Serenity
Your serenity is based on
taking responsibility without taking blame, and letting
go without giving up.
Self-Progress
The one
who is committed towards his own self-progress, is free
from criticizing others even when he sees them make
mistakes. There are no negative words used, but words
are filled with good wishes and actions become
inspirational too. So such a person helps the other
person to move forward.
I enjoy the process of my inner growth, because I am
committed to learning from every situation. My own
growth provides a space for the growth of others too. I
am free from negative feelings because I am able to give
without expecting. I find others are able to bring out
their best too.
Meditation For
Personality Transformation
At the heart of every human being or
soul there is a spiritual energy, pure, of peace, love,
truth and happiness without dependence. Being aware and
experiencing this energy provides you with the inner
strength necessary for change. Meditation is the method
of access in order to allow that energy to come to the
surface of your consciousness and in your mind in order
to color your thoughts and feelings. In a way very
similar to that of a volcano whose melted lava, hot,
flows from the centre of the Earth to the surface, we,
on meditating, can create volcanoes of power (which
emerge in our conscious minds) required for personality
transformation.
You can do an exercise, a meditation whereby you choose
a habit or sanskar that you don't want, and you will
replace it with a characteristic that you would like to
incorporate, like a thread, into the cloth of your
personality. For example, replace impatience with
patience.
Tomorrow we shall explain a meditation with this theme:
changing a habit or sanskar.
Soul Sustenance
The Alphabet of Change
Awareness -
First, become aware of what you need to change in
yourself. What is preventing you from attaining
contentment? What habits are blocking the way to
realizing your full potential?
Belief - Many people think that a change in their
personalities is extremely difficult. But in fact it is
a reality that lies within your power. It might be
useful to ask yourself questions such as * What has held
me back from change in the past? and * What are the
stages by which I can bring change about?
Commitment - Motivation is the key to commitment.
We need to want to change, rather than feel it is a duty
to ourselves. Try writing down a list of commitments in
the form of statements beginning with ‘I will’. They
should come directly out of, and be connected with, your
overall vision.
Discipline - We cannot change unless we are able
to maintain a steady course over time. Think of each
sign as a major landmark passed. Even if we find
ourselves slipping into old habits, that achievement of
even a little bit of change cannot be taken away.
Message for the day
To serve with the
heart, with love is to guarantee success.
Projection:
When we have to be of help to
others, we sometimes find ourselves doing it with force.
We don't seem to be really interested in doing it but
situations or people seem to be forcing us to do it. We,
then, don't enjoy what we do and also don't find the
benefit of it either to others or to ourselves.
Solution:
We need to consciously make an effort to see what people
are benefiting when we are helping them. With this
conscious effort we are able to help others with love
without feeling the heaviness of what we have to do.
Thus, we find our actions to be much more fruitful.
