Stop Resisting, Be Free & Peaceful !

The very act of resisting something or someone makes whatever you resist more solid. 

Why then, do we resist? Perhaps our resistance stems from the belief that we can and should control what we cannot control. 

Can we control people or life? If not, stop resisting. 

Flow with life and see how easy life is!

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Follow The Path Of Truth !

Where there is truth there is victory. 

As the saying goes, 'the boat of truth may rock but it will never sink.' When you are truthful you might temporarily experience dissatisfaction, but you will ultimately attain victory. When you are going through a time which is difficult for you, remind yourself that the truth within you will ultimately get you victory. This faith will make you face all situations with a cheerful face.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Bring Self-Respect To Be Humble & Achieve Positiveness !

True humility comes when you are in your self-respect. 

When you are full and in your self-respect, you will be able to remain humble in all situations. When there is no self-respect, any comments or criticism hurts your ego and you tend to lose your humility. When you find yourself getting affected by criticism, check whether you are sure of what you are doing. Increase your own confidence in whatever you do and you'll find yourself humble. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Act According To Your Positive Thoughts And Words ...

Attitude is essentially a blend of perceptions, thoughts and feelings about anyone or anything. It is influenced by memories, past experiences and beliefs.

Although we may not notice, our attitude sits at the heart of all that we say and do. It's our attitude that reflects back to us in our relationships and it's our attitude that can rub off onto others.

So, it makes obvious sense to hold a positive attitude at all times in all situations. Today, what will your attitude be?

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Guide Your Mind In The Right Direction !

Secondly, meditation makes it easier for me to oppose evil. It does this by allowing me to differentiate clearly between the actor and the action. Spirituality helps me understand that the original qualities of every soul are peace, love, happiness and so I have no hatred in my heart for anyone. This helps me become fearless and stand firm against wrongdoing. With a clean heart, a clear understanding of good and evil, and connection with the divine, I am much more likely to have the faith and courage with which to stand up for what is right. 

Thirdly, if the negative behaviour I am opposing activates negative tendencies within my own personality, the fight will soon wear me out and I'm unlikely to be victorious. Power absorbed from the Supreme in meditation helps me remain positive and above negative tendencies and hence face someone’s negative behavior and emerge victorious.

Enjoy Whatever Comes Your Way !

Situations arise where it may not be enough to tolerate or accommodate, but where I need power to face very unpleasant and perhaps threatening realities. What we are talking about here, in effect, is courage. Meditation helps enormously. 

First, the practice of the awareness of myself and others as eternal souls greatly reduces fear of death, an ever-present reality that we spend much time, money and mental and emotional energy trying to avoid. If soul-consciousness is firm enough, I'll have the absolute conviction that when someone dies, it's not that they are no more, just that they have moved further on their eternal journey. This faith makes it much easier to face the departure of someone close to me. It also removes much or all of the fear I might otherwise suffer about leaving my own body. I'll still value my life greatly - probably even more than before, because of having the burden of fear removed. But I won't let concern for the body stop me from facing what I must. 

To Be Continued....

Inner Truth Is Important For The Positivity In Life !

When you are truthful, you are loved and trusted by all. 

When you are truthful your words and actions will become equal. You will do what you say and say what you do. Because of this you will continue to receive love and regard from everyone. Just take up one thing that you have not been able to fulfill and today take up this thought that you will do it. Tell yourself that you have the power of truth within which makes your words and actions equal.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Generous And Win The Love And Respect Of All !

The one way to change others is to deal with them with love. 

When you have love for others, you will have good wishes for them. Your desire to change them will then be for their good and not for your own selfishness. Others will quickly respond to your unselfish love and you'll find them changing. Think of one person you want to bring about a change in. Before you think of changing that person let there be a lot of love for that person in your mind. Also make sure the change you want in the other person is for his own good and not for your own selfish reason. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Aware Of Your Inner Strength !!

We have to say, 'no' to some things to be able to say, 'yes' to opportunities. 

There are times we say 'yes' to others, because it's easier to say 'no' to ourselves than to say 'no' to others. By ignoring our own feelings, we're undermining our self esteem.

Today, when you say 'yes' or 'no', say it for the right reason.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Inspire The Best In Others !

To be committed towards one's own progress is to help others to move forward. 

The one who is committed towards his own self-progress, is free from criticizing others when he sees them make mistakes. Having realised what is wrong, such a person makes corrections immediately. He is able to realise his own mistake in a second and take the chance for self-improvement. This naturallly gives the ability to help others also to bring about a change for the better. Since I am committed to my own self-progress, I am able to become stronger and stronger with each passing situation. I find that I become a source of inspiration for those around, as I continue to learn from all that happens. I don't put people down for their mistakes, but am able to give them the help to be better.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Unshakeable Love And Faith In God Gives You Strength !

Your love for God will make you feel victorious in all situations. 

Your love for God will make you experience His companionship in everything you do. Where there is love there is never a moment of loneliness. Thus you will be able to move forward with courage in all the challenges that life brings. Think of one situation where you have found yourself failing. Now think that God is with you to help you in this situation. When you believe this, you will find that you'll get the courage to accept and face the situation. Then you can also work and bring about a change in the situation.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Stay Away from Excuses & Learn from your Mistakes !!

Your power of truth will enable you to learn from your mistakes. 

The power of truth within you will enable you to learn from all situations. When things go wrong you will be able to check yourself and improve instead of giving excuses to yourself and others. When you give excuses you will not be able to learn and progress. Take any situation that went wrong today. Check within yourself what your part was in the situation because of which things went wrong. Then correct yourself based on this understanding.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Love People Around & Feel Positivity Inside !

The one who is full of love is the one who is always happy. 

When you are constantly having love for everyone, you'll have no negativity. Your unselfish love will make you have only positive thoughts and you'll find yourself in constant happiness. Start your day with thinking of all the people you come into contact with. Then take a thought in your mind that you have love for all of them. This thought will help you throughout the day. You'll find yourself accepting others as they are and having good wishes for them.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Think Positively To Experience Progress In Life !...

When there's a crisis, there is also opportunity, and in order to see the opportunity we need courage and trust. 

Courage helps us to feel that there is benefit in every unfolding scene of life. 

Trust helps us to stay stable and calm in the face of crisis. 

Courage and trust gives us the assurance that everything will be fine. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Faith In Your Work !

You will be constantly successful when you have faith and intoxication. 

At the end of each day check if you are finding yourself enjoying everything that you are doing throughout the day. Check if you are having the intoxication of being successful in spite of the seeming failures. Each day start the day with the practice of being the successful one. Also continue to maintain this intoxication throughout the day. Then you'll find that you are happy with yourself and others will find you successful too. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Interesting Morning Statements !

I met money one day. 

I said, 'You are just a piece of paper.' 

Money smiled and said, 

'Of course I'm a piece of paper, 

but I haven't seen a dustbin yet, in my life' . 

~   Anonymous

Our life is shaped by our mind; 

we become what we think.

Joy follows a pure thought

like a shadow that never leaves.

"Progress is impossible without change;

and those who cannot change their minds 

cannot change anything."

A careless word may kindle strife, 

a cruel word may wreck a life, 

a timely word may level stress, 

a loving word may heal and bless.

Dream what you want to dream, 

go where you want to go, 

be what you want to be, 

because you have only one life and 

one chance to do all the things you want to do.

Look for the extraordinary in the ordinary !

Two workers were approached by a reporter. The reporter asked the first worker, “What are you doing?” His response was to complain that he was virtually a slave, an underpaid bricklayer who spent his days wasting his time, placing bricks on top of one another.

The reporter asked the second worker the same question. His response, however, was quite different. “I’m the luckiest person in the world,” he said. “I get to be a part of important and beautiful pieces of architecture. I help turn simple pieces of brick into exquisite masterpieces.”

They were both right.

The truth is, we see in life what we want to see. If you search for ugliness you’ll find plenty of it. If you want to find fault with other people, your service, or the world in general, you’ll certainly be able to do so. But the opposite is also true. If you look for the extraordinary in the ordinary, you can train yourself to see it. This bricklayer sees cathedrals within pieces of brick. The question is, can you?

Let Love Flow Around You !!

The one who loves is the one who gives. 

True love is free from expectations. When you discover the love within you, you can continue to give. Whether the other person gives or not, true love enables you to give unselfishly. Let today be for discovering and giving others the love within you. Make sure you do at least one act that shows your love towards anyone around you. Feel the love flowing from within to the ones around you. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Stop And Listen To The Silence Within You !

In the midst of a conversation, have you mentally switched off, shut down and gone home? Or are you busy competing for the other person's attention by going on and on and on.

Many of our conversations are not so much a dialogue, but two monologues happening at the same time.In fact, it's far more fulfilling to listen. To listen, we have to be available, not caught up in our own head or be sidetracked by our emotions.

Try not to interrupt. When someone says something, wait 3 seconds before replying to make sure that they have finished.

Make time to hear what another person has to say, to really listen and venture into a genuine conversation.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Create Love For A Task To Carry It Out Successfully !

Where there is love, the hardest task becomes easy to perform. 

If something is difficult, it means there is no love. Where there is love, even a task as difficult and big as a mountain becomes as easy and light as cotton. Love makes work easier and lighter. Today is the day to love your work. Whatever you are doing, remember that you love your work. Experiment with one thing that you have been finding it difficult to do with a reminder to yourself that you love it.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Keep Your Mind Stable And Experience Worthy Thoughts !

You will continue to progress when you finish carelessness. 

Check if you are satisfied with the progress you are making and see if you could do anything to improve it. Also check if your own carelessness is preventing you from moving forward quickly. Take a thought of an aim that you have to fulfill within a certain period of time. Each day strengthen remind yourself of it and tell yourself that you only have to work towards this aim, whether others are doing it or not. When you look at others you tend to become slack too. So finish carelessness and continue to move forward.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Positive To Handle Situations & Take Right Decisions !

Be seated on the seat of an observer and you'll be able to enjoy the games of the situations that come your way. 

When something goes wrong, check if you are able to discriminate and take the right decisions. The more you are caught up in the situation, the more difficult it gets to take the right decision. Each day practice looking at and appreciating the variety that life brings. Remind yourself that life would not be so interesting without this variety. Practice looking at all the situations in this way and you'll find yourself stable. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Bring Positive Awareness In Your Thoughts !

Become free from obstacles by finishing wasteful questions. 

When something negative happens, check what your thoughts are. Are you searching for the reason for the negative situation to occur in order to learn from it or are you just asking questions and complaining about your situation? Each day think of anything that has not happened right and make the practice of seeing what good could have come out of such a situation. In this way you'll not waste your own time or that of others since you don't ask why. You'll thereby free from obstacles.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Happy & Enjoy The Magic of Life !!

Happiness is the art of living, the purpose of our existence. 

Happiness is the true index of quality of life. Without happiness, life is dry and meaningless. With happiness, life immediately becomes fulfilling and wonderful. Happiness is an infectious feeling that immediately lifts the sagging spirits of people. Happy people keep themselves happy because they know the little ways to appreciate themselves and to see the humour and magic in each moment. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

     of the road'

Highly Motivational Thoughts !!

When you have a strong aim you automatically receive the cooperation from others. 

When you take up a task, check if you are able to receive the cooperation from others. If not, check the strength of your own aim. The stronger your aim, you will find others coming forward to help you fulfill your aim. Each morning remind yourself of the aim that you have to achieve. List out mentally why fulfilling that aim is important for you. This will further help in strengthening the aim.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. 

Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future.   

Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, 

whether it's at work or with your family. 

Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.

~   Earl Nightingale

Have The Determination To Bring Our Thoughts Into Practice !

Determination is a combination of single-mindedness and flexibility. 

When you are determined, you're sure of what you have to achieve and you're able to move in the right direction. And when an obstacle comes your way, you're able to take it in your stride; like a river you can forge your route towards the destination.

If we are stuck or trapped in our own thoughts we will not have control over them. When we observe them, we separate ourselves from them and we provide a space, and this is how we can control them and channel them in the direction we wish. In order to have control over something we must look at it from a certain distance, like an impartial observer. This practice helps us to realise the influences, both positive and negative, that there are in our life. 

Observing our thoughts (which we do in the process of meditation) is the first step in understanding and, in the last analysis, taking full responsibility for them. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
