Learn To Create Love
If I limit the love I give to just one or two, it will
eventually go stale. If I learn to create love inside my
heart and silently give it to everyone I meet, love will
grace every corner of my life.
Playing My Part As A Hero Actor
While just as beings we reside in the soul world, as human
beings we play our many roles through many physical bodies
in this beautiful world drama on this amazing, colorful and
round stage called planet Earth. Each day is filled with
multi-million scenes in different locations on this very big
stage. Some scenes are directly related to us, some
indirectly and a lot many aren't related at all. Each
scene that we are directly involved is an opportunity to not
only play our role in the best possible way but also as a
result shape the role in the most appropriate way possible.
Therefore, we are all hero actors who by playing our roles
as well as possible, create the script of our own life i.e.
create our own destiny. And do remember doing this has a
positive influence on others' scripts also, which rebounds
back to us and in return helps us in our making our scripts
better. While we have been given a role to live the entire
birth right from childhood to old age, we possess the power,
the remote control to dictate and control as to how exactly
we will live the day, the year and each year of our present
birth, our present role. Each day offers us multiple options
as to not only how we act but also how we respond to the
world around us and our script or destiny gets shaped up
according to the options we make. Our destiny is decided
not by what happens to us or around us, but by (i) how we
act (sometimes the actions are responses to external events
and sometimes they are not) and (ii) how we respond
to a million events and circumstances which we encounter as
we make this complete journey of life.

Soul Sustenance
Crossing Negative Circumstances/Situations (Part 1)
There are periods of life in which it seems to us that there
is someone or something who gets in the way of our path.
Circumstances, instead of going in our favor, go against us.
They are barriers that make it difficult for us to reach our
objectives; they are interruptions that prevent us from
feeling satisfied; they are situations that seem to reduce
our feelings of success. When we find ourselves with these
scenes that appear to block our progress towards the aims
and objectives that we have set out for ourselves, we tend
to have negative thoughts; we feel anger and rage, or we
feel sad and unenthusiastic, as if we don't have the
strength to either overcome or transform the situation.
Rather it is the situation that overcomes or overpowers us
and leaves us exhausted. Some people are not prepared for
this to happen and put all their strength into fighting the
situation. They do so with feelings of anger, revenge and
injustice. Often it becomes a process that wastes their
energies and leaves them exhausted, without achieving a true
solution. It is possible to live through situations without
them causing such an emotional energy loss. That does not
mean that we become cold and insensitive to what happens
around us. It is a question of living through situations
without drowning into them. If we drown ourselves in them we
won't be able to help others or ourselves. We will be
lost, like the shipwrecked, at the mercy of the waves, the
tides and the winds. We will have lost the control of the
steering wheel of our ship – our life.

Message for the day
To have a big heart means never to be disheartened.
Expression:
To have a big heart means to have good wishes constantly for
others and to enable others to move forward through this.
Even if someone with negative characteristics comes in
front, there are no feelings of negativity as there is the
power to accept and recognise their specialities.
Experience:
I am able to be beyond confusion and doubt when I have a big
heart. I am never caught up with the problems but am very
easily able to find a way out. I am never disheartened even
when I encounter the negative aspect of someone. Instead I
am able to very effectively and smoothly come out of the
situation.
Responsibilities
Our children, our work, are they a burden or a
responsibility? If our responsibilities become burdens then
it would seem that we are not content with our
circumstances, and are hoping for a change. For things to be
different there has to be a change whether in a gross way
like change in location, or in a subtle, more meaningful way
- change in attitude. For e.g. if you are given a job and
told to complete it in 15 minutes with no reason given for
the job, your responsibility becomes a burden. Then you find
out that the work is for a person whom you are extremely
fond of, your attitude changes and your responsibility is no
longer a burden; out of love you will finish the work
faster. With change in attitude there is improvement in
every situation. Sometimes it only takes a thought to create
a change in attitude, it is like a key. We often forget to
use the keys we have. See how many keys you have to unlock
the treasures of personality and use them as required. It is
better to have responsibilities than burdens.
