Optimistic Outlook
Optimism opens a door
in difficult or hopeless situations. No matter
what the crisis, an optimist maintains the
outlook that it is a sign, time for a different
way of thinking, or of doing things. Sometimes
the signal has to be very clear even harsh,
otherwise we may continue in self-delusion and
not wake up. Of course if we lack optimism,
instead of taking this signal as a step towards
renaissance, complaint, resentment or even
desperation will emerge.
Power of Truth
The power of truth
within you will enable you to learn from all
situations. When things go wrong you will be
able to check yourself
and improve instead of giving excuses to
yourself and others. When you
give excuses you will not be able to learn and
progress. Take any
situation that went wrong today. Check within
yourself what your part
was in the situation because of which things
went wrong. Then correct
yourself based on this understanding.
Being Dependent On
The Look Of The Other
We have to trust that, being ourselves, we will
be well-received and loved by the world. If we
are here, why have we been incarnated on Earth?
To satisfy the look of the other or to bring
what is unique and exceptional in us? We all
have two eyes, a nose and a mouth but no face is
the same. We are all a being of conscious
energy, a soul, but each one has a colour, an
art, a creativity and something different to
contribute. Let us trust in ourselves and use
our talents to bring our difference.
You can be your best friend. Imagine that
someone accompanies you in your life, values
everything that you do and finds it to be great:
what you do, what you say; you are the best;
extraordinary; a shining being; a star. Now
imagine that you have that person next to you
day and night. How do you feel? On top form and
you are fine. This happens in relationships.
When someone loves you very much, they
practically only think about you; they ring you,
they send you text messages, maybe they write
you letters or emails. You feel unique, special
and loved. But this does not last forever and,
nowadays, it lasts less and less. The difficulty
is that if you depend on the look of the other
to feel fine, sometimes you will be fine if the
person looking at you does it well, but if not,
you won't be fine.
How do you look at yourself? This unconditional
friend that loves you so much and that supports
you is what you have inside. You can be your
best friend. This gives you security and trust.
If someone else likes you or doesn't like you
and criticizes you, you won't collapse within
because to be fine you do not depend on the look
of the other.
Soul Sustenance
The
Inner Awakening Wave
Our beliefs either put us to sleep or cause
us to remain awake. Even if are awake on a
physical level, when we are asleep internally,
without even realizing most of the time; we
don't see others, situations and the world as a
whole in their true light. We see, perceive and
interpret reality incorrectly, which causes us
pain. We perceive any sort of pain on the mental
or emotional level to be normal and think that
others and circumstances are responsible for the
pain. All this, because of the incorrect beliefs
that we carry inside us, the most important one
being that we are physical bodies and not
spiritual energies or souls. Only when the
subtle pain becomes intolerable, do we look for
a remedy for the same, or think we have to do
something about it. Most of us go through life
asleep and hence in pain. An inner awakening
is one in which we realize the incorrect beliefs
and are not scared to challenge them. Once we do
that, our pain starts receding. We then very
naturally look to wake up others, so that they
are relieved from their pain.
The present time in the history of humanity is
such that while the sleep of some souls is
getting more and more sound and pain increases
in the world, on the other hand, an inner
awakening wave is taking many souls in its tide
as more and more souls are waking up from their
deep slumber and waking up others. This is
the time when late night and early morning exist
side by side. It is the same time, but late
night for most and early morning, a time of
getting up, for a few. This is happening due
to a consciousness shift or shifting of beliefs
inside many through spiritual knowledge. Such
souls, whose number keeps increasing everyday,
are experiencing more and more happiness in
their lives. Both these groups of souls have
similar circumstances and people in their life
but the shifting or correction of beliefs inside
the second group is causing souls in the group
to remain stable amidst these circumstances,
free from spiritual pain, depending on how much
the shift is.
Message for the
day
Inner satisfaction brings creativity.
Expression:
Quite often I find myself
trying to keep pace with the things that I have
always been doing. I seem to be caught up in the
routine to the extent that I experience
monotony. I then cannot think of any newness
that I can bring in my life.
Experience:
It is only with my inner satisfaction that can I
bring creativity in my life. For this, while
doing the routine jobs that I am involved in
throughout the day, I need to make special
effort to keep myself content with the things
that are going on and also think of new ways of
doing what I am already doing. Then I will never
experience boredom in my life.
