Be Happy & Change Negative Things into Positive

True happiness doesn't come from external things or people but from within. As long as we depend for our happiness on external sources, there is every chance that we are disappointed. True happiness is that which comes from within. It is to enjoy and cherish each moment. When we do this happiness spreads to others too. With this thought today, smile at everyone and everything that comes your way. When you believe I am happy you will be able to take even the negative things in the most positive.

Keep Your Mind Free to Get Solutions

Situations do bring a lot of challenges for us, but where there is fear or worry while facing them, there cannot be peace. As long as we continue looking at the problem instead of searching for solutions we cannot remain in peace. Let us think of something that we consider as a problem, something about which we are thinking a lot. Now let us see if we can find a solution for it. If we feel we cannot, it is better to leave thinking about it rather than to worry about it. When we keep the mind free in this way, we will get the solutions automatically.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Generous for Others Benefits

To be generous hearted is to bestow others with one's own specialities and virtues. The one who is generous becomes cooperative and enables others to become virtuous through his own virtues and fills others with his specialities. To use specialities in this way, is to ensure that they increase. Let us think of something that is very special in us. Today let us take the thought of using this speciality of ours for someone's benefit. Not only will others benefit with this, we will find ourselves improving too.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

With Own Specialities & Virtues Move Towards Success

To be generous with one's own specialities and virtues is to ensure success. Deep within, each and everyone have treasures of virtues and specialities that could be used. The more we are generous with these treasures and use them for others' benefit, we find that they are available for us too. This ensures success in our life. In order to achieve constant success, we need to be in constant touch with our virtues and specialities and virtues. Each day let us think of one speciality or good quality that we have that can be put to use. The more we use our speciality, the more it will get strengthened and will be available for us even in the worst situation. Thus we can move towards success.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Action of Enlightenment

Rest does not come with sleeping, it comes with waking. This is both an insight and an action of enlightenment. When we are enlightened we relise that real rest is possible only when we become free of illusion and we no longer struggle against life. Illusion is the idea that people should be, and do, what we want them to. The truth is, all is as it should be, despite appearances, or our perceptions of others to the contrary. This means you can be easy on yourself, easy with others and easy with the world around you. Easiness is a virtue, an attractive one at that. It is much more influential than force. So quit forcing, end the struggling and . . . relax!

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Power of Silence!!

The power of silence can bring peace to any situation. The instruments for the power of silence are pure thoughts and pure feelings. We can give others an experience with the power of our silence. When we understand and experience the power of silence we will become more powerful. We will then be able to experience peace that will naturally spread to others too. When we have to correct someone in any situation we first need to remind ourselves that words will not work but silence based on pure feelings and love will surely work. When we accept the person as he is with love we will be able to bring about a change in him. The lesser we talk the more the peace that is created.

Your Hurdles Become Opportunities with Determination

Determination can change even opposition and make things happen right. When we are able to create faith and determination in whatever we have taken up, then automatically hurdles become opportunities. We will then receive cooperation from others making the task successful. Each day we need to spend some time to check all those aspects that did not turn out right. Then we also need to see whether there has been a lack of determination in any of those tasks. If so, let us place in front of ourselves the aim and its attainments and fill ourselves with determined feelings to accomplish the task.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Determined Thoughts to Overcome Weaknesses

To have a determined thought to overcome weaknesses is to be free from them. We only need to take a determined thought to overcome our weaknesses and we will. Then the influence of others' carelessness will not be on us but the influence of our determination will be on the others. First we need to take up any weakness of ours and along with it take the determined thought to overcome it. Even if we see others with the same weakness, we should not let it loosen our determination in overcoming that weakness. Let us make sure we don't give any excuses to ourselves but work on it till we overcome it.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Power of Determination

The power of determination brings thought into practice. We do have a number of thoughts that we would like to put into practice. Most of the times it doesn't happen that way and they remain merely thoughts. It is necessary to strengthen such thoughts with the power of determination and we will be able to make them practical. Let us first think of something that we wanted to do but could not bring into practice. Now let us take this thought once again and see why it is important for us to bring it into practice. Once we understand this we will be able to be determined to put it into practice.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Take a Single Step With Courage

A single step taken with courage brings a thousand fold help from God. If there is fear due to which we are not able to take the first step, we will never be able to achieve big things. Even if something looks impossible, with a single step of courage it can be made possible and we will then be able to receive maximum help. God of course doesn't do our work but he does the work of giving us help. Let us start with something new after surrendering it to God not just as a ritual, but with firm faith in our mind that we will receive His help. When we do this, help will surely come from some or the other means.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Use Your Thought Now & Ensure Success

To have the determination to do things immediately is to ensure success. The one slogan that is good to remember is 'Now or never'. If we are not able to use the thought we have immediately we will never be able to, because the strength of the thought begins to gradually reduce till it doesn't seem important anymore. Also there might not be enough time for it in the future. Let us first think of something that we want to do and take a thought, "if I do it now it will happen or it can never happen." When we think in this way we will not postpone but do what is required immediately.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

We Are Victorious

To maintain courage and faith is to ensure victory. To believe in one's own victory is to give ourselves the wings and the strength to fly. With just this belief we will have the courage to work on our obstacles with ease and win over them. Before we restart anything that we had failed in before or even when we start a new important task, we need to make sure that we tell ourselves that we are victorious. When we remind ourselves again and again that victory is our birthright, we will automatically get the courage to succeed.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Benefits of Healthy Attitude...!!!

When there is a balance between easiness and reliability, there will be benefit for others. When we understand our responsibility we would understand that what we do affects the lives of others too. So we will be cautious. Apart from this we will also know to take care of our own well-being because we would know that others will gain form our healthy attitude. Let this day be dedicated for removing some weakness within ourselves that is creating an obstacle for others and us. When we do this we will not only be helping ourselves but there will be benefit for others too.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Courageous All The Time and You Will Never be Defeated

The sign of courage is that there will be no defeat. During difficult situations if we have waste thoughts, words or actions it means that we are being defeated. Whatever the situation we are faced with, when our thoughts, words and actions are made powerful with our courage we will never be defeated. Whatever the situation may be we need never ask what will happen or how it will happen. These are waste thoughts that will not let us find solutions. Instead of having such thoughts we just need to remind ourselves that we are courageous and try and find the best solution for the problem at hand.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Detached from Results and Fulfill Responsibilities Powerfully

Responsibility is best fulfilled by the one who is detached. When one is attached to the task that he is responsible for it leads to worry,doubt and fear. This can have a crippling effect on decision-making and result in difficult situations. On the other hand, the one who isdetached is the one who is able to see things clearly and so fulfill all responsibilities with lightness. When we have to take up some newresponsibility we need to tell ourselves that we will do our best in fulfilling the responsibility. When we become detached from theresult of the task we will find ourselves doing our best because there are no negative thoughts.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Love Makes Us Tolerant

When there is love, tolerance becomes easy. Love makes us free from expectations, which enables us to accept people as they are. The more we go within ourselves we are able to discover our own strengths. We will automatically be a giver in all situations and we can tolerate very easily. Let us think of one person in whom we are not able to tolerate some quality. We then need to tell ouselves that just as a mother accepts her child even with weaknesses, we will accept this person as he is. When we change our attitude towards that person we can be tolerant.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Have Faith in God and Impossible becomes Possible

Faith in God gives the power to face the different challenges of life. In the difficult situations that come in our life when we have faith in God, the power within is brought out. With the faith that God is with us, we can transform negative to positive, and impossible becomes possible. When any task demands strength beyond our capacity, let us make the all-powerful God our companion. With the power of His companionship we will find things a lot easier to handle. Because of our faith help automatically comes.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Change Yourself & Inspire Others to Change

The one who is responsible changes first before he expects others to change. The one who is responsible is a leader. He would take up the responsibility to change himself first instead of waiting for others to change. With the change that he brings in himself he inspires others to change too. When we think of any situation where we were expecting someone else to change, we also need to think of one aspect in this situation in which we can bring about a change in ourselves. We need to take up the responsibility of changing this and we would find ourselves progressing, thus inspiring others to take the inspiration to change too.

Pure and Selfless Actions Gives Constant Happiness...!!!

Happiness is earned by those whose actions and attitudes are pure and selfless. When the actions are pure and selfless there is no trace of negativity. Where there is no negativity, the mind becomes free from feelings of guilt, fear etc. This automatically ensures constant happiness. If there is no happiness, there is definitely some kind of negativity. So I need to check the actions that I perform. They need to be not only for my own benefit but also for the benefit of all. I will then find that I am able to be in constant happiness.

Balancing Your Acts Makes You Successful In Your Relationships !

To be balanced is to have the ability to do the right thing at the right time. It is the ability to use the head and the heart at the same time. It is the ability to have love and discipline. There is neither too much love nor too much discipline. There is an equal quantity of both. When there is balance in my every act I am successful in my relationships. Because of this I receive their blessings too. I experience success in all I do and am able to enjoy a life of bliss. I am not caught up with questions about anything but am able to get the solutions in a second.
