> > Your mindset is the key! Attitudes, perceptions, habits & beliefs create your mindset.
> > It shapes the way you think, feel & act. Is your mindset limiting or empowering you?

> > Discovering Natural Virtues / Qualities
> > Meditation enables us to achieve self-awareness and self-realization (a true sense of who we really are), and discover our basic qualities or specialties, which lay hidden within each of us.
> > 1. Use a flower as a basis for meditation. You should be completely focused on the flower, and no other thoughts should enter your mind.
> > 3. How might the qualities of the flower reflect aspects of your self?
> > 4. Now consider each different characteristic you have given the flower. Think about each of it in terms of how it might correspond to your personality.
> > 5. If the flower has any negative aspects (is one of the petals drying out?), what might this be telling you about yourself? Concentrate on repairing the negative, making your self-image wholly positive.
> > 6. Connect with the flower in this way, until you feel that the beauties you see are a direct reflection of your virtues.
> > In the above exercise, the form of the flower's many petals may be seen to correspond to your qualities; the fragrance may correspond to the quality of your thoughts; and the colour may refer to some of your positive moods or emotions (green for your love of the world, red for calm assertion (positive aggression), blue for sympathy). What you see, in the moment of meditation, is what you are.

> > Message for the day

> > To be ready before time is to be able to give the best in situations.
> > Expression:
> > Each situation has something new to teach and there is something to learn from it. For the one who learns from every situation, there is progress. Such a person is able to be ready before time. So when the challenging situation does come up, he is well equipped with whatever is necessary and he is able to give his best.
> > Experience:
> > When I am able to understand the fact that all life's situations are just training for me, I am able to learn from everything that happens. I am able to build up and use my inner powers more and more and I find myself moving towards perfection with each passing moment.
