An Inner Power Needed to Make Accurate Decisions Is the Power to Tolerate - Tolerance Quotes

An inner power needed to make accurate decisions is the power to tolerate. Tolerance is not about having to put up with or endure. It's about respect for difference. It is about being able to appreciate diversity, the beauty in that diversity and difference. We need confidence to allow others to do what they are doing. Rigidity is a sign of lack of self confidence and self respect. It is better to have peace with someone than to have 100 percent perfection and tension. The quality of interaction comes from our ability to stop (that is not to be affected or influenced by what the other is doing). When I learn to stop, then I become more perceptive of the situation and I am able to make the right decision.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Quit 'Spinning Your Wheels' 

Going To Bed Feeling Guilty You Wasted Your Day, 

And Seeing More And More Stuff Pile Up In Your Life

Determination Enables Us to Overcome Our Weaknesses

Determination enables us to overcome our weaknesses. When we recognize any weakness of ours, we want to make effort to remove it. But usually we work on it for a few days with great attention. After some time, we find ourselves losing interest and the weakness gets stronger taking hold of us once again. We find ourselves exactly where we had started having no further enthusiasm to work on ourselves. In order to overcome any weakness of ours, we need to have a strong aim in our mind to remove it. With this comes the determination to work on it without losing hope. Even if we find ourselves becoming slack, we need to remind ourselves that we don't want that particular weakness in our life. Then we will be able to work at removing the weakness fully.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu
