Manage Emotions
When the energy of our consciousness is out of our
control - the mind is agitated. We are being emotional.
The solution is to detach from the inner storms, stand
back and observe the hurricane pass. Detached
observation withdraws the energy which your emotions
require to sustain themselves. When you watch your own
anger, it dies. If you don't detach from it, and observe
it ...it will be your master.
Happiness
We usually look for happiness in all that we do. Unless
there is an experience of attainment or visible fruit
seen, we are not inspired to do the task. With such an
attitude, although we do experience happiness for some
time, we do not find it long lasting. Real and permanent
happiness comes from our commitment towards our aim.
When we are focused on that, the little things that we
have to do which don't give us immediate happiness or
which are difficult for us, don't stop us. We continue
to move forward with happiness towards our aim.
Understanding Fear
Everyone, when they are young, knows what their destiny
is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear
and everything is possible. They are not afraid to
dream, and to wish for everything they would like to see
happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a
mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be
impossible for them to realize their destiny... There is
only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve:
the fear of failure. Fear is an energy that puts a brake
on you and prevents you from doing what you want and
aiming where you want to go. It blocks you in the
communication and expression of what you want to say.
Fear makes you hide, suppress and not express the most
attractive; the most beautiful part of your inner self.
Fear has an influence on our capacity to reason,
discriminate and take decisions. It makes us doubt, it
makes us indecisive even in the simplest decisions of
our lives. Fear does not allow your energy to flow, and
that weakens your state of wellbeing and general health.
Fear locks you into yourself and makes you become
indecisive. It is a shadow over your inner self that
prevents you from acting with ease and fluidity. It
reduces your capacity of expression, of being yourself,
of dealing with life and flowing in it.

Creating Positive Habits
Some habits do not upset us, but others can cause
irritation, frustration and desperation. We want to rid
ourselves of them: but how? When we look at the creation
and fulfillment of thoughts, it looks like a closed
system: the thoughts lead to actions, the actions create
a series of impressions (sanskars), and these
impressions are responsible for similar thoughts, which
lead us to similar actions, this is a vicious cycle. If
we want to change a habit, then where do we start? In
other words, where do we change the system or how do we
get out of the cycle? First of all, we can try changing
our negative actions: for example, stop a mental
negative habit like anger or a physical one like
drinking. In many cases, although we change our
behavior, but because we have not understood deeply why
we wanted to do it, is quite possible that one day we
will go back to this old habit. We can try changing this
system in our subconscious. By analyzing what is
recorded in our subconscious, through different
therapies, the results are not altogether satisfactory.
There is always some traumatic event, or painful
experience behind a fear which causes us to cling on to
a negative habit. And although we can see and recognize
our fears and anxieties, if we do not replace them with
something better, with a more beneficial and healthier
alternative, very often we will feel tempted to cling on
to these old systems, even though they do not work and
they make us unhappy. To eliminate certain things we
have recorded in our subconscious, meditation and
silence are the most effect non-violent methods. Another
method is to try and change our beliefs with positive
affirmations (thoughts) that strengthen our willpower,
and thus introduce a new habit to replace the old one.
It is vital not to repeat this affirmation mechanically,
but to introduce it into the system of beliefs we hold,
and act as if we already were what we express in this
affirmation.
Message for the day
The one who is powerful shows the practical proof of
success instead of just talking about it.
Projection:
It is usually very easy for us to talk about how to do
things best, it is as much easy to tell others and give
directions. But the one who is powerful is not just
satisfied with mere words or proving to others about his
success. He is more concerned more about being
successful.
Solution:
We need to check if we are applying in our life what we
are talking about. We need to see to it that whatever we
speak about, we must put into practice. Only then will
we find improvement and progress in our life. Then there
will be no more the need to talk about our success but
our life will reveal how successful we are. We will then
be an inspiration to many.
