Get Into The Habit of Listening !!

In silence lies the ability to listen: to listen to ourselves, to others and to God. 

Listening is a lost art. Without it we cannot communicate, we cannot relate to each other and so we cannot live life meaningfully. We need to learn to listen.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Positive Attitude Helps Experience Inner Happiness !

Spiritual awareness (soul-consciousness) is cultivated through deliberate practice and only those who have understood the need for this kind of true, inner, self-respect will make the effort. Difficulties will arise to test your resolve for self-upliftment - physical illness, relationships, memories of the past, and so on. Yet with patience and introspection, you will come to see how these very tests are the means to strengthen your spiritual identity. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Confident & Fast To Choose The Perfect !!

We assume that more choice means better options. However, beware of choice overload; it can leave us confused because a world of possibilities can also be a world of missed opportunities! Any choice will close other doors that we'd rather keep open.

Instead of exhaustively scanning all options until finding the perfect one, narrow your options. And then decide on something you feel good about.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Try To Find Special In Self And Others !!

Become the one who is special by seeing only specialities. Throughout the day, among all the people you meet check if you are seeing any negative quality in them. Also check if you are seeing specialities in others or not. 

Each day tell yourself, "I am special and I only see the specialities in myself and others." Then practice seeing only the good qualities in others and you will become good too. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

A Beautiful Positive Message !

Summer - it's a time of abundance, to enjoy the summer sun, flowers and fruits ... but, summer, like everything else, doesn't last forever.

If summer was forever, all the energy and potential would reach its limits and inertia would set in. And so slowly but surely, the cycle turns; everything moves on. Everything has it's own time; it's own season.

Remember, the end of something good, means the start of something also good. All you have to do is be connected and in tune with the natural flow of natures energies.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Perform Daily To Inspire Others In Life !!

Consider yourself on the world stage and your every act will become special. 

Check all the actions that you perform throughout the day. Are your actions such that others will be inspired by you or are they just wasteful and ordinary? Make the practice firm, " I am on this world stage, each and every action that I perform is being watched by many and will inspire them." when you have this practice you will have attention on your actions and they will become special. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be The Leader And Make That Change !

The one who does not wait for others to change to bring a change in the self is the one who really brings benefit to others. Think of all the things you would like to change but are not able to. Now ask yourself why you are not able to bring about a change - is it because you are waiting for others to change before you change yourself. 

Take any one thing that you would like to change and tell yourself, " I will change and seeing me the others will change too. I am the leader who inspires others to change, I will not wait for others." 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

The Positive Feel of "I CAN" takes You A Long Way Ahead...

Courage is a strength that comes from the core of your being; the strength that allows you to commit to life. 

It's the willingness to go beyond your current limits and say I CAN. 

To be successful is to be able to fly over the clouds of situations. 

When there is any obstacle that comes up in your way check if you are afraid of it or if you are able to see it only as an obstacle that you must overcome. Each day take a thought in your mind, "All these obstacles that I am faced with are like clouds that come in the journey of my life. I have to go on flying and not stop in the clouds of situations." 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Bring Positive Thoughts And See The Change In Situation !!

Use the power of your thought and you will find negative situations changing into positive. 

When things are going wrong, check what kind of thoughts you are having - are your thoughts positive in spite of the negative situation or are they negative. The more you have negative thoughts, the situation will only worsen. When things are going wrong, take a thought that it is not the thing itself that is going wrong but it is your perception that makes it look negative. Also remind yourself that you have the power to transform negative into positive. When your thought changes the situation changes too. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Beautiful Positive Saying That Teaches A Lot !!

With habits, never give in or we lose our dignity. 

With the self, never give up or we lose our destiny. 

With others never give your worst or you will never develop your best. 

The saying, "What we give is what we receive". 

The lesson : Just to give. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Make A List of Things That Make You Happy In A Day !!

Become a jewel of contentment and you will become a bestower. During the day, check if you were always able to remain content whatever the situations you were faced with. Also see if you were able to be a giver in all the situations or if you were expecting something from others. 

At the end of each day, make a list of all that you have attained during the day. Your list could include even little things that made you happy. This practice helps you see what you are attaining and you will become a giver. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Change Yourself First !

There is no greater teacher than one's own practical example. 

To be really benevolent therefore means that I must first change, then I have the power, the knowledge and the experience of thinking and doing for the ultimate benefit of all.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Become a true well-wisher !

Become a true well-wisher who transforms others' attitude with your good wishes. 

In your interactions throughout the day, check if your feelings towards someone are negative. Also check if you are expecting someone to change his or her attitude or behaviour. 

Tell yourself each day, "Just as a powerful bulb when switched on transforms darkness into light in a second, there's so much power in my good wishes that they can transform others' negative attitude into positive in one second." 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Determination & Faith Leads To Happiness !

Determination brings the strength to continue, the steadiness to succeed, and the wisdom to slip past difficulties undisturbed. 

Where there is the faith that everything happens for the best, you will remain happy and cheerful. 

When things are going wrong, check your thoughts to see if there is any kind of fear or negative feeling. When there is either fear or disappointment you cannot remain happy. Each day pick out one thing that didn't happen in the right way and see what good has come from that. Make the practice in such a way that you will automatically see the good out of each and every situation. Even if you can't, there'll at least be the faith that things will turn out to be the best. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Happy & Enjoy The Magic of Life !!

Have you ever noticed that happiness is not a dependency, it is a decision? 

You don't actually need anything to be happy. It's not something that comes from outside, it comes from inside, and when you radiate a happy energy you'll be amazed what it attracts into your life. 

Don't worry, be happy...sound familiar? 

Decide now, be happy, and watch magic begin to enter your life.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Encourage & Help Others To Be Positive !!

When someone's feeling low, you can help them restore their self-belief by keeping a firm, clear vision of their goodness and what makes them special. 

Increase their self value by letting your vision be drawn to the diamonds (their specialities), 

rather than any stones (their defects).

Take a gentle encouraging approach and never give up on anyone. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Giving Regular Cleansing To Your Mind !!

The mind is constantly processing thoughts and emotions. And that's why a regular mind cleanser is so important.

Today, free the mind from past hurts and worries that continue to live with you.

Make time to clear out cynical and critical thinking.

 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Influence & Inspire Others with Positive Talks !

In our relationships with others, it is good to want the best: "I hope you do very well, I  am sending you my positive energy and this is my way of encouraging you and giving you courage. However, if you don't achieve what I think you are capable of, I will not feel frustrated. I will not be dependent on you satisfying my expectations, but I will always want the best for you." 

If you have faith and confidence that something will happen, it is a prophecy that must come  true. The expectations we have of someone, whether negative or positive, do have an effect on the person we are relating to. 

Many investigations into this question confirm the influence that the expectations of educators have, both in the performance and in the behaviour of their students. Everything points to the conclusion that the teacher's expectations form one of the most influential factors in the academic performance of their students. If a teacher expects good results from their students, their performance will be much closer to their real capacity than if their teacher is expecting poor results. 



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Overcome & Control Your Weakness !!

The way to overcome your weakness is to feel that the weakness is not yours. 

Check what weakness within you is not enabling you to attain success in the way you want to. Also check how many times during the day you have felt caught up with that weakness. See yourself in your perfect form and let there be the thought in your mind that the weakness is not yours and you are the one who has developed it in yourself. This thought helps you to gain mastery over that weakness and gives you the control to overcome it. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Use Peace & Silence To Overcome Anger and Stay Positive !!

In its original form, anger was not anger, not a negative reaction; rather it was the energy of a positive response to people and situations, but the response gradually changed to reaction. When we return to our spiritual identity, we begin to rediscover that capacity to be still, stable or centered, and we are they able to respond positively even to negative situations, or people. With spiritual consciousness, the energy of this negative reaction is transformed into being able to accept, understand and deal wisely and peacefully with whoever, or whatever, is encountered. 

In order to extinguish (overcome) anger, one has to use peace and silence, to understand that peace is the original state of one's being; to remember that 'I am a peaceful being' means to emerge the consciousness of non-violence. 

Silence, that is learning to put a brake on the mind and tongue, helps us to think before speaking and, as a result, saves us from many confrontations with others.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
