Connect Yourselves Positively To Your Weaknesses !

To be sincere in removing weaknesses is to have the power to overcome them. While it is important to recognize strengths, it is also important to recognize and acknowledge weaknesses. With honesty, when we understand our weaknesses, with sincerity we are able to work and have the power to overcome them. We are then able to find the right method too. Let us take a positive thought connected to our weakness and remind ourselves of that thought at least 5 times a day. For example, if our weakness is anger, let us remind ourselves of our inherent peace with thoughts like 'I am a being of peace' 'peace is inherent within me'. When we practice sincerely with this we find that the power within emerges, emerges strength finishing weakness (peace emerges finishing anger).

Benefit Others With Your Specialties !

Awareness of inner power brings the capacity to use the inner treasures. We have within us a lot of treasures - the treasures of thoughts, time and virtues that we have not been using fully. The power within us enables us to recognise and use these treasures in a worthwhile way. The more we are able to work with them we find themincreasing. We need to remind ourselves of the treasures within ourselves and try and discover which treasure we have that we can work on. Even if we think of a simple specialty of ours which we could make use of, we would find it increasing and we would find others benefiting too.

Make Best Use Of Your Fortune !

There is happiness in distributing the fruit of your fortune with generosity. The more you remember your fortune of what you have attained, the more you will enjoy sharing it with others. And the more you give your own treasure it increases too. Each one has his own share of fortune. Think of all those things that you have for which you would consider yourself fortunate. When you begin to look at these things you will stop expecting but make the best use of what you have.

Pure Motivational Quote !

There is a voice within which occasionally gets our attention and tries to remind us of how good and beautiful we are! It calls us from a time long... ago when we first arrived for our journey in and through time and space. Those first moments were filled with pure joy, pure play, pure adventure. Whenever you meet someone today with a pure, innocent and trusting heart let them remind you of yourself during those first early years. They invoke the purity of your own heart, and invite you to be innocent again. It also shows you one of the greatest keys to real relaxation. It is the truth that we are all pure in heart...forever. It is only what we accumulate and learn from the world around us that blocks and clogs our heart. All evil is learned and fortunately can be unlearned. All depression is the result of the illusion that we have lost something, when in truth, we cannot lose what is of true value to us, the eternal qualities of our own spirit, our own self. In a quiet moment today, listen for your hearts call. It will tell you everything is really fine, there is no need to struggle, and that you are beautiful just as you are...and you will be again!

Use Your Specialties For Someone’s Benefit !

To be generous hearted is to bestow others with specialities and virtues. When you are generous you will become cooperative and enable others to become virtuous through your virtues and fill others with your specialities. The more you use your specialities in this way, the more you will find them increasing. Think of something that is very special in you. Today take the thought of using this speciality of yours for someone's benefit. Not only will others benefit with this, you will find yourself improving too.

Intelligent Inspirational Thought !

To be stable means to be firmly set on the seat of self-respect. When we are stable in the seat of self-respect, we will be able to take criticism in the right way. If we work with ego, we will be upset by even a little criticism that comes our way. On the other hand, our stage of being in a stage of self-respect will enable us to learn fromall situations. When someone criticises us, we need to tell ourselves that "I am a leader", for it is only a leader who is criticised. We should check and see if we can learn something from the comment that we get and incorporate it in our lives. If there's nothing for us to learn we just have to set ourselves in our seat of self-respect.

Judge Your Thoughts Properly !

Despite appearances, people may be doing the best they can. Think that no one is to blame, and humility in your attitude will enable everyone to move forward. Judge whether your thoughts, words and actions are beneficial to the scene in which you find yourself. Focusing on your own part is more useful than passing judgment on others.

Simplicity Has Its Own Charm !

Simplicity sharpens the power of perception. When there is simplicity within me, the clouds or layers that prevent my perception begin to fade away and I can see the situation clearly. With simplicity I find that there is nothing to colour or change my perception and naturally the decisions that follow become accurate too. Before I take any important decision I need to stop for a while, detach myself from the situation and see it with a cool mind. With this my thoughts will become free from all kind of associated memories and unnecessary attitudes and I will be able to make the right decision.

Meditation Teaches You To Think Positively !

When God walks into your life, it is like a laser beam passing across your being. The light restores beauty and value, even if what is visible at first glance is less than beautiful. Meditation is an invitation to light. Meditation is not complicated. It simply is a means of teaching your mind to think in a different way.

Blessings Are A Boon !

Blessings are not valued until they are gone.' So much is overlooked and so much of our actions are automatic that it is as if nothing special ever happens. Nothing stays the same. The situations we find ourselves in today can change in the twinkling of an eye and the freedom and amenities we took for granted can disappear. We need to stop and count our blessings and see how fortunate we really are.

Possess A Smiling Face !

We all know and remember a smiling person - someone whose heart seems to radiate through their teeth. And when they do, notice how it's almost impossible not to smile back...unless you are feeling very, very grumpy! So if you don't feel a smile coming on - why not do it anyway. Not only does it transform your inner chemical production and create 'happy hormones', but when people are on the end of your smile, they smile back (well most do). And if you really don't genuinely feel like smiling at life, the universe and everybody - fake it until you make it!

Highly Important Quote !

Each one of us is a walking radiator. Mostly we radiate thoughts and attitudes. From deep within we radiate our state of being, and the essential, original and eternal state of every being is peaceful and loving. But we block and distort this energy with our attachments. Attachments turn love into fear, peace into anger and then distort our attitudes and actions towards others. This is neither relaxing for ourselves, or for those around us. Which is why detachment is the secret to living lightly and lovingly. To be a radiator that people come to for real warmth, what do you need to detach from today? If you don't detach then you will stay attached, and then you will see others and life itself as a threat, and your tension will keep them away. But they cannot threaten you. Only your dependency on a thing, or an idea, or an opinion can be threatened. Come on...what needs to be released today? What needs to be released so the light can come through?

Magical Positive Thoughts !

Life experiences are like sentences - we are always looking for the full stop, the conclusion. It's OK to end a train of thought, but not thought itself. Thoughts are the beginning of our creation and are here to be creative. Thoughts are like the magic carpet on which the soul rides across eternity - in reality, there are no endings, noconclusions. Rest for the spirit (which is what we are) is when we allow only the current of the purest thoughts to flow through our mind - thoughts which carry good wishes and blessings for ourselves and others. This is not so much going with the flow, as being in the flow, and being refreshed by the flow. It is how we refresh ourselves. For when we have powerful, positive thoughts for and about others, who experiences them first?

Become A Source Of Inspiration To Others !

The best service is to keep shining with inner specialities. Everyone wants to become a source of support and help to others. Attempts are made to do something, which will help others. But the real service that one can do is to discover the inner qualities that are present and use them in simple activities. These specialities add quality to the task, and become a source of benefit and joy for those around. When we are able to add quality to what we do, we automatically become a source of inspiration for those around us. Then we don't have to do a lot of things to be helpful to others, but our very life will become useful for those around us, and many more. We will have the joy of doing even simple things in a beautiful way.

Use Your Specialities To Improve Your Actions !

A single speciality can add beauty to every word and every act. Each and everyone have a unique speciality that is reflected in the actions from time to time. But the one who is aware of these specialities in a conscious way, is able to add quality and beauty to everything that is spoken or done. Nothing is waste or even ordinary but everythingbecomes special. As we have the constant aim of using our speciality in everything that we do, we are able to experience success both in what we do and also in all our relationships. We are able to make everything more meaningful and powerful. We are not caught up with the ordinariness or the negativity of the situation, but are able to enjoy the moment by colouring it with our own special quality.

Focus Attention On Self By Practicing Honesty !

To live with honesty is to learn constantly. The one who is honest practices the truth in daily life. Honesty enables to focus attention on the self instead of looking wastefully at others or their weaknesses. It enables to bring knowledge into practice. It enablesone to be free from excuses. Thus there is constant learning and constant change for the one who is honest. Where there is honesty we are free from feelings of laziness, fear or dependence. When we are honest there is a deep desire within us to change and we make ourselves available for every little thing that will enable us to bring about a change. We are willing to change constantly, progressing and improving with each and every situation.

Help Others With A Great Soul !

Have Self Respect And Take Responsibility For Your Actions !

The key to responsibility is self-respect. When anything goes wrong, an individual is not willing to take the responsibility for his own choice. Instead it becomes very convenient for him to blame others for the mistake. Lack of self-respect abstains one to take the responsibility for the choice that he has made. So his words and actions reflect excuses and justifications. When we have self-respect and are able to maintain our inner positive consciousness, we are able to continue having this consciousness wherever we are, and are able to feel the ease of accepting the consequences of our actions. We are able to learn from everything that happens in our life, having taken the responsibility of our actions.

Humility Is A Great Virtue !

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 - your own experience probably confirms this. 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.

Spread Love And Experience The Sweetness Of Relationships !

To have love is to fill words with sweetness. It is difficult, if not impossible, just to try and make the words sweet. Even with the greatest attention only an attempt could be made at a superficial level to make words really sweet. Real sweetness comes when there is love in the heart. This love enables one to be sweet in allinteractions. When we have love in our heart for others as well as for ourselves our feelings are always filled with good wishes. We will experience the inner sweetness, which then spreads around to others too. When we have good wishes we will be sweet in all our words. Thus we experience the sweetness of relationships.
