Your Vision
When someone's feeling low, you can help them
restore their self-belief by keeping a firm,
clear vision of their goodness and what makes
them special.
Increase their self value by letting your vision
be drawn to the diamonds (their specialities),
rather than any stones (their defects).
Take a gentle encouraging approach and never
give up on anyone.
Generosity
Generosity means more than just giving. It also
means to cooperate with
others. The greatest act of generosity is to see
beyond the weaknesses
and mistakes of others, helping them to
recognize their innate value.
Emerging Positive Thoughts From My Values
Positive thoughts emerge from your values and
may be experienced as:
Confidence
Contentment
Cooperation
Enthusiasm
Generosity
Happiness
Harmony

Let's look at some examples of positive thoughts
(with respect to the above values):

of whoever possesses it, and brings out a smile
in others.
* Love: Be as enthusiastic with the
success of others as you are with your own.
* Honesty: If I am honest in all my
actions, I will never be afraid.
* Respect: The only way of receiving
respect is to give it first.
* Mercy: Do not lose hope in those that
have lost hope.

Resolving Conflicts in Relationships (Part 2)
During a conflict, it is good to realize that
the energy that you put into the conflict
will possibly be the quality of energy that you
will receive in return. This is the law
of reciprocity (cause and effect). On a
subtle level, we radiate according to our
attitude, and on a physical level, we radiate
according to our behavior. What we transmit on a
subtle or/and physical level will return to us
in a similar way; unless the ‘other’ is wiser
and decides not to give us back the same
negative energy, but rather to treat us in
exchange with a positive attitude and pro-active
behavior. That way, that person won't bring
about a dependence inside us, but rather they
will help us to free ourselves of our own
negativity.
Often, conflict between two people happens
because we do not get the result in a
relationship that we want; we are stuck to
getting a specific result and we allow our
happiness to depend on getting it. On not
getting it, we use a wrong method; we generate a
conflict, we feel ourselves to be victims, we
blame the other, we project our pain onto them;
all of this under the belief that others - the
other - is who makes us happy or unhappy. This
is a false belief. When your happiness depends
on your expectations being fulfilled, it is
difficult to be happy in a constant way. Often
expectations are disguised desires, and where
there are desires there is fear - the fear of
not getting what you want. When you don't get it
you get unhappy and, in so doing, you keep
happiness away from you. It is good to set
yourself goals of peaceful relationships, but if
they are not fulfilled or if these goals take
time to achieve, don't lose your sense of
wellbeing. Your happiness is a much more
valuable treasure than the external achievement
of your expectations and of those that others
have of you.
Message for the day
To have respect for the self constantly is to
experience progress.
Expression:
The one who has respect for
the self is not dependent on external inputs for
having a good state of mind. To have respect for
the self means to have the right state of mind
and the right way of working with the self
specially when things are not going well. It
means to constantly express the positivity that
is within.
Experience:
When I am able to give
respect for the self under all circumstances I
am able to experience constant progress.
Especially when I am not able to achieve the
desired results or when I am not able to be
successful, at that time I need to be good to
myself. Then I will be able to be the best and
do the best with what I have. So I will be able
to experience constant progress.
