When there is power within, we are able to do what is required at the right time. We are able to find the resources and use them appropriately. All we have to do is to be a master and order and the right resource will be obediently accessible for use. To say "I will try to do it" is to experience failure even before beginning something. We need to have the thought that I will do it come what may. Then the seed of our thought will be of faith and not of doubt. So we will be successful in doing what we have to.
One of the best ways to remain light, even in the middle of chaos and heaviness, is to keep a conversation with God. Chatting to God, whose responsibilities are unlimited, about trivial matters that are wearing us down gives us a more entertaining view of life. It requires a certain stillness of mind to hear His advice, but with practice we learn to sense His perspective on our minor irritations. Since His mind radiates lightness and love, the very act of opening ourselves up to Him enables us to lighten our burdens.
Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
If our mind is still enough, we can see the deeper meaning behind each situation. No matter how bad a problem may seem on the surface, if we remain positive eventually we will see how everything has worked out for the best.

If we obey the principle of pure love, our life will always go in the right direction. Altruistic (unselfish) and unconditional love is pure and comes from our inner truth. When we are obedient to that inner truth, our life becomes a joyful dance.

If we allow bitterness and resentment to fester inside, it will make my relationships guarded and unsatisfying. The more we close down to others, the more we become a stranger to ourselves. By letting go of sorrow and negativity, we can keep our nature open and loving. Remaining open to life, with its constant adventures and opportunities to grow, is the only way to reach our full potential.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
As we mature spiritually there is less need to have our self-respect bolstered by praise and special attention. As our thought processes become more compassionate and less self-obsessed, we feel increasingly satisfied with ourselves and or lives. We relate to people more easily and feel no need to draw attention to our successes or complain about our problems.
Everyone wants to be loved for who they are. When we appreciate others fully it boosts their self-esteem and helps them pass on a loving attitude to others. Even though we may not see the results immediately; love always works.
Great souls take advantage of every moment and every opportunity to give happiness to others through kindness in their thoughts; such souls are willing to overlook weaknesses and mistakes and have the desire to help everyone reach their potential.
If at any time we begin to lose hope in ourselves, let us simply look inside out hearts and see all the good actions we have performed, from the smallest to the grandest. When we see how much happiness we have given, we easily remember the purpose of our life.
An innocent heart is of great benefit to the self. Rediscovering our innocence allows us to re-experience the wonder of a child, to let go of cynicism and appreciate the simple things in life.
To be impartial is to be independent and uninfluenced, to remain the master, true to our higher self and our original qualities of serenity, love and joy. We are unaffected by changing circumstances and other people's negativity. Chaos always subsides, bad moods pass. With a loving and positive attitude, we align ourselves with that which is true and eternal and then all problems can be resolved.
Humility grows a little more each time we step away from our own feelings and opinions and genuinely listen to the experience of another human being. Humility is dedication to the extent that no acknowledgement is sought for the self. Only when we have learned to value others no more no less that we value ourselves can we be said to be truly humble.
Without enthusiasm life becomes a dry and tasteless experience. Anyone can become enthusiastic for a little while but to keep enthusiasm steadily flowing through our life is a great art. The secret is remarkably simple; live in a state of appreciation; appreciate the special qualities within everyone; appreciate the wonder of nature and give thanks to the cycle of life and everyone's contribution to it. Enthusiasm is infectious, especially when it is based on an appreciation of, and love for life itself.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Non-violence is a very deep philosophy. Not only does it require us to harm no one physically, but also avoid harming anyone's self-respect. Such an ethic requires tremendous awareness and sensitivity. When we have learned to be gentle with ourselves, we can be the same with others.
Lack of spiritual strength makes me susceptible to the negative energy of others. By choosing to be spiritually awake we release a benevolent energy that can transform the negative into positive. Through our mind we become a natural and constant donor.
