IDEA

Death can never kill an idea. Ideas are more powerful than death. Everything begins as an idea. History has proven that ideas cannot be destroyed. In fact, attempts to destroy ideas seem to serve only to make them multiply - because ideas incubate in places no weapons can reach: the mind. Ideas can be transferred and live on for generations.

That is why ideologies live on long after their makers pass on. Imperialism, communism, socialism, democracy, dictatorship -- all of them -- are ideas that can't be destroyed, even though their originators have died.

Thoughts control the world and we become our thoughts. This is the premise on which King Solomon, 3,000 years ago, said: "As [a man] thinks in his heart, so is he."

You will only change when your philosophy changes, and your philosophy will only change when your ideas change, and your ideas will only change when your heart changes.

And be blessed.
