Make A Contribution To Improve The Lives Of Those Around !

To consider oneself to be a server means to be humble. Each one is endowed with certain specialities and gifts. The one who is able to use these specialties for the benefit of others as a server, is able to make a contribution to better the lives of those around. But the one who only thinks of his specialities and a chance for expressing the specialities is not able to remain humble. All the specialties that we have are there for a purpose. The more we use it to benefit others, the more we are able to use them with humility. We are also able to gather the good wishes of those around us and further increase our specialities. We have no expectations from others but are able to give unconditionally, recognizing their need.

Respond Calmly To Others Act !

At times there is a weak spot, something you do not want to see about your character. The way to discover it is through others. They are the mirrors that reflect your personality. If something bothers you about someone, you are recognizing an attitude that is actually within you. When you feel it does not affect you and you can respond calmly, it means that this weakness is no longer in you.

Be In Your Inner Space Where Peace Is Found Even In This Changing And Chaotic World !

There is nothing more certain than that the world will continue to change. Accepting and not resisting this, is the first and most important inner skill in this frenetically changing, modern world. Life tests us every day to see how well we have developed this ability. Equally, there is nothing more real than the inner space within each of us that never ever changes. We may change our thoughts, our feelings, even our sense of who we are, but we fail to visit the unchanging centre of our own self. The ability to be in this inner space, where our peace is found, when all around would prefer chaos and crisis, is the deepest spiritual change skill. It is the eye of the storm, it is the oasis in the desert, it is the place where peace is power. Call in today. You'll be surprised how much it can influence and change everything and everyone around you !

Let us then accept the situation as it is without expecting it to change. This acceptance will give the faith that things are happening for the best. With this faith even the most hopeless situation will turn positive.

Have Respect For Ourselves But No Ego !

To consider oneself a trustee is to use all treasures well. When there is the awareness of being a trustee of God, there is not only recognition but also good use of the internal treasures. These internal treasures are of virtues and specialities. All these are used wisely and well. Such a person is able to be loving and detached at the same time. When we have the consciousness of being a trustee, we are able to look within and get in touch with our own internal treasures. It gives us the consciousness of having respect for ourselves without developing any ego. We have no negative feelings when these treasures are not used or when situations demand more than what we feel we have.

Flow Is Accepting Things And Putting Them To Good Use Before Passing It On !

Everything that comes to us, comes to pass or, more accurately, for us to pass on. Not just the money in our pocket, but wisdom, objects, ideas, even opportunities, all come to us, so that, at the right moment, we can pass them on. This is called flow. Being in the flow means being aware that the river of life is flowing to us at every moment. Being in the flow means accepting whatever comes and putting it to good use, before passing it on. Going with the flow means allowing whatever comes to move on freely, without holding on in any way. If we do not pass on, we are trying to block the flow, and that's when we feel pressure in our life. Pressure is always self-inflicted. Every time you feel 'under pressure' look at what you need to release and to pass on to someone else. Once you do you can ...relax...again.

The task would be successful and there would be benefit and personal growth for everyone working in the team.

See Positive Aspects In Each And Every Person !

To be connected with people's specialties is to have faith in them. Faith is more based on our perception of people rather than just their behaviour. When we have the habit of seeing specialties in each and every person, we are able to create space for the use of these specialties. This automatically reflects our faith in them and their ability to contribute. Let us make a firm practice of seeing at least one positive aspect in each and every person we come into contact with. Then we will be able to use this specialty in a practical way and help the other person also to use this specialty. In this way, we will be able to increase his capability and out faith in him.
