Practise Peace To Achieve Positivity !

Become an embodiment of peace and a bestower of peace. 

People in the world only want peace and happiness. When you experience peace yourself you can give others this experience too. Where there is peace there would naturally be happiness too. Spend a few moments each day in solitude. Practice stabilising yourself in one powerful thought. Let the experience of peace from you flow to others too. During interactions too, keep your mind free from waste thoughts and you will find that others will be free from them too.

Check The Risks That You Take !

Do you sometimes take risks thinking you're being courageous?

Before starting something new, consider carefully if what you are doing is right and what the consequences of the action may be.

Combine being brave and courageous with understanding, then discern when to try out something new and when not to take unwanted risks. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Concentrate on Your Weakness & Remove with Determination!

When there is a determined thought to overcome weaknesses, you will be free from them. 

You only need to take a determined thought to overcome your weaknesses and you will. Then the influence of others' carelessness will not fall on you but the influence of your determination will fall on the others. Take any weakness of yours and take the determined thought to overcome it. Even if you see others with the same weakness, let it not loosen your determination in overcoming that weakness. Make sure you don't give any excuses to yourself but work on it till you overcome it.

Enjoy Your Journey ..... Enjoy Whatever You Do !!

Are we there yet? 

How often do you find yourself anxious to get 'there'? 

Are you over focused on the destination?
How about enjoying the journey and not just the destination!

Even when things go wrong have the courage to move on. 

Mistakes do happen, but I must keep my heart happy and have the courage for the future. Whatever happens there is always a lesson to be learnt which would be useful for the future. Take this learning and move forward with courage. When things go wrong in a big way i will remember that those obstacles have come to make me stronger. Take the determined thought not to lose courage whatever happens. i must maintain my courage and I will find things turning out the best.

Make & Follow Your Aim Throughout the Day !

True determination is a combination of single-mindedness and flexibility. 

When you are determined you are sure of what you have to achieve and you move on in that direction. And when you do find obstacles coming your way you are able to take them in your stride and like a river you can forge your route towards the destination. Take the thought right in the morning for the day. Throughout the day keep reminding yourself of the aim that you have taken in the morning and move on in the same direction till the end of the day. Don't stop even if there are obstacles that come your way. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Improve Yourself By Building Self-Trust !

Self trust is having an unshakeable conviction in yourself that relies on no proof or evidence. However, to start building self trust, you need to see improvements in yourself.

Make a promise, a commitment to you,
however small (in fact, start very small). And then keep it!
Make one and keep one today, and then notice
how much more you trust yourself. 

~   Brahma Kumari's, Mt.Abu

Face The World Without Waste Thoughts !

The sign of courage is that you will never be defeated. 

During difficult situations if you have waste thoughts, words or actions it means that you are being defeated. Whatever the situation when your thoughts, words and actions are made powerful with your courage you will never be defeated. In whatever happens never ask what will happen or how it will happen. These are waste thoughts that will not let you find solutions. Instead of having such thoughts just remind yourself that you are courageous and try and find the best solution for the problem at hand. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu.

Recognize People From Their Good Qualities !

Think of a person with whom you find it really difficult to work with. 

Now, make a conscious effort to think of one of their better qualities. 

Remember, each and every individual has something special about them.

Whenever you come into contact with this person, see them with this positive quality. When you make this a habit, you'll find any resistance or negativity (on your side) disappearing and cooperation becomes easy. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu.

 

Leave Resistance & Embrace Change !

Where change results in resistance or fear, 

ask yourself the question 

'What is the learning that is happening for me at this moment?' 

If you continue to resist, that negative force will push you into more resistance. But when you learn to let go of resistance and simply move with the flow, having the faith and trust that there is something of benefit here, then you can embrace change and let go of fear. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Start With Good Wishes To Fade Negativity !

Your generosity will make you free from feelings of negativity. 

When you are always generous, you are always a giver. You will not expect anything from anyone. Thus you will always be free from such negativity like jealousy, hatred, inferior feelings etc. Identify one person for whom you have negative feelings. Now spend a few moments each day giving good wishes to this person. When you become a giver you will automatically find yourself wishing the best for that person and your negativity will fade away.

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Pull Up Yourself with Positive Attitude !!

Notice how many times you put yourself down during the day. Include what you think and say, even words spoken in jest. 

Pay particular attention to how you react to your mistakes and poor choices. 

Instead of putting yourself down, affirm positive messages about yourself. Treat yourself gently and with respect. You deserve it. 

Think of yourself as a child who is learning to walk; you need encouragement - not criticism. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu.

HAPPY VALENTINE's DAY 

Love Makes Things Easier !!

When there is love, you can tolerate easily. 

Love makes you free from expectations, which enables you to accept people as they are. You can then go within yourself and discover your own strengths. You will automatically be a giver in all situations and you can tolerate very easily. Think of one person in whom you were not able to tolerate some quality. Now tell yourself that just as a mother accepts her child even with weaknesses, you will accept this person as he is. When you change your attitude towards that person you can be tolerant.  

~  Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu.

Control Self Anger & Learn To Meditate !

Don't forget that everyone is always in two places at once - they are “out there” but they are also “in here”: in their heads. If you get angry with them out there, you are not only the first to suffer, you are in effect getting angry with yourself. And that is like taking a knife and piercing it in your own body. You wouldn't choose to do that, would you? Never ever get angry. And if you do, and you will, until you have learned to kick the habit, don't get angry with yourself for getting angry. Heal the anger with wisdom and love from your own heart, for yourself. It's there. All you have to do is stop, look inward and listen. Ask someone who is already doing it to explain how. Better still - learn how to meditate. That's what meditation is for.

Be Happy, Be Light & You Will Enjoy Whatever You Do !!

The easy way to remain happy is to remain constantly light. 

Pure thoughts are light and waste thoughts are heavy. 

Therefore, keep your intellect busy with pure thoughts and you will become light and continue to dance in happiness. 

The actions performed with happiness become a means to draw the line of fortune as long as you want. 

The more actions are performed with a feeling of happiness, the more they will bring benefit to yourself and others. Thus it becomes a basis for creating your elevated fortune. Instead of blaming fate when things go wrong, it is good to remember that to create our line of fortune is in our hands. Take the thought to be happy in whatever you do. This practice will enable you to change your situation into a more positive one.

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Happiness Helps Things Go Smoothly !!

When you're happy, you can easily think, 

"I'll smile at everyone and everything that comes my way." 

With happiness you can flip even the most negative things into something with a positive slant or pump humour into any situation. When you're happy, your happiness automatically spreads to others. It's an infectious feeling that immediately lifts the spirits of people. 

Today, take advantage of every moment to give happiness

Meditation leads to a Stress-free & healthy Life !!

The state of the body is a result of the state of the soul not only because of past “karmas” (actions performed in this and previous births) but because of its present state also. 

For example, when the emotion of fear passes through the mind, the endocrine system starts pumping adrenalin through the body to prepare it for a surge of energy. It is easy to note the cause-effect relationship between fear (cause) and adrenalin (effect). In the same way all of the mental ups and downs cause resulting secretions throughout the body. Internal rage is accompanied by heavy breathing, fast heart-beats, red face and so on. This relationship between body and soul is the reason most physical diseases arise from a psychological or mental origin. There is no doubt that any lessening of harmful secretions by reducing the emotional causes will bring about sound and lasting health. Health and order in the soul (mind) bring health and order in the body. 

Of course there are other factors which give rise to health problems - pollution, unhealthy life-style, lack of exercise, wrong diet etc. Through Raja Yoga meditation and its connected positive lifestyle and through a pure vegetarian diet, ill-health can be minimized. The removal of stress and tension has to be one of the most important advantages for a person who practices Rajyoga meditation.

Keep Hoping ... Get Going !!

The happiness within you changes even hopeless situations into hopeful ones. 

There is so much power in being happy that even in the most hopeless situations you can keep yourself peaceful and happy. When you are able to maintain this stage you will find that things change for the better too. Your hope will work to change the situation. Think of one situation that you are not happy with. Make sure you accept the situation as it is without expecting it to change. This acceptance will give you the faith that things are happening for the best. With this faith even the most hopeless situation will turn positive. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu.

Have Faith in Yourself !!

The ones with faith in the self will be able to make their thoughts and actions equal. 

When you have faith in yourself you will be able to have a high aim and you will be able to put into action all the thoughts that you have according to your aim. Your plans will then not be limited to thoughts only. With the firm faith that you are special and unique, start putting into practice all the special thoughts that you get without postponing them. Slowly you will find yourself doing all the things that you think you should be doing. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu.

Refresh Yourself Regularly !!

In your busy day, make time to revitalise and refresh yourself. 

Imagine you're swimming in an ocean, being gently tossed by the waves. Let yourself sink down slowly under the water (where you can still breathe normally). Drift weightlessly, floating, immersed in the still, silent water, until you are ready to return to the surface. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Concentrate In Yourself & Your Life !!

You're the star, playing the lead role in the story of your life. However, in addition, you also have roles in many other stories where you're one of the extras or playing a supporting role. 

Not every scene is about you. When it is someone else's scene, try not to draw the focus towards yourself. When invited give your opinion, otherwise keep your opinions in check. When you understand that this is their scene and they're playing it their own way, you're free to concentrate on what you're doing.
