When we combine the power of self-belief with pure motives there is very little we cannot achieve. Using this power wisely to bring benefit to everyone in our lives, we can rest assured that everything we need will steadily flow our way.
If you're never scared or embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take any chances.

It is very easy to create unity and make others a part of unity - if we can only pay special attention to one aspect - accumulate the power of truth. The power of truth alone can destroy the number one enemy of unity - ego. With ego out of the way, it is easy to create an atmosphere of harmony. The greatness of truth is the ability to come together with love, and accept each other's different ideas with love.

When I recognize the value of my own time there is a natural regard for the time of others. Arriving on time for an engagement is a simple way of demonstrating respect. A little attention reduces tension and life flows with the rhythm of each day.

If our mind is still enough, we can see the deeper meaning behind each situation. No matter how bad a problem may seem on the surface, if we remain positive eventually we will see how everything has worked out for the best.

Worrying about how everything will get done or whether we are capable of doing it, limits our ability to respond to challenges considerably. The less we think about doing something and the faster we just get on with it, the fewer problems we cause ourselves. Good planning is always helpful, but time spent fretting and procrastinating is a major drain on our energy. The more willing we are to respond positively to opportunities, the more our capacity will grow.

When we learn to respect ourselves, other people will respect us. How can we develop respect for ourselves? By keeping our mind positive and encouraging ourselves to grow and change for the better. Demanding respect because of our position or background is simply arrogance. On the other hand, listening with humility and valuing other people's advice naturally ears us respect. We get back exactly what we give out.

Humility and arrogance are enemies. Where one exists the other cannot exist. Arrogance usually begins from external things, but ends up deep inside the soul, penetrating everything, destroying it all and giving rise to anger and greed.
