have treasured up the depth of our mind talents and abilities that we are not aware of; it is the privilege of the passions alone to bring them to light, and to direct us sometimes to surer and more excellent aims than conscious effort could.” MindSometimesLightSeemsPassionAbilityEffortTalentConsciousDirectAimDepthPrivilegeExcellentTreasuredTalents And Abilities Author:Francois Alexandre Frederic, duc de la Rochefoucauld-Liancourt

“To have conscious communication with the angels - we all are continuously and unconsciously connecting with our angels, whether we know it or not - you would start in a place you feel comfortable, all by yourself, so you don't feel self-conscious. Then, just think of something you would like help with. For example, say, "Angels, I want a wonderful new job that exercises all my talents and everything I've learned - so I will wake up on Monday mornings and say 'Yippee!' - and that comfortably pays all my bills, plus some." You ask, and then the next step is to let go.” ThinkingHelpingMorningWonderfulTalentCommunicationExerciseLetting GoConsciousAngelWake UpMondayNew JobMonday Morning Author:Doreen Virtue
