Be Committed ... Be Positive !!

Commitment to the self means to have commitment to remove weaknesses.

Commitment for the self means to have the recognition of one's own weakness. It also means to have a clear vision for one's own progress and perfection. This will then create a powerful identity within which will enable us to do away with weaknesses. Let this day be committed for removing some weakness within myself that is creating an obstacle for others and myself. When I do this I will help myself and create a positive influence around. Then there will be only positive growth.

When we're working in a team, we need to make sure that we inform all the details to everyone involved in the task.


The task is easy to accomplish when those involved 
feel part of the team. So, make sure you communicate clearly, simply and openly.


This will naturally create a flow of contributions and 
enable the team to give their best to the task.


~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Stay Calm, Give Yourself Some Time !!

Some circumstances are just beyond your control. Often, all you can do is accept this fact, hang in there, stay calm and do your best.

Try to curb your expectations and be understanding of yourself and others. Everything else will work out in its own time.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu.

Interaction Helps Bring Confidence !

The one who knows the art of connecting to others is successful. 

We are normally good to people who are good to us. But when someone is not behaving well, we tend to change our attitude, our response and our behaviour towards that person. We wait for the other person to change, in order to change ourselves. So neither do we find change in others nor in ourselves. When we know the art of perceiving others’ specialities and connecting to them, we are always successful. We are then not dependent on the other person’s behaviour for our own growth. We are able to see each one’s positive aspect and take it in ourselves too. So we are richer with each interaction.

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu.

Cooperation Helps Get Bigger Goals ...!!

Trust wins cooperation. 

If there is the thought that we can do things ourselves without other people’s help, it means that we have arrogance of our own potential or we are not able to have trust for others. This lack of trust doesn’t allow us to use others. potential for the benefit of the task. So we are deprived of a very useful resource and we will not be able to be happy. We need to understand the fact that there is greater success in cooperation. It is much more useful to invest our time and resources in training and developing others’ potential. This brings about the best from people and so there is a greater contribution and hence greater success in every task that we take up.

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu.

Bring Positive Change in Others !!

You can bring transformation in others when you have faith in them. 

When you blame others for their weakness they will not able to change themselves. Instead when you have faith in others, it enables them to have faith in themselves too. This will give them the courage to work on themselves and change their negativity into positivity. Think of one person whom you want a change in. Tell yourself again and again that you believe that he will change. Also whenever you interact with this person let it be with only with the positive in him. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu.

Move One Step At A Time !!

Instead of changing many different things at once, make a small change and when you're comfortable with that change, move on to the next small change. Notice small improvements and bask in your inner appreciation. Your confidence will increase. If there's one or two slip ups, cut yourself some slack. Stay positive and get back on track. Also, have resolutions reminders. Then you'll be less likely to stray from them! 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu.

Faith Gives You Confidence & Gives You Hapiness !!

Happiness stays in the life of the one who has faith in the self. 

When there is faith, there is obvious happiness visible in thought, word and action. Whatever the obstacles come by, faith in the self brings the confidence to face all obstacles very easily and happily. Whatever the task you take up remind yourself again and again that you are going to succeed in it. This gives you the faith to go on with happiness in spite of seeming difficulties. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu.

Throw Away Anger & Ego To Move Towards Positivity !!

'I expect' is the great illusion, which converts itself into demanding rights without due respect for others. 

Anger in all its forms is a direct result of an expectation not being fulfilled and brings cries (although sometimes silent ones) of 'They should have done this', 'Why did this happen?' or 'Don't you know better?' Disappointment, accusations and demands are violent energies, which we throw around very naturally and easily in our daily life when our expectations are not fulfilled. They are like a burning fire that eats away at our original spiritual qualities, turning them to a dust that pollutes the self and others. 

Instead, let us continue to practice returning our thoughts to the self and remembering our original source of peace. In that experience of deep, natural peace, we will find balance and clarity and the ability to tolerate and adjust to the unexpected. 

One of the keys of meditation practice is to quickly gather our thought energy and take it inside to connect to our original qualities, no matter what may be happening outside, or even inside! 

Let me disconnect from the external and plug in to the internal energies that support me and then I will be able to say goodbye to anger very easily. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu.

Learn To Tolerate & See The Improvement !!

Those with the power of tolerance will be content and will make others content too. 

When you tolerate, you will find yourself improving. This will make you feel satisfied with yourself and you will become a support for others too. This will make them content with themselves and with you too. Each day make it a point to learn at least one thing from all the suggestions that you get throughout the day. When you keep this in mind you will be able to tolerate even negative comments very easily and you will find yourself improving. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu.

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
