Doing One Thing At Time Helps To Keep A Clear Mind !!

How often do you forget where you've put your wallet, keys ...?

Or do you can't remember if you've locked the door or left the iron on?

Is it because you can't keep your mind on what you're doing? 

Are your thoughts wandering off because there are many others things on your mind? 

Here's a tip: Mono-task. Just do one thing at a time. 

                      Be present and focus on what you are doing

Keep Giving..... It Can Be Precious At Times ... !!!

Compared to the ocean, a single raindrop seems insignificant, ridiculously small and inconsequential. 

But in the thirsty desert, a single raindrop is precious, life-giving and vitally important. Is your world an ocean of peace or a desert? 

Even though you are only a single drop, every drop counts. To give something when and where it is needed is what really counts.

Inner Peace - Use It in Difficult Situations !

Peace is found within but not outside. 

We are peaceful beings but external situations pull us away from our peace if we let them. When there is not a very positive situation that we are confronted with, we need to save ourselves from the pull of the outside situation and rely on the peace within. Every morning practice being a peaceful being who is totally in charge of yourself. When you make this practice firm when difficult situations do come you will be able to rely more on your internal peace instead of getting carried away by the external situations. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Try to Get Solutions, Instead of Sitting On the Problems !

Stay in constant peace by becoming an embodiment of solutions. 

Situations do bring a lot of challenges for us, but where there is fear or worry while facing them, there cannot be peace. As long as we continue looking at the problem instead of searching for solutions we cannot remain in peace. Think of some problem that you are thinking a lot about. Now see if you can find a solution for it. If you feel you cannot, it is better to leave thinking about it rather than to worry about it. When you keep the mind free in this way, you will get the solutions automatically.

Give Your Thoughts The Power of Determination !

You need the power of determination to bring thought into practice. 

We do have a number of thoughts that we would like to put into practice. Most of the times it doesn't happen that way and they remain merely thoughts. It is necessary to strengthen such thoughts with the power of determination and you will be able to make them practical. Think of something that you wanted to do but could not bring into practice. Now take this thought once again and see why it is important for you to bring it into practice. Once you understand this you will be able to be determined to put it into practice.

Changing is not Impossible... !!

Never believe anyone who says you cannot change, or that you should not tamper with your personality. 

The truth is, you are already changing numerous times every day. And it is never too late to contemplate a change in personality, which simply means changing the way you see and respond to people and the world around you. It is up to you. 

You can either live with the pain that is known as stress - it's what most people do because it seems the easiest way to live - or you set off on the adventure of self-discovery. This is not some New Age fashion. 

Every time you change one of your old habits, of creating pain as a response to life, it will be one more step towards enjoying a riper old age. If you want to live a long and healthy life, kill your stress and your pain with truth, before it kills you!

Be Your Own Coach & Move To Your Vision !

Just as sports coaches help players visualize their goals and victory, in the same way, if you want to create a winning strategy, create a positive vision of yourself and visualize your success.
 

Be a self coach and:
 

- regularly and effectively assess your personal development
 

- focus on and enhance that which is positive
 

- instead of beating yourself up for every mistake and failure, practise positive self talk. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu

 

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.

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

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.
