Take Up Responsibility Of Performing The Best !

Responsibility is to honor the role that has been entrusted and to perform it to the best of one's ability. Just as the actor accepts whatever role he is given and performs to the best of his ability, in the same way taking up responsibility for one's life is to accept and honor the role so that the performance is the best under all circumstances. The result is that time and resources are utilized to bring maximum benefit. Each day let us remind ourselves that we are a good actor who brings out the best of whatever role we get. Instead of thinking of what we don't have, we need to start looking at what we have and using it in the best possible way.

Silence Contains Power To Create Harmony !

It is when we silence the chattering of our mind that we can truly hear what is in our heart and find the still, clear purity that lies within the soul. Spiritual love carries us into the silence of our original state of being. This silence contains the power to create harmony in all relationships and the sweetness to sustain them. And it is when we are silent within that we can let God into our hearts and minds filling us with peace, love and power.

Power Of Silence Is Full Of Pure Thoughts And Pure Feelings !

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.

True Respect Brings Humility !

Where there is true respect there is humility. The more respect is measured on the basis of something external, the greater the desire for recognition from others. The greater the desire, the more one falls victim to ego and there cannot be humility. We need to start theday with a thought that brings self-respect. We need to tell ourselves that we are special and also use this speciality throughout the day. We will then not dominate or limit the freedom of anyone but will naturally work with humility.

Find The Beauty That Is Hidden Within You !

Introversion brings empowerment of the self. Just as a tortoise withdraws from the external environment after its work is done, we too need to find time for ourselves. Amidst the activity of the day, we need to make time to look within and find the beauty that is hiddenthere. When we do this as a practice it brings a positive experience that empowers the self. We need to give ourselves a little time everyday at regular intervals. During this time, we need to look within and find our own uniqueness and we will find that we are ableto have access to our positivity. This practice will help us during a difficult time too and we will be able to use these qualities under all circumstances.

Changing Ourselves According To Situations Will Make Us Happy !

Happiness comes when there is self-sovereignty. Being a self-sovereign enables to have control over the self. If not, when there are negative or difficult situations, there would be sorrow. When there is control there will be no expectations from situations to change, but there will be the courage to change oneself. When things go wrong, instead of worrying or waiting for things to change, we need to remind ourselves that we are a self-sovereign and we will be able to bring about a change in ourselves. When we work on ourselves and change we can be happy.

Don't Think Much, Use Thoughts Required Effortlessly !

Introversion helps to manage thoughts better. With introversion we can very easily manage our thoughts since our mind will be free from waste and negative. Also when we are introverted, we find that there is no need to think as much as we do, but the thoughts required emerge effortlessly. Thus we are able to use our thoughts powerfully. When we find ourselves having a lot of thoughts due to some situation, we only need to sit in silence and practice going within ourselves instead of thinking too much about the situation. We need to make an attempt to experience the peace deep within ourselves and we will find we are getting calmer.

Detachment Enables To Understand The Importance Of The Virtue !

Balance makes life peaceful and happy. A life of peace is a life of balance. Sometimes, even a single negative thought or word can throw one out of balance. Even a virtue needs to be in balance. For instance determination, which provides energy and concentration necessary for any accomplishment can become stubbornness. So determination when balanced with patience and flexibility creates a life of happiness. When we have detachment whilst using a virtue, we are able to maintain balance. Otherwise we find that even a virtue to an extreme takes a negative form. Detachment enables us to recognize the importance of the virtue and use it in the right way, according to the requirement.

Be Free From Expectations And Attain Everything Without Any Difficulty !

To have a desire for the good act done is to eat unripe fruit. To have a desire to get the result of what one does is like eating unripe fruit. It is like following a shadow that will never be got. On the other hand, to do things because there is joy in doing it is to enjoy putting in effort. This also ensures that there is fruit attained at the right time. When we are able to do things because we enjoy them, we are able to be free from expectations. And because we are free from expectations and desires, yet working towards our aim, we find ourselves attaining everything without any difficulty. We are patient and wait with joy for the fruit of our effort to ripen.

Remain Light To Gain Easy Success !

To be light is to be free from the bondage of one's own weaknesses. To be light is to be free from the burden or bondage of waste thoughts and weaknesses. These traits within don't allow one to work with lightness. The waste binds the mind and so the efficiency is blocked. On the other hand, the one who is free from these weaknesses is free from bondages while doing everything. The one who remains light, remains up above and hence gains easy success. When we are light while doing our activities, we find ourselves working over our weaknesses easily and naturally. So, we feel free from the bondages of waste thoughts. This further enables us to discover hidden talents and potentials. This gives us the satisfaction of doing well and also enables us to experience easy success in every action we do.

Make An Impact On Others With Your Sweet Words !

Others experience sweetness when words are filled with the power of truth. False sweetness is saying that something is good without having taken the pains to find out what it is i.e., commenting on something superficial. Sweet words are those that are spoken after having understood the reality. In order for our words to make an impact on others, we must take time to see if we have really recognised the goodness in the other person. Each of our comments should be based on the truth that we have discovered in others and we will find others taking benefit from my words.

Maintain A Positive State of Mind !

To add the power of positivity is to finish negativity. The only way to finish negativity is to add the power of positivity. When there is someone who is using negative traits or if there is a situation, which brings negativity, it is necessary to fill oneself with the power of positivity. When this is done, words and actions are coloured with positivity, which colours others too. When we are faced withnegativity, it is important for us to maintain our positive state of mind. Instead of adding fire to something that is already on fire, when we are able to add the cool water of positivity, we are able to become an instrument of bringing change. We never blame others for the situation, but are always able to find resources to better the situation.

Remember You Are A One-Off !

Perhaps the most common habit we all learn to develop is to compare our self with others. Every time you compare yourself with another watch for thoughts like, "They seem to be doing better than me.... I wonder what it's like to be them... how come they get all the luck ... they are much better than me at that." Behind these thoughts you are really saying you would like to be them, live like them and be in the position they are in. In that moment you forget you are absolutely unique. You can only be your self. There is no one the same as you, and you can never be the same as someone else. If you keep thinking in this way you only sustain an underlying sense of failure which eats away at your self-respect and self-esteem. Never compare your self with anyone else, realise and remember you are a one-off!
