Embrace Change
When you are aware and accept that everything
around you is constantly changing, and that you
have no control over 99.99% of it, you are able
to embrace change like a close friend! Change is
a like a river, constantly flowing and moving
things around. The river of life is constantly
bringing you ideas, people, situations - each
one is an opportunity to be enriched or to
enrich others, and to learn. Change is the play
of the universe as it entertains us in the
biggest light and sound show of all time. Why
not sit back and enjoy the show?
Sense Organs
We are usually controlled by our sense organs.
For example, whatever
our eyes see, we are distracted with that.
Thoughts continue to wander
in that particular direction and we have no
control over them. At that
time even if we do try to control, we find it
very difficult. The
stimulus the sense organs get is not in our
hands, but how we choose
to respond definitely is. So we need to give the
training so that we
see only positivity in everything, i.e., we also
have the power to
transform even negativity into positivity. Then
at the right time,
this training will help us keep our sense organs
under control.
Overcoming Frustration In Relationships
There are two things in life that we can
never change:
* the past and
* other people
This often brings us one frustration after the
other, especially when we do not get the results
that we want. Frustration is also a sign of
failure, and every time that you fail in getting
what you want from the other, your self-esteem
and self-confidence are reduced.
Frustration is a form of anger. You allow
the negative emotion to control you, and
therefore you lose control. Most times
situations will not be as you want them to be
and neither will people behave as you want them
to. Therefore, you can decide now if you want to
continue allowing the other to dictate your
reactions according to how they behave, which
results in the loss of your rule, control and
personal power, or you can decide that no matter
how the other behaves, you rule over your
responses; you decide what you want to think and
feel.
When another tries to control you and then gets
frustrated because you don't do what he or she
wants or you aren't who he or she expects you to
be, they get in a bad mood with you; they look
at you with anger and what do you do? You then
place an invisible barrier between you and him
or her. In such a way that they cannot 'enter'
into your world and you do not leave yours
either, they lose their influence over you. In
the same way, when you try to control people
you lose your influence over them and distance
is generated.
Soul Sustenance
Creating a Positive Atmosphere
To create a positive atmosphere at home or at
office, while interacting with your family
members or colleagues, emerge positive
energizing thoughts in your mind like * I am a
peaceful soul, child of the Supreme Soul, the
ocean of peace, * I am a loveful soul, * I am a
blissful soul, * I am a powerful soul, etc.
These positive thoughts spread in your home and
office in the form of positive vibrations and
have a positive influence on your family members
and colleagues also. As a result you can
maintain your peaceful, positive state even
amidst actions and interactions with them. When
you are clearly established in this stage of
self-respect (positive consciousness), they will
be more co-operative in your work and will have
greater respect for you. Obstacles from your
surroundings will not affect you.
Message for the day
True spirituality is that which makes one
practical.
Expression:
Usually spirituality is
perceived as something that has to be kept
separate from the normal daily life. But true
spiritual life is that which is very practical.
The one who is able to fill himself with
spiritual power is able to use this power for
being better and better in his practical life.
Experience:
When I am able to recognize the inner beauty and
am able to give myself time to be in touch with
this spiritual aspect, I am able to be powerful
and beyond chaos in all situations. I am able to
go within to find the immense power and use it
in practical situations. So I find myself being
successful in practical situations.
