Tolerance Helps To Take Right Decisions !

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 am able to do make the right decision.

Great Thoughts On Simplicity !

When there is simplicity within, the mind is calm and quiet. Simplicity enables us to see the sequence of events around us. Each scene has a meaning connected to the previous and the next one. Simplicity and acceptance help us to play our part to the best of our ability. Whenever we find ourselves questioning anyone's part or any situation, let us just remember that everyone is right according to his part and every scene according to the play of events. This thought enables me to keep my mind free from complications. So we are able to be our best in whatever we do.

Highly Intelligent Thought !

We can retain our positivity by working to remove worry and sorrow from our heart and mind. It helps to recognize that negative feelings are triggered by dependency on one or another physical aspect of existence; the body, relationships, wealth, or circumstances in the world around us. If any one of these is in a state of upheaval, we are liable to become troubled. But it is our dependency on these things, not the upheaval in itself, which causes deep distress. If we become free inside, worry and sorrow will finish.

Popular Positive Messages !

It is said that the mind can be your best friend or your worst enemy. At every moment we have the opportunity to choose our company; thoughts which bring oxygen to the spirit or those which bring pain.   If I am loyal to myself, I will continually strive to go back to my inner core of positivity. I will be patient and loving, and increasingly my mind will reside in this positive inner truth. When I am able to be loving and loyal to myself, I can then help others in this same unconditional manner.

Get Inspired By Useful Thoughts !

The bondage of the thoughts of the mind do not allow you to experience internal happiness. To be tied in the bondage of waste thoughts, jealousy and thoughts of carelessness and laziness are the bondages of   the mind. Therefore become free from this subtle bondage.

Have A Heart Full Of Positive Thoughts And Pure Feelings !

A well-nourished heart is automatically giving and full of grace. We can nourish our hearts with the energy of positive thoughts and pure feelings. When we realize we are eternal souls, beings of consciousness rather than Matter, and that our original nature is benevolent and wise, the heart grows full. When we remember, with love, that we are the offspring of an eternal Parent, a source of eternal truth, the heart overflows. This is the greatest gift we can offer to each other and the world in the year ahead.

Silence Is The Place Where Peace Reigns !

In the ocean of silence you may discover your eternal treasures of peace, love and happiness. In silence, you can let bad feelings and past sorrows dissolve. Silence calms your heart. It is a balm that heals the wounds of the soul. It strengthens the spirit and takes you to a world without sound where peace reigns.

Creativity Helps To Lead A Happy Life !

Creativity is to discover new thoughts, new ideas that might never have been part of me before. It is seeing something in a new way, finding a different way to get something done or to solve a problem. I can bring creativity in my life when I use knowledge and training to develop my gifts, when I have the discipline to practice and think of new ways to make things work better.

Intelligent Positive Sentences !

Too often we focus on the 'enemy' rather than understanding the underlying causes of conflict. Our old beliefs and thought patterns can be both a block and a limitation. If we as individuals accept personal responsibility and recognize that the source of conflict is internal rather than 'the other' - then the possibility of resolving conflict comes back into our hands. This is a great relief and very empowering.

Think About Everlasting Happiness !

It is true that there is much suffering in the world. But do we need to worry about it? If we focus on the negative, that drains us of the strength to help. Goodness and truth are also at work in our world, as well as darker forces. When I switch on my awareness of positive qualities common to humanity, it is like bringing light into the darkness. The past stops haunting me and I stop worrying about the future. I see more clearly what I need to do now, for lasting happiness and health.

Internal Simplicity Is Very Important !

When there is internal simplicity, we are able to give our best to everything we do. Our thoughts, words and actions are filled with power. We become a source of inspiration to those around us and they take something from us for their own benefit. Let me have one simple thought for myself, 'whatever I do, people are going to do the same. So with the help of this thought we can bring elevatedness in our actions and words too. We then understand that like an actor on stage we need to have natural attention on what we speak and what we do.

Experience the Feelings of Peace !

Why do you like sunsets so much? Because they take you beyond your physical dimension. You experience peace and silence. You sense that time stops, and you understand what eternity means. It awakens your dormant spirituality. Whenever you have the chance, sit in front of a sunset and relax. Do not analyze. Only watch and observe and let profound feelings of peace emerge.

The True Essence Of Life !

Knowing the self and knowing God brings light into the darkness, and brings love back into our lives whereby we can reach out to others. The world will change when we are able to share this Godly light and this endless love.   When I know myself I can really meet others. My vision will not be disturbed by our differences but I will recognise the same essence in others.

Unshakeable Love And Faith In God Gives You Strength !

Faith means that there isn't the slightest form of doubt in any situation or at times of obstacles. Situations have to change and they will continue to change. The supports that your faith has now will be removed, and even after that your foundation has to be strong. If your foundation is not strong, then supports are necessary. Therefore you need to maintain your peaceful, lovable state and your love and faith for God has to remain unshakeable.

Conversation With God As A Personal Experience !

Whether you believe in God or not is not important. The main thing is to keep an open mind, and be willing to start the conversation. The experience of so many people is that when they engage in a mental conversation, whether it's with a question or simply sharing what is in their heart, they get a reply. This is God as a personal experience, not just a voice in your head. Not your higher self. But the presence of the Source in your life. God is not a concept, or a belief. You cannot have a conversation with a concept. You cannot have a meaningful relationship with a belief. Worth a try?

Enthusiasm Is The Spirit Of Life !

Without enthusiasm life becomes a dry and tasteless experience. Anyone can become enthusiastic for a little while but to keep enthusiasm steadily flowing through our life is a great art. The secret is remarkably simple; live in a state of appreciation; appreciate the special qualities within everyone; appreciate the wonder of nature and give thanks to the cycle of life and everyone's contribution to it. Enthusiasm is infectious, especially when it is based on an appreciation of, and love for life itself.

Meditation Brings Positive Thoughts To Mind !

Meditation simply means the management of your thoughts. It is to have the ability to think of what you want and when you want, without interference from other thoughts. Meditation is to develop the ability to concentrate on a particular subject without being attracted and influenced by the five senses, the five vices and the five elements.

Get Inspired By God’s Teachings !

In Child Psychology, there is a concept called 'identity crisis' often associated with teenagers; as they move into adulthood they sometimes become perplexed with life: what are they to do in the future, are they are mere images or extensions of their parents and family, what is their identity as a human being etc.   If they do 'find themselves' they carve their own niche, and are able to achieve their goals.  If not, they go on with life nonetheless but with a constant inner search.   The biggest gift God gives us is to know and love ourselves honestly.  That knowledge that we are spirits, souls, and practice of soul-consciousness outweighs any other spiritual teaching in the world.

Satisfaction Is The Utmost Happiness!

Many believe that happiness is achieved through material wealth. It is true that it gives a temporary sense of well being. A rich person is not someone who has more but someone who desires less. Happiness is the result of total appreciation of all that life gives you at every moment.
