Self-Limiting Beliefs
How often do you hear yourself say, "I can't",
"I'm not able" or "I never will"? Can you
identify self-limiting beliefs you have about
yourself?
Can you then challenge them and say: "I can",
"I'm able", "I will"? Choose self beliefs that
work for you, beliefs that give you a chance to
succeed.
Performing A Spiritual Audit At The End Of The
Day
Our normal day at the office or/and at home is
filled with lots of actions and interactions. On
a normal day, without realizing consciously, we
create almost 30,000-40,000 thoughts. So, not
only are we active physically but extremely
active on a subtle or non-physical level also.
Imagine sleeping with all this burden of
thoughts, words and actions which have been
created throughout the day, many of which have
been waste and negative in nature. What would be
the resulting quality of my sleep? So it is
extremely important to perform a
spiritual/emotional audit or evaluation at the
end of each day.
In a lot of professional sectors of life today,
people recognize the need for reflection and
audit, not only of financial records but also a
general evaluation of the respective sector, to
maintain and improve both the service to
customers and the job satisfaction of people
working in the sector. Checking my own
behavior, as a daily exercise; not just
checking, but also bringing about respective
changes for the next day, enables me to continue
to develop and grow, as a human being and in the
quality of my work and personal and professional
relationships. Have gone through the
self-evaluation, it is also advised to become
completely light by submitting the mistakes made
and heaviness accumulated in the day to the
Supreme Being. Doing this helps me put a
full-stop to the same and settle all my
spiritual accounts at the end of the day. I need
to put an end to all commas (when looking at
scenes that caused me to slow down and reduced
the speed of my progress), question marks (when
looking at scenes which caused a why, what, how,
when, etc.... in my consciousness) and
exclamation marks (when looking at negative or
waste scenes, which were unexpected and
surprising) which were created in the day's
activities. Along with remembering what all good
happened during the day, what did I achieve and
what good actions did I perform, there is lots
to forget at the end of the day, which should
not be carried into my sleep at any cost.
Disturbed, thought-filled, unsound sleep, will
result in a not so fresh body and mind the next
morning, which will cause my mood to be
disturbed, adversely affecting the following
day.
(To be continued tomorrow...)
Innate Nature
When something negative happens that negativity
tends to colour the surroundings too. We tend to
react negatively to that situation. We forget to
use our virtues and react with some negative
trait. So the impact is obviously negative too.
To recognize the truth is to bring about beauty
in each and every word and action. To recognize
truth is to appreciate our true innate nature.
When we are able to be aware of and use our
innate nature, we are able to maintain
sweetness, however difficult or challenging the
situation might be.
Soul Sustenance
Repairing the Engine of Your Consciousness
You can spend your life driving a car and never
know what's wrong when it breaks down. You are
then completely at the mercy of others to repair
it. At that moment you probably think to
yourself, "God, I wish I knew how this thing
works..." Sounds familiar? Unfortunately, God
cannot help with car mechanics!
It's almost the same with your inner self. The
presence of any stress, or any form of
mental/emotional pain, is a signal that
something has broken down inside the engine of
your consciousness. If at that moment you don't
know who you are, and how you work, how will you
repair things in the inner self when they break
down? We are not talking about the body here. If
you have something seriously wrong with your
body you obviously need to see a doctor. But
even then, if you are a little enlightened
spiritually, you know that the original cause of
your physical disease lies within your
consciousness, your state of mind, your feelings
and emotions, which, in turn, lies in your
beliefs, most of which lie deep down in your
subconscious. So, if repairs are to be carried
inside your consciousness (to keep the mind and
body functioning smoothly) you need to know
certain things - essential things - about your
spirit, mind and heart. That's what spiritual
knowledge is all about. Spiritual knowledge is
the complete knowledge of the spirit (or soul)
and how it works. Fortunately, the Supreme
Spirit (or God) can help us with this knowledge
that he alone possesses!
Message for the day
The one who works to remove the sorrow of others
is the one who is loved by all.
Projection:
When there is the one aim of helping to remove
the sorrow of others, there will be nothing
negative while dealing with others. There will
also be no expectations from others. Working
with the natural desire to bring benefit to as
many as possible, enables one to continue to
contribute to whatever extent possible.
Solution:
When I am able to have this one desire of
helping others be more happy, I am able to make
a contribution for others' happiness and
progress. I then find that others naturally
appreciate my selfless contribution and their
good wishes help me feel light and experience
progress.
