Communicate With Your Inner Peace !!

Peace is like glue that puts back together all the broken pieces that make us peaceless. 

So, every now and then (maybe as you eat or drink)  become quiet and reconnect with your inner peace and put  all the pieces of your inner world back together to make peace. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu.

Commit To Tasks That Are Reasonable !!

Saying no isn't about refusing to do tasks. 

It's all about considering whether other people's demands on you are reasonable or not, as well as being reasonable with the demands you put on yourself. 

Be responsibly selfish! 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu.

Its Only Now.... Later Never Happens !!

Procrastination kills; 

it kills the idea, the motivation and the will and we lose the power of the moment.

To stay creative and to stay motivated, act now! 

If we leave it for later, it may never happen. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu.

Feel Love & Experience The Difference !!

Just as the bird has to let go of the branch in order to fly, in the same way we also need to let go to experience and express love. 

The branches we hold on to are our attachments (people and objects). When we mentally hold on to something or someone, we open ourselves to feel fear, pain, anger and possessiveness.

Love is about letting go and letting others be. It's about appreciating and accepting without dependency and expectation. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu.

Give Some Time To Your Mind ... Let It Relax !!

We're always commenting in our minds, 

even when it's nothing to do with us. 

All this unnecessary chatter creates clutter & 

takes our mind away from being present and calm. 

So, here's a challenge for you: 

whilst aware of your surroundings, 

the sounds, 

other people's behaviours, 

your thoughts & 

emotions; 

quietly observe, without making a comment in your mind; 

zip up your mind; & let the mind - just be. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu.

Take a Break & Use the Time to Get Creative .. !!

Slow down the train of your thoughts and become mindful of the 'gap', 

the spaces in between your thoughts.

Take moments through the day to enjoy the 'still spaces' in your mind. 

Use these 'gaps' as creative spaces, from which innovative thoughts arise. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

See Problems As Opportunities to Grow !!

Problems have within them the very real potential to make us stronger, as unshakeable as a mountain. 

How? 

They're an opportunity to draw on your inner strength and continue. It gives you the steadiness to succeed and the wisdom to slip past the problems undisturbed. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Action Your Sayings To Build Trust !

When there's a gap between what you say & what you do, 

both your integrity & people's trust in you seeps away.

Make effort to close the gap between your words & actions.

Walk your Talk. Don't make promises you can't deliver. 

Do what you say you're going to do. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu.

Respect Other's Choices & Learn What Made Them Make Those Choices !

How often do you want to change the choices other people make? 

Next time, respect other people's choices and remember:

- People have good reasons for the choices they make.

- Each person learns about life at their own pace, through their own pace, through their own experiences and the lessons they need to learn are not yours. 

- You can't change anyone. You can only change yourself.

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Get Yourself into the Early Years & Refresh !

Regularly make time to de-tech. 

Switch off the phone, laptop, TV. 

Unplug from all the electronic and digital technology. 

Now breathe and relax. 

Tune into your inner space and experience inner peace. 

Enjoy solitude and refresh your energy. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Powers That Recharge The Soul - Part 2

The Power to Discriminate

Like  the trained eye of a jeweller who discriminates the real from the  imitation, I can discriminate what is true and what is false.

The Power to Face

Nothing seems like an obstacle, but rather a stepping stone to victory. To lack this power means to be dominated by external dramas.

The Power to Cooperate

I do not feel like I am competing against anyone, but rather I am helping all. Here, the surrender of ego is needed.

The Power to Withdraw

I can withdraw from the organs of the body, and become the seed; detached, and the observer of this drama of life. Contentment comes.

Powers That Recharge The Soul - Part 1

These are powers that recharge the soul. As the soul comes into action, it experiences the practical form of these powers. 

The Power To Pack Up 

In a second I can pack up all wasteful thinking, so the soul becomes light and free of burdens and worries.

The Power To Tolerate 

Irritation and annoyance disappear, and nothing disturbs my light frame of mind. The fragrance of this power is attractive to all.

The Power to Accommodate

Like the ocean that merges all that flows into it, I merge all that happens; so past is past, and the future seems clear and bright.

The Power of Judgement

I can accurately assess any situation with clarity and confidence

To Be Continued.....

Discover Yourself & Use your Brilliance !

We might not be brilliant at everything, but we have virtues and an inner brilliance. 

However, it's most most likely that these virtues are lying dormant, at the core of our being. 

Tap into your brilliance by creating time to discover and experience your virtues. 

Then develop your inner brilliance by activating and using your virtues in action. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Concentrate on Positive Thoughts & Feel the Change !!

When you choose to carry the past around, life weighs heavy. 

There's equally too much baggage when you hold on to the uncertainty of tomorrow.

To travel light and enjoy the journey, consolidate all that you've learned from the past and let the rest go. 

Then focus all your energy in the NOW.

Instead of beginning to change things and situations that are going wrong, I need to work at the seed, i.e my thoughts. 

I need to keep my thoughts positive under all circumstances, which will make my actions positive too and I slowly find things changing for the better. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Start Your Day with Positive Note !

Develop the habit of getting up early and sitting in silence. 

Read a peaceful thought and reflect on it. 

Write down some ideas about this thought. 

Return to silence, allowing these ideas to take root inside you. 

Share your ideas with a person close to you. 

This practice will help you accept and cope with conflicts and difficult situations. It will help you stay happy and peaceful for the rest of the day. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu.

Try to Find the Positiveness Around You !!

The positive is there, in everything. 

All you need to do is simply look for it!

In every person, the best is there; your opportunity is to recognize it. In every problem, the solution is there; your responsibility is to provide it. In every setback, the success is there; your adventure is to discover it. In every crisis, the reason is there; your challenge is to understand it.

Make it a goal this week is to find it. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Be Good & Connect With Life !!

Today, when human beings seek love, meaning and purpose, they first connect horizontally (with others) rather than vertically (with the Supreme Source). This leads to a greater loss of energy and eventually dissatisfaction and emptiness. 

The vertical connection liberates the self from becoming dependent on someone else and from having too many expectations. After the vertical connection, there can then be the horizontal connection with others, that is, with the outside or external. 

No matter how bad people may seem, they possess at least one virtue. 

Be like the humming bird and pick out the sweetness of everyone's character.

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Keep Flowing In Life & Enjoy The Adventures !!

Drops of water gather to become a small stream, 

the stream grows to become a river, 

the river passes through many stages, 

many obstacles, and yet it keeps on flowing. 

Life too flows like a river. 

And like the river, the purpose of life is the adventure of the journey, 

not the destination.

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu.

Be Pure & Happy to Enjoy The Benefits !!

My heart is full and open. 

Flowing with pure good feelings and good wishes for everyone. 

I follow my spontaneous instinct to give and I am totally happy. 

There is a part of you that is perfect and pure. 

It is untouched by the less-than-perfect characteristics 

you have acquired by living in a less than perfect world. 

This part of you is a still and eternal star. 

Make time to reach it and this will bring you untold benefit. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu 

Enhance Your Beliefs & See The Change !!

Each belief we hold carries a magnetic field that draws a similar energy towards us. 

The more conviction we have that a belief is true, the more powerful its magnetic pull.

If we believe we are lucky, we attract good fortune. 

Our worst fears & greatest hopes magnetically attract those experiences to us. 

Today, let's challenge the beliefs we hold about ourselves.
