Life Bring Obstacles to Strengthen You.

Often, from grain of sand a mountain emerges. If you want to protect your inner peace transform the mountain into a grain of sand. Life will bring obstacles and difficulties. They do not come to stop you. They can strengthen you and help you progress with more experience. Keep advancing. Sometimes you do not find a solution, it is enough to keep moving forward, learning from and leaving obstacles behind.

Offer Solace to Troubled Minds

The ability to enjoy one's own company is one of the greatest gifts life has to offer. Learning to turn our thoughts away from all our responsibilities at the day's end and take our mind into a state of peace and benevolence enables us to carry greater and greater loads without feeling burdened. When our inner landscape is full of beautiful thoughts, everything we do is a pleasure. Gently, we calm down chaotic situations and offer solace to troubled minds.

Actions More than Words to Inspire

Your words might impress others. People will say “He is a good speaker. What interesting things he says”. But if you don’t practice what you say, others will not feel inspired to do it. It is your actions more than your words which will inspire and show them how to do it.

Powerful Form of Teaching is Example

The most powerful form of teaching is by example. What you see through your eyes creates the greatest impact. The heart accepts it and it does not need many words. You cannot impose peace on any one through force but you can bring this about by being peaceful and creating a peaceful environment.

Humility Is Rare

Every creative task needs humility behind it, for humility is plainness and on plainness the colors and shape of the work are clear to see and mould. If a new world were to come, it would need vitally this quiet basis to form itself on, that could stay the same whilst things were changing. Humility is the willingness to be used in any way that’s necessary, however out of character it may seem; for in humility, individuality has been exchanged for the task it is involved in. Quietness in this case is an unquestioning acceptance of whatever has to be done. Humility is rare, because to have it you have to want nothing. If you do have it, you get everything.

A Humble Person

A humble person is lovely to be with, for beside them one is at ones best and yet because they respect themselves, nothing done belittles them, but further speaks of their beauty because the achievement is half theirs already.

Humility

Humility dismisses nothing, but takes even small thins seriously. It is the recognition that whatever is in life and in front of you, is to be respected as something that will take you forwards; that inside big things there is sometimes little; but inside little, there is often enormity.

Life - Game of Forgetting and Remembering

Life is a game of forgetting and remembering. You are losing the game when you forget who you are and what you are doing here. You are losing the game when you remember all the false things of the past and what they did to you. You are winning the game when you remember your true identity of peace, remember the One who is always peaceful and has unconditional love for you. You are winning the game when you forget the troubles of the past and move forward with lessons learned.

Bring Back Lightness in Life

Wisdom is not so much a creative quality as one of nurturing what is already there. Wisdom is making the very best of what you have, not stretching your hand for more than you require, nor taking too much. Never saying you will do something, just doing it; and not being enthusiastic. It is seeing the drabness of life and making it beautiful. It is recognizing that every gesture of giving is a right gesture and every gesture of taking is an invitation of influence. Because if you take what you most want, there may be mud stuck to it – heaviness. By giving, as you withdraw, you bring back lightness. It is a life of quiet victories and smiling defeats.

Positive Thinking Quote on Wisdom.

Wisdom is richness, not suspicion or reserve. The richness of experience folded inside you. Experience not only of the past but also of the future, gently knowing what is to come. It is like an income, the interest of which is used daily to live with ease, to avoid pitfalls, but the bulk of which remains saved inside, emerging unbidden when there’s a ‘crater’ in your life. Though there is richness, wisdom avoids shows, understands economy and knows that no-one needs your judgment, only your love for life, your warmth and perception. Wisdom simply sees the need and provides, fits in, but remains unique. Quietly.

Wisdom

Wisdom is knowledge of danger but no fear. It is the ability to spot a twist in the distance, a narrow stretch, the possibility of a collision; to stop and wait in peace until something has passed. No wisdom is keeping going, hoping all will be alright.

Remain Silent & Serene.

Many times with good intention of solving a problem, you become a part of the problem. In order to accept the problem it is more practical firstly to remain silent and serene. It is not always necessary to understand to causes but to find solutions. Observe and reflect in silence and then make a decision.

Criticisms.

Criticisms are good things. They help us look at ourselves, to check and improve. There are situations where you feel that nothing you say or do seems right, where there is constant criticism. How do we satisfy people at that time? We must first be satisfied with ourselves before we can satisfy others. If we do not have the power to quickly change the negative attitude of others, we must atleast start with ourselves. Change our attitude towards the one who is constantly criticizing. Adopt more positive approach. Positive thoughts, words and actions will eventually bring positive results. Continue acting in this Godly manner. Atleast God will be pleased with you.

We should Ask Ourselves.

We should ask ourselves, do we react to situations in a positive or negative manner? The way we react is very much dependent upon our mental attitude and this in turn is directed by our thoughts. Linking our thoughts to the problems that surround us brings unlimited tension and worry. By linking them to the subtle and powerful vibrations of the unlimited source of peace, tranquility and knowledge that is, God the Supreme, we automatically have a constant source of good uplifting vibrations which can settle our troubled minds. He is the Father of all souls, the one who is there to give help at any time. In a time where our thoughts wander with little or no direction, where we find it difficult to talk or relate to people, it is worth remembering that God, who understands us, is only a thought away.

Accepting Responsibility without Burdened

Accepting responsibility without feeling burdened by it may seem unrealistic. Yet it is possible so long as we stay close to our inner self and strength. If we are willing to trust them, spiritual principles and values work like an unseen hand, guiding everything in a beneficial direction. When we remain aware of this force at work, we can accept responsibility and strive to fulfill it without worrying about results.

Keep Your Mind Positive.

The most important place to keep clean and tidy are our minds and hearts. If we allow thoughts to flourish that we normally wouldn’t want to see the light of day, we can never have any real self-respect. By starting each day in quiet reflection and pouring positive, loving thoughts into our mind, we gradually clean out cynicism and unkindness. Our mind should be so beautiful and welcoming that God Himself would want to come and see it.

The One Who Is Laughing

When there is ignorance of the law of cause and effect, there is laughter instead of mercy and love, ridicule instead of sympathy and compassion. When there is ignorance of the power of thoughts, there are ill wishes for others. To have pure wishes for all is divine, and to have hope for one that seems to be a hopeless case is a good gift of charity. Sometimes thoughts and feelings are expressed in laughter. But laughter, like thoughts can have positive or negative influences and effects. To laugh at the misfortune of others is cruel but the one most affected by the laughter is the one that is closest to it, i.e one who is laughing.
