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.
