Do Things At Right Time !

Knowing the value of time, we can create extra moments by not wasting our precious time. We need not throw away our time in trivial, wasteful thoughts that distract and divert us or squander our time in careless words that cause sorrow or harmful actions that - as time turns around - return to cause us regret and demand recompense. We can make a great saving by bringing all the worries and waste of time gone by to a complete finish, by putting a full stop. We need not make ourselves any more promises of action tomorrow, But instead - do it now. For if not now, then never.

Begin Trust Building At Home !

In any relationship trust is the first thing to leave and the last to return. And if you recognize that the most important relationship is with yourself, then perhaps it's time to start some trust building close to home. Make and keep a promise or a commitment to yourself, however small - in fact, start very small! Make one and keep one today, and then notice the surge of inner power as a result. See how much more you like yourself as a result. Trust is being built.

Awareness Of Time !

To keep a constant awareness of the present moment is to befriend time, to be ever-ready for anything the next moment may bring. Time does not wait for us, so we need to be alert and keep pace with it. In silence and stillness we can step out of time, observe with detachment what has passed, what is happening and what is to come In that moment of stillness when time is still, we can connect the consciousness of the soul with the Supreme Soul. We experience the deep satisfaction and bliss of timelessness, a moment of connection beyond time. A taste of eternity. And with this awareness, we return and step back into time and into the story to play our own part.

Blessings Are A Boon !

'Blessings are not valued until they are gone.' So much is overlooked and so much of our actions are automatic that it is as if nothing special ever happens. Nothing stays the same. The situations we find ourselves in today can change in the twinkling of an eye and the freedom and amenities we took for granted can disappear. We need to stop and count on blessings and see how fortunate we really are.

Precious Time !

To become masters of time we may learn lessons of how to appreciate the preciousness of time. As with any valuable commodity we can practice how to save and spend it wisely. We need to look straight into the mirror of our hearts, to see clearly the purity of our thoughts and actions. Time to ask ourselves, if time were to end now - is my account with all settled? Have I developed peace with myself? We need to spend all time with God, to turn our minds constantly to the remembrance of God, so that we spend each moment in a worth while way.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu
