Learn To Forgive Others !

To forgive is to give correction. When there is forgiveness, the harm of the mistake is forgotten. The mistake itself is remembered only to the extent that the correction is to be given. So there are no negative feelings expressed even while giving correction. And the words that are used are few but prove to be very effective. When we learn the art of forgiving we are able to be free from the burden of negative and waste thinking. So there is never any difficulty in giving correction when necessary. The mind is free from the attitudes of the past and it creates harmony in relationships even if the opinions or personalities don't match.

Appreciate Every Small Thing In Life For More Benefits !

To be free is to be free even from the bondage of things. The one who is dependent on the presence of a particular thing to succeed in a task is also under the bondage of that thing. Such a person will not be able to put in effort to his full capability since he is always thinking of what is lacking. On the other hand the one who tries to find a way to do the task at hand even when there is nothing available is the one who finds new resources. He is then able to use these resources too for accomplishing the task. When we are thinking more about what is to be done rather than thinking about what is lacking, we are able to be content with what we have. We are able to appreciate every small thing that is present in our life that we could use for our benefit and that of others. We are able to work for what we want to achieve without being caught up only with the desires.

Maintain Your Inner Positivity !

The one way of finishing waste thinking is to find a solution. When there is something negative that happens the mind tends to create a lot of waste and negative thoughts. At such a time there is no clear understanding of what is to be done and so there is difficulty in being positive at such a time. But once the problem is identified and the right solution found, i.e., the right explanation is given, there is no more waste thoughts, words or actions. When we are able to find the right solution at each step, whenever even negative situations happen, we are able to remain happy and content. We are not worried about the problem at hand but we know instead that this problem has come to increase our inner strength and capability. Thus we are able to maintain our inner positivity under all circumstances.

Have Good Wishes For All !

To make the effort to take and give good wishes is to constantly experience contentment. Whatever the kinds of personality of the person, if there is this one aim of taking and giving good wishes, there is positivity in every interaction. Attention is paid to make every word and action full of positivity. Words spoken only give happiness to others and give some kind of support to the other person to be better than what he is. When we understand the importance of having good wishes for all, we are able to receive good wishes from others too. We are able to be free from the influence of the negativity of the situations and people. So we constantly experience inner happiness and contentment, even if we don't get something outwardly.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be A Good Listener !

To have the ability to listen is to learn. When there is the ability to listen there is the ability to understand others and what they are saying. So the one who listens is able to learn from every situation and each and every person whom he comes across. So what he does and what he speaks is much more effective. When we understand that we are a student for our entire life, we are able to be open to learning. So we are able to listen whole-heartedly. Then, instead of only putting across what we have to say, we are able to pay attention to what others are saying too. We are thus able to enrich ourselves with new treasures constantly.

Become Worthy Of Everyone’s Blessings !

To receive blessings is to become worthy of them. Sometimes there is a desire to receive blessings from God or someone who is considered more powerful. But the one who has truly a thought of winning the love, regard and blessings of the other person is able to put in effort to be worthy of it. So he is constantly trying to be better and better in what he does. Thus he becomes worthy of everyone's blessings. When we are constantly making ourselves more and more worthy, we naturally win the love, trust and blessings from all those we come in contact with. We are committed to whatever we do and know that the blessings of God are with us because we are making effort. We have no fear or insecurity, but go on doing what we have to do with confidence.

Influence Others With Your Positivity !

To bring in light is to finish darkness. Usually when there is any negativity seen, there is a lot of attention paid to it. All the positivity remains hidden and only the negativity is highlighted. So the one who is caught up with a negative attitude colours all his words and actions too with this negativity and will naturally create a world of negativity for himself. When we are able to see the positivity even in both positive situations and negative situations, we are able to influence others with my positivity. Others' negativity will not influence us in a negative way, but we will be able to remain powerful in all situations. We will experience inner growth constantly.

Make Efforts to Move Towards Your Aim And Experience Constant Progress !

To make the aim and qualification equal is to bring perfection. To have an aim that is high is to naturally bring about the desire to do the best in everything. But also important is to make effort to bring about those qualifications that are needed to fulfill this aim. So the one who has the desire to make the aim and qualifications equal is the one who is able to bring beauty to every action.

We are able to experience the satisfaction of bringing a lot of change in a short time. We experience constant progress as we continue to make effort to move on towards our aim.

Blend Your Qualities With Others !

To appreciate variety is to harmonise. When there is recognition that each human being is unique with his own unique set of capabilities, there is the ability to respect him for what he is. Then all attempts are made to harmonise with him instead of trying to make him just like oneself. So energy is channelised in the right direction and one becomes an inspiration for others too. To appreciate variety means to see the beauty and specialities of each and every individual. It means to appreciate the natural positive qualities in everyone and learn to blend our own qualities with theirs. This gives us the satisfaction of the beauty of relationships, because there are no expectations and no disappointments.

Try To benefit All Persons By Bringing True Change !

True change brings benefit to all. When there is someone who is behaving in a way that is not right, the usual reaction is to have negative feelings for that person. All words and actions based on this negative attitude will naturally create negativity. Instead it is good to see what could be done to benefit the other person. Raising complaints only takes away inner peace. When we bring about a change that benefits even the person who is making the mistake, we are able to remain in peace with all types of people. We are not worried about why a person is behaving in a particular way, but we are able to see what is to be done in order to remove that particular negativity. The hatred is not for the person but for the negativity itself.

Be Committed To Bring Out Our Inner Perfection !

The one who has the aim to be perfect is the one who learns from obstacles. The higher the aim, the more the obstacles that comes one's way. Just as a perfect idol is one that has been chiseled a great deal, each obstacle comes to remove some or the other defect from within. The one, who understands this little secret, is able to use each obstacle as a beautiful learning for growth, and a chance to express the best qualities from within. When we are committed to bringing out our inner perfection, we are never deterred by the temporary situations that come our way. We move on with confidence, taking time to look within and recognize the hidden potential within us. We are able to get closer and closer to the perfection that we always seek.

Spiritual Progress Is Important !

There is benefit for you in every situation. If, that is, you know how to look for it. The idea behind steady spiritual progress is to see every circumstance and situation (particularly those that challenge you) as a tailor-made lesson in your personal plan for self- development. For example, in a situation where hurtful or angry words were exchanged, why not see it as the chance either to perceive things about your own character which need changing or to rehearse some virtue or quality that you need to put into practice more often? Actually, we should be grateful for the opportunity to evaluate ourselves. In this way you can transform anything into a constructive lesson. Never think that you've learned enough and now can stop. You should love it when people try to correct you or give you advice. It keeps you alert and gives you plenty of opportunity to put your truth into practice. It's a sign of great danger to be unable to accept criticism and instead use your understanding to criticise others.Realise deeply the significance of every moment, and your spiritual progress will be assured.

Your Experience Becomes An Inspiration To Many !

To be experienced means to be an inspiration to many. Words heard can be forgotten, but that which is experienced remains as a deep impression that makes one move forward constantly. The positive experience acts as a stimulant so that others too take benefit from this experience. The actions of such a person are always beneficial. When we have an experience from which we learn, we are able to leave a deep impression for further growth. We are constantly learning from every single thing that happens in our life and we are able to sustain it as a beautiful experience for our life. So this learning becomes a powerful support for those who wish to change.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Possess A Stronger Heart To Serve God !

It is so important to experience God's mercy and forge a strong relationship with God as our Mother. Knowing that a heart that has been hurt becomes hard, we understand God is the only One who can heal our hearts. Each one should ask him or herself : "What can I do to make my heart softer?" There is such a need of mercy. We have to make our hearts softer and stronger, because a strong heart doesn't experience pain and we know that if we experience sorrow, we cannot serve God.

Have Positive Thoughts To Create A Foundation For A Beautiful Life !

The foundation of a beautiful life is positive thoughts. The one who is constantly thinking positive is able to keep his words positive too. His actions would surely be positive also and would be those that bring benefit to the self and others. So to have positive thoughts means to make a beautiful contribution in making one's own life worthwhile. When we continue to have positive thoughts, we create a foundation for a beautiful life. We are able to enjoy the beauty of whatever situations come up in our life. We are able to strengthen this foundation further because each positive thought multiplies as time passes by.

Love Everyone And Experience Joy Of Life !

Love spreads positivity. The one who is loving is not limited by circumstances and his love is not restricted only to certain people. On the other hand, it is revealed in each and every act thus colouring everything and every relationship with the beauty of that love. To be loving is to be constantly a giver. It also means to forgive others easily and help them to move forward. When we are loving constantly, I are able to experience the joy of life.

Give Regards And Bring Improvement In Others’ Lives !

To give regard to all is to win the love of all. To give regard to someone who is older and more experienced is one thing, but it is also important to have regard to someone who is younger. When there is such regard, interaction with them would surely be positive. The words spoken would be encouraging and giving them support and never putting them down even when they make mistakes. When we are able to give regard to everyone, we are able to win the love of all. We are not dependent on others' love for giving them regard, but are able to appreciate them as they are. We are able to see their specialities and encourage them to use these specialities. This naturally wins the love of others, along with bringing improvement in their own life.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Patient And Experience Success !

The one who is patient experiences constant success. I always expect things to happen fast. Even with a little effort on my part I expect high results. Because of my impatience I just can't wait, I jump to conclusions and react without understanding the problem. Thus I find it difficult to experience success in whatever I do. I need to understand that the fruit of the seeds I sow will come at their own time. This gives me the patience to wait without expecting results too fast. Also patience allows me to be calm even in the most negative situations. Thus I will be able to experience success whatever the immediate result of my actions might be.

Opening Our Mind For A Positive Conversation With God !

One of the best ways to remain light, even in the middle of chaos and heaviness, is to keep a conversation with God. Chatting to God, whose responsibilities are unlimited, about trivial matters that are wearing us down gives us a more entertaining view of life. It requires a certain stillness of mind to hear His advice, but with practice we learn to sense His perspective on our minor irritations. Since His mind radiates lightness and love, the very act of opening ourselves up to Him enables us to lighten our burdens.

Free Yourselves From The Past And Move Towards The Future !

To live in the present is to be free from the influence of the past. Many times the past keeps coming back again and again in the mind, influencing the present too. The present is lost in thinking about the past. So there can be nothing done to enjoy the present. All words and actions then are totally coloured by the past. Instead the one who is able to free himself from the influence of the past is able to move positively towards the future. To be free from the influence of the past it is important to have a powerful consciousness of the present. To be able to be free from the influence of the past is to forget the past. Because there is the understanding that it is gone. Also there is no worry about the future. When we are able to learn to live in the present we are able to discover how full it is of peaceful moments.
