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.
A mother teaches her child with love and patience until the child learns. Be a mother and teach your mind to have positive thoughts and to let go off worries. Then when your mind most needs peace, it will obey you.
You spend most of your life running after things, doing things. You forget that being comes before doing. Those who remember this secret make an effort to "be" and discover that when they stop and observe, life helps and brings whatever is needed. Learning to be is learning to be at peace. It is our most fundamental nature.

- With your words, recognize, value and appreciate their accomplishments,
- With your actions, cooperate and do something for others.

People build their identity around physical achievements, status, relationships, and other's opinions, which is like grasping a mirage in the desert - there is no substance or permanence. Rajyoga teaches us how to understand our original personality as 'souls' and re-emerge our divinity through the remembrance of One Supreme. No matter how much others or even God may try to convince me that I am a worthy individual, until I visualize my own goodness and nurture my self-respect, I cannot do anything with my life. God loves me no matter what I may be like and makes me realise my 'self' by loving me unconditionally.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Nothing can be more pure or stimulating than the relationship between the soul and Supreme Divine Being. They say love is a flower so delicate that a single touch can bruise it and yet so strong as to face the biggest storms; this describes the perfect love, as God has for us. When sustained on faith, it carries us across the most difficult hurdles of life but dies instantly with the touch of impurity, negativity, doubt.
The presence of prosperity or lack of it in health, finances and relationships can offer signs of internal wellness, and clues about what kind of inner development needs more critical care.

Best of all, enjoy taking the reigns and steering towards total prosperity - in all dimensions.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
We are what we think, all that we are arises with our thoughts," said the Buddha, "with our thoughts, we make the world." In other words, you are constantly creating your circumstances by the way you think. It's as if you had a guided missile in your unconscious that relentlessly directs you towards its target, and the target is whatever your thoughts dwell on. Think doom and gloom, and that's what you'll get. Focus on happiness and optimism, and they're already yours. Negative thought frustrate the universal forces that can create a happy, healthy and successful life. They keep our true potential trapped in a mental prison of our own making.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Free yourself from forcing, expecting or wanting someone to receive what you think they should take - it could be your idea, opinion, or an opportunity you think they should accept - you can't make anyone take anything. Offer humbly. Offer gently. Offer as if you are a master, and then let go, and retire like a shy child. When you can dance the dance between being master and child, you'll be surprised how much more others will accept what you have to say, and how much more they appreciate your offerings.
If you think you can do something alone, either because you don't trust others to do it or because you feel you are the most qualified, you will always be busy doing everything, you will be unhappy with others because they are not doing what you want, You will be dissatisfied. It is more effective to invest your time in training and developing others. There is a greater success in cooperation.
Self-consciousness distinguishes you from other animals. It enables you to be aware of your thoughts, feelings and emotions and to understand how they influence your behavior. When your consciousness awakens, you start being truly free because you decide your destiny and take responsibility for your choices.

Making accurate decisions means to make right and benevolent decisions, that is they should bring benefit to all. Before making an accurate decision, we need
1. Time to reflect
2. To understand the power of choice. Ask, understand, discuss and then decide.
Positivity is a subtle, spiritual attribute or energy, natural to all of us, that can accumulate in the mind just as electrical energy accumulates in a battery. A positive frame of mind promotes healing in oneself, and this energy naturally flows out to others.
There is benefit in every situation, but to gain benefit especially when loss is in the air, one must be honest with the self. This means assessing and facing the self and no lame excuses. If you have the power to transform negative to positive, you will always experience positive. Those who defame will be your friends; obstacles become opportunities to take high jump and storms will cement your relationship with God. It is important to see the total picture which includes seeing your own actions. You have to be detached from the scene - only then can you assess the situation without being influenced by your injured ego.
Peace ends when you are emotionally involved in a situation. The practice of being an independent observer helps you stay stable and calm. It is the best way to approach a decision in any circumstance.

You search for something you know exists because you have experienced it in the past. All your searching ends when you find yourself. You do not need to go anywhere, or to look beyond yourself. Just become what you were before. You fill your life with peace when you discover you only have to be yourself, to be what you have always been - a peaceful being.
Making time for the self can save time for the self. We have to spend much time earning to support ourselves and caring for other members of our family. But what about the self? We are busy checking our children's thoughts, words and actions, what about your own. It is important to make sure our thoughts, words and actions are what we would like our loved ones to have. If the foundation is weak, is it sufficient to fill up the cracks in the walls that continue to appear. In your dealings with others if there can be deeper communication, greater accuracy and clarity, then think how much time can be saved. Our thoughts are our closest companions.
Learn to create silence in your mind and peace will flourish in your soul. You will discover God's language. To be internally silent do not think too much. Trust yourself. Trust others. Trust life. You will find it is easier than it seems.
The theatre of life has its own script. Each instant is unique. Live each moment as if it were the most important of all. You will enjoy and feel peace. Discover your spirit and the treasure within. Your spirit is full of peace. Your spirit is peace.
When I awaken to the power of the mind I can begin to step back from whatever illness is happening in the body. The more I become the observer, watching what is happening instead of being caught up in it, the more free the mind can become. Even when my body is ill, I can create thoughts and feelings of happiness and peace. These positive feelings then help the body, so that I have the strength to face the illness and quite often pain and sickness decrease or may even go away.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
