Inspirational Wisdom Buddha (Part-04)

Armless Girl Gets A Pilot License

Jessica Cox, 25, a girl born without arms, stands inside an aircraft. The girl from Tucson, Arizona got the Sport Pilot certificate lately and became the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet.

Jessica Cox of Tucson was born without arms, but that has only stopped her from doing one thing: using the word "can't."

Her latest flight into the seemingly impossible is becoming the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet.

With one foot manning the controls and the other delicately guiding the steering column, Cox, 25, soared to achieve a Sport Pilot certificate. Her certificate qualifies her to fly a light-sport aircraft to altitudes of 10,000 feet.

"She's a good pilot. She's rock solid," said Parrish Traweek, 42, the flying instructor at San Manuel's Ray Blair Airport.

Parrish Traweek runs PC Aircraft Maintenance and Flight Services and has trained many pilots, some of whom didn't come close to Cox's abilities.

"When she came up here driving a car," Traweek recalled, "I knew she'd have no problem flying a plane."

Doctors never learned why she was born without arms, but she figured out early on that she didn't want to use prosthetic devices

WHAT SORRY MEANS

Apologizing doesn't mean that you are right & the other is wrong.
It simply means that you value the relationship more than your ego..

HIGH AWARENESS

Natural vibrations

"I sing the body electric."

-- Walt Whitman

The water that makes up so much of our bodies is like ocean water. The salt crystals in this water vibrate at ever-changing frequencies. Our hearts are the emotional centers of our bodies, and they put out frequencies that are 10 times the power of the frequencies of our brains.

When we are happy, we vibrate at a higher frequency than when we are angry or sad. Our emotions change the chemical composition of the water in our systems. That's why happy tears taste different than tears of sadness.

Experiencing physical, emotional and mental stillness harmonizes the vibrational output of the body, heart and mind and we become stronger.

"The message we give our bodies -- one of irritation or acceptance -- is the message to which our bodies will answer."

-- Deb Shapiro, Your Body Speaks Your Mind

Personal growth can be a long hard journey

Valuing the moment

"... the only time you ever have in which to learn anything or see anything or feel anything, or express any feeling or emotion, or respond to an event, or grow, or heal, is this moment, because this is the only moment any of us ever gets. You’re only here now; you’re only alive in this moment."

-- Jon Kabat-Zinn

Many people regularly squander their time. They live under the assumption that they'll live forever. As a result, they don't value the present as a precious opportunity that will never come again.

Others continually race against time, trying to cram too many activities into each hour, and suffering stress in the process.

In our view, we are more effective and most happy when we balance being and doing. We continually ask ourselves what’s most important to get done. And we’re learning to BE -- fully present -- when we do. We also regularly give ourselves permission to relax.

Make today really matter. It's all you'll ever have.

"Very few of us know how much we can put into life if we use it properly, wisely, and economically. Let us economize our time -- lifetimes ebb away before we wake up, and that is why we do not realize the value of the immortal time God has given us."

-- Paramahansa Yogananda

Pay attention to your emotions

"Emotions are the next frontier to be understood and conquered. To manage our emotions is not to drug them or suppress them, but to understand them so that we can intelligently direct our emotional energies and intentions.... It's time for human beings to grow up emotionally, to mature into emotionally managed and responsible citizens. No magic pill will do it."

-- Doc Childre

Many of us believe that we need to keep a tight lid on our emotions. We fear that if we ever allow these emotions to be expressed, they will do serious damage.

But if we summon up the courage to truly feel our emotions, we discover that they don't last. The monster in the closet turns out to be a pussycat. In fact, if we are willing to experience our emotions completely, without resistance of any kind, they burn themselves out in only a few minutes.

The only thing that keeps emotions alive within you over long periods is your unwillingness to acknowledge them.

"By starving emotions we become humorless, rigid and stereotyped; by repressing them we become literal, reformatory and holier-than-thou; encouraged, they perfume life; discouraged, they poison it."

-- Joseph Collins

Be, do and have

"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you love to do, in order to have what you want."

-- Margaret Young

The formula for success is Be, Do, Have. If we seek abundance, we must be abundant in spirit. We can begin to cultivate spiritual wealth by opening our hearts in gratitude.

Start a gratitude journal today. Each evening, write down at least 5 things for which you are grateful. This simple tool will help you open your eyes to the abundance of your world right now.

"Who does not thank for little will not thank for much."

-- Estonian proverb

Relate to yourself through your journal

"To write spiritually is to engage in a search for authentic language. You’ll find your truth by writing your way to it."

-- Patrice Vecchione

Who would allow you to totally ignore, abuse, laugh with, swear at, shed tears on, get angry at and be totally honest with him/her? Your journal does.

Your journal is an unconditional friend. It does not reject, manipulate, judge, laugh at or ridicule you. It’s always there for you. So be honest with your best friend and it will help you discover who you are.

"The positive thing about writing is that you connect with yourself in the deepest way, and that's heaven. You get a chance to know who you are, to know what you think. You begin to have a relationship with your mind."

-- Natalie Goldberg

Support others with your presence

"The purpose of therapy is not to remove suffering but TO MOVE THROUGH IT to an enlarged consciousness that can sustain the polarity of painful opposites."

-- James Hollis

How do we support others who are suffering?

When we understand how soul works through us, we begin to see how pain generates the impulse to change. We see that our aim in supporting someone is NOT to get rid of their pain and suffering. Instead, we want to assist them to understand what the pain is trying to teach them -- to find meaning in their distress.

Often, all we need do is be fully present to them. It also helps to be present to our own experience and genuine in our feelings. Living our own truth helps create the space for the other person to live theirs.

"The first duty of love is to listen."

-- Paul Tillich

"With the gift of listening comes the gift of healing."

-- Catherine de Hueck Doherty

What is your destiny?

"The significant business of your life is alive and well, awaiting discovery, within your very soul. You and I were born to come into ourselves as complete and distinctive persons. Accepting this, we build a valuable life."

-- Marsha Sinetar

What is the significant business of your life? What is your purpose? Andrew Schneider says that purpose "is more than just having a direction. It is about one’s place in the universe. It is the journey of finding that place and being there and living fully whatever that place is. It is your own unique place that nobody else has, had, or will have."

How would you describe your place in the universe?

"We become powerful in the face of our fears when we have a sense that we make a difference in this world. Affirmations of purpose communicate the truth that we are all meaningful participants in this Universe and that we are worthy of giving and receiving love. Some affirmations of purpose are:
- I know that I count and I act as though I do.
- I spread warmth and love everywhere I go.
- I am a healing force in the Universe."

-- Susan Jeffers

"The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for."

-- Joseph Addison

Live now

"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives."

-- Annie Dillard

We lose the power of the moment because we're so rarely in it. We're reliving the past or speculating about the future. We continue to believe that tomorrow's the day when I'll be more capable, more wealthy, more fit and more loving. Meanwhile, I'm just putting in time, dreaming of better things but not making any concrete move to realize them.

When you find yourself thinking of the future or the past, bring your awareness into the present moment. Really experience how you feel and what’s happening around you, without judgment. If we can treasure each moment, our lives will be rich, no matter what we have accomplished.

"Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered for they are gone forever."

-- Horace Mann

"If, before going to bed every night, you will tear a page from the calendar, and remark, 'there goes another day of my life, never to return,' you will become time conscious."

-- A. B. Zu Tavern

GOOD MORNING

"Photobucket">

Choose differently today

Choose differently today

"It is always your next move."

-- Napoleon Hill

The great benefit of heightened awareness is that we have more choice in how we live our lives. At any moment, we can purposefully choose a new experience for ourselves. We can choose to pay attention, breathe more deeply, laugh, rest, play, appreciate, do something different - the possibilities are endless.

Whenever you remember, TAKE YOURSELF OFF AUTO-PILOT and really examine your situation. Take charge and make a choice that will enrich your experience. At the end of the day, reflect on what happened and how you felt when you chose a new line of thought, feeling or action.

"We cannot tell what may happen to us in the strange medley of life. But we can decide what happens in us -- how we can take it, what we do with it -- and that is what really counts in the end."

-- Joseph Fort Newton

"When a defining moment comes along, you can do one of two things. Define the moment, or let the moment define you."

-- Tin Cup (the movie)

"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."

-- Neil Peart

A Sense of closure

A Sense of Closure
Cutting Cords

In every relationship, people are constantly exchanging energy that can become a chord connecting two people. This energetic cord forms just below the breastbone and can remain long after a relationship has ended. This unbroken cord may leave an open channel between you and another person, through which emotions and energy can continue to flow. If you are unaware that the chord exists, it is easy to feel the other person’s emotions and mistakenly think that they are yours. Besides the fact that this can limit the amount of closure you can experience in a relationship, letting this cord remain intact can leave you with a continued sense of sadness while creating feelings of lethargy as your own energy is sapped from you. Cutting the cord can help you separate yourself from old baggage, unnecessary attachments, and release you from connections that are no longer serving you.

Finding and cutting unwanted cords is a simple, gentle process that is best done alone and when you are relaxed. It is important that you are strong in your intention to release the chord between you and someone else. To begin, breathe deeply and perform a simple centering meditation. When you are ready, visualize or sense the chords that are connecting you to other people. Run your fingers through the cords to separate them until you find the cord you wish to sever. There is no need to worry, because the chord you need to sever will feel just right. When you have found it, determine where the cut should be made and then visualize the cord being cleanly cut. If you need assistance, Archangel Michael can be called upon to help you with his sword. Afterwards, if you feel that cutting the chord has left spaces in your energy field, then visualize those spaces being filled with healing sunlight.

There may be times where cutting a cord can help free a relative or loved one to reach new stages of growth. You’re not severing a relationship, but you are severing the chords that are no longer serving you both. At other times, a cord may simply refuse to be cut because it is still serving a higher purpose. It is also important to remember that cutting a cord with someone is not a replacement for doing your emotional work with people. It can, however, be an enactment of that work upon its completion. In any case, cutting a relationship cord should always be viewed as a positive and nurturing act. By cutting the cords that no longer need to be there, you are setting yourself and others free from the ties that bind.

LETTING GO OF SORROW

Letting Go of Sorrow
If I allow bitterness and resentment to fester inside, it will make my relationships guarded and unsatisfying. The more I close down to others, the more I become a stranger to myself. By letting go of sorrow and negativity, I can keep my nature open and loving. Remaining open to life, with its constant adventures and opportunities to grow, is the only way to reach my full potential.

Happiness is your property

Happiness Is Your Property
No matter what adverse situations come in front of you, no matter how many obstacles come in front of you, your happiness should not disappear. An obstacle that comes will also go away. That obstacle comes and goes away but what belongs to you should not go. So, happiness is your property. Whenever an obstacle comes, just think that it has come to go away. When a guest comes to your home, it isn't that he has come as a guest and will go away having taken everything from your home. So an obstacle has come and it will go away but it should not take away your happiness. Happiness should always remain with you.

MESSAGE FOR THE DAY

Message for the Day

The one who is free from complaints is the one who becomes complete.

Projection:
When things go wrong it is the usual reaction to complain, against
situations or others, and to find fault with them. When we are busy
complaining we will not be able to make any effort to make any
improvement in ourselves.

Solution:
Whenever we find ourselves complaining we need to see what we can
do to bring about a change instead of just complaining. There would
surely be something that we can do. Slowly as we begin to implement
each thing that we learn, we find ourselves moving forward towards
our own perfection.

ALL IS MIND

All is mind

"I want to know the thoughts of God;
the rest are details."

-- Albert Einstein

Everything -- absolutely everything -- that happens in our lives has a spiritual cause. Events on all other levels -- mental, emotional and physical -- are only effects.

When we are struggling with any challenge, whether it be ill health, a lack of money, a lost job, poor relationships, an accident, whatever -- we need to look for the spiritual learning. We can ask ourselves, "What quality does my soul want me to live more fully?"

"If you start to think the problem is ‘out there,’ stop yourself. That thought is the problem."

-- Stephen Covey

BEAUTIFUL INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE

When You Understand (Part 1)

When you understand that you are not your body and that Who You Are never can, and never will, die, AND . . . when you understand that you will never be condemned by a judgmental, angry, and vindictive God . . . THEN will your lifelong worries about your happy survival be over. The end of these worries will transform you completely, causing you to interact with the world in an entirely new way. You will become, quite literally, a New Human. You will live, quite naturally, a New Spirituality. And you will create, quite spontaneously, a New Society.

The New Revelations Neale Donald Walsch Page 329

BEAUTIFUL MANNERS

Beautiful Manners

A person of wisdom and spirituality has very beautiful manners that have grown from genuine respect and love for the whole of humanity. Manners in this sense have nothing to do with culture or education: it is simply a question of humility. When we are at the receiving end of such manners, we feel that some deeper part of us has been honoured. In fact, none of us deserves anything less.

Inspirational Message

Release the Joy in Another's Heart (Part 2)

With the sharing of a feeling, the telling of a truth, the ending of anger, the healing of judgment. With the willingness to listen, and the willingness to speak. With the decision to forgive, and the choice to release. With the commitment to give, and the grace to receive. I tell you there are a thousand ways to release the joy in the heart of another. Nay, a thousand times a thousand. And in the moment you decide to do so, you will know how.

Friendship With God Neale Donald Walsch

A PEACEFUL BEING

You fill your life with peace when you discover you only have to be yourself, to be what you have always been - a peaceful being.

GREAT THOUGHTS

GREAT THOUGHTS

If you cant be a pencil to write anyone's happiness,then try at least to be a nice rubber to erase everyone's sorrows.Light candles instead of cursing darkness.

MAKING FAITH WORK

Ability is what you're capable of doing.

God sends us miracles everyday.We just have to train our eyes to be aware of them!!

Motivation determines what you do.

Attitude determines how well you do it.

Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around

.

Knowledge is useless unless and until we put it to good use ..

Just like faith---

A priest and a rabbi go to watch a boxing match ..

Before the fight begins, one of the boxers makes a sign of

the cross .. The Rabbi asks the priest,

"What does that mean?"

"Not a damn thing if He's not willing to fight or cannot fight"

answers the Priest .....

See, Faith has to made whole by working on it .. by working with it

Otherwise it becomes like a disembodied spirit ...

just wandering around ....

RESPECT

Respect
When I learn to respect myself, other people will respect me. How can I develop respect for myself? By keeping my mind positive and encouraging myself to grow and change for the better. Demanding respect because of my position or background is simply arrogance. On the other hand, listening with humility and valuing other people's advise naturally earns me respect. I get back exactly what I give out.

CALM

Calm
In tune with my inner rhythm, I draw wisdom from the past, allowing the future to shape itself around me. My mind is a sanctuary where shafts of golden sunlight laze as though resting in the aisles of some great cathedral. Everything is as it should be. I remain simple in the midst of complexity, sure at times of unease, and clear in the company of others.

YOUR THOUGHTS

Your Thoughts

Since you alone are responsible for your thoughts,
only you can change them.

You will want to change them
when you realize that each thought creates
according to its own nature.

Remember that the law works at all times
and that you are always demonstrating
according to the kind of thoughts you habitually entertain.

Therefore, start now to think only those thoughts
that will bring you health and happiness.

Paramahansa Yogananda

PATIENCE

Patience
Patience is a virtue and a power too. Patience tells us that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and that we get over there one step at a time. Patience teaches us not to rush. Knowing that there is a reason and a season for everything it enables us to smile at the challenges, realizing that there is an answer to every problem. And, even though we cannot see it, yet there is awareness that within every crisis lies an opportunity.

SEEING THINGS TRULY

Seeing things truly
We tend to see things not as they are but as we are. Becoming quiet and simple inside is a first step to seeing things truly.

SUSAN JEFFER'S

YOU TRULY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
IN THE WORLD
by Susan Jeffers, Ph.D.

As I look around, I notice that there are too few of us who have the understanding at the deepest level of our being that our lives really make a difference...that our actions really do contribute to the pool of energy that defines this world. If this describes how you feel about yourself, let me give you a wonderful exercise that I describe in Embracing Uncertainty to change this erroneous self-perception. I call it "The Act-As-If Exercise"...and it's a simple yet profoundly effective way to improve the way you feel about yourself. It goes like this:

---First, ask yourself a very important, and ultimately empowering, question...

"If I truly make a positive difference in this world, what would I be doing?"

You ask yourself this question in relation to all parts of your life that include your family, your friends, your job, your community, the world.

---Then, list all the actions you would take if you truly did believe that you made a positive difference. Let all your answers come from the best of who you are...your Higher Self...the part of you that is loving, giving, caring and all good things.

Let's use your job as an example. You ask yourself, "If I truly make a difference at my job, what would I be doing?" Your "act-as-if" list of answers might look like this...

1. If I truly make a difference, I would arrive on time.
   
2. If I truly make a difference, I would be a self-starter, advancing the goals of my employer.
   
3. If I truly make a difference, I would be respectful of my co- workers and help them whenever possible.
   
4. If I truly make a difference, I would stop complaining about things going on at my work. (That may be the hardest task of all!)

Your challenge is to create a wonderful environment for yourself and everyone around you. It doesn't matter at what level of the company you function - from the lowest on the totem pole to the highest. Your sense of caring and commitment is important no matter where you find yourself.

Now that you have your job handled, go on to make the same kind of "act-as-if" list for all the other areas of your life.

---Once you have created one or more of your lists, it is then time to, step-by-step, take action and "become" the person you have described on your lists. In the case of your job, you arrive on time, you become a self-starter, you advance the goals of your employer, you are loving toward your co-workers, and you stop complaining! In this way, you are truly "acting-as-if" you are making a difference!

---Now for the great news: There comes that great day when you don't have to "act-as-if" any longer. You truly KNOW that your life makes a difference. In Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway® I introduce you to a woman who transformed her experience at her job by using this wonderful "act-as-if" exercise. As she truly became involved in making a difference, the job she hated became a job that gave her joy. And ultimately she realized just how much of a difference she could make.

As we consciously and patiently focus on this confidence-giving game of "act-as-if" in all areas of our lives, we slowly begin to feel a sense of worth and purpose. We ultimately live into the awesomely wonderful understanding of just how large a difference we can truly make. We learn that whether in the enclosed space of our home or out in the vastness of the world, every action we take helps determine whether this is a world filled with negativity or a world filled with peace and love. Awesome, indeed!

You can see that for many of us, "acting-as-if" comes before "feeling-as-if". You can also see that the process of "acting-as-if" is simple, but it requires us to pay attention and constantly ask ourselves the important question, "If I truly make a difference, what would I be doing?" We do this until we truly understand that WE TRULY DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Every word that we speak, every action we take affects the world around us.

Along the way, we may notice that the lingering pain of past and present hurts can make positive actions difficult. Not to worry...as we begin radiating our love into this world, so many of the hurts of the past begin to fall away and are replaced with the joy that comes from a life of caring and involvement. Again, it is a step-by-step process and little-by-little our tears of unhappiness are replaced by tears of joy. That's certainly the way it was for me.

To know that we really make a difference...to know that we really count...is the most powerful and vital piece of information we can have. It introduces a whole new dimension to our being - that of responsibility. Understand that a sense of responsibility that comes from a realization of our inner power is not a burden. It enables us to leave behind the frightened ego and jump to the highest part of who we are. It allows us to create acts of love that make us feel alive and joyful...even blissful. At such times, we know we have found our true Home...that magical place within where we all yearn to dwell. We have only to begin the Journey and, with each step forward, we find ourselves a little bit closer to Home.

Offer Up

Offer Up
Free yourself from forcing, expecting or wanting someone to receive what you think they should take - it could be your idea, opinion, or an opportunity you think they should accept - you can't make anyone take anything - your own experience probably confirms this. Offer humbly. Offer gently. Offer as if you are a master, and then let go, and retire like a shy child. When you can dance the dance between being master and child, you'll be surprised how much more others will accept what you have to say, and how much more they appreciate your offerings

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Let Go of Emotions Emotions can feel uncontrollable - we have no choice but to experience them. But to live by our emotions is to live under a tyrant's rule. Acknowledge emotions for what they are, without shame or guilt, and then allow them to pass through you like wind moving through the leaves of a tree. Remember that it is only with your permission that feelings can change the way you behave

GOOD FEELINGS

Good Feelings
Good feelings for others are like ointments that heal wounds and re-establish friendships and relationships. Good feelings are generated in the mind, are transmitted through your attitude and are reflected in your eyes and smile. Smiling opens the heart and a glance can make miracles happen.

LOOK IN WARDS

Look Inwards
We all have three eyes. Two for looking out and one for looking in. Why would we want to look in when everything is happening 'out there'? Because the treasure we seek is inside, not outside. What is treasure? Beauty, truth, peace, happiness. You already have what you seek. You already are stunningly beautiful. You are already peaceful and loving. How come you don't know this? Simple, you never look inwards, beyond superficial memories or recent experiences, so you never see your own riches. Take a moment to stop, look in and see. Don't rush. Don't search. Just look. And be aware.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Stillness
Journey into the stillness of your inner being. Here, in the shade of your true self you will find true comfort and true support.

CONTENTMENT

Contentment
Contentment is the king of all virtues. A contented man lives naturally peaceful life. Remain happy with what is available and at the same time keep trying for better.

REMAIN POSITIVE

REMAIN POSITIVE

Remain Positive
If my mind is still enough, I can see the deeper meaning behind each situation. No matter how bad a problem may seem on the surface, if I remain positive eventually I will see how everything has worked out for the best.

HEAL YOURSELF

Heal Yourself
The deepest wounds we all carry are locked in our subconscious (out of our awareness). Deep memories and subtle impressions, from unfinished experience, rooted in the past. The pain from those wounds comes to revisit, to block and paralyse us in the moment called now. We all know it comes without warning - "Why am I feeling this way, I didn't mean to do that, I don't know what made me say that." Healing does not mean finding and treating every single inner scar which send it message to haunt us. It means going even deeper, past those wounds, beyond those distant memories and recording of unfinished business, to the core of our self, to the heart of our spirit, where we find the light and warmth of our own core qualities of love and peace. They are eternally present within us they are what we need to heal all our inner wounds. That's why this kind of deep healing is called spirituality and not therapy.

Positive Thinking Quotes

Positive Thinking Quotes

To See Our Inner Perfection Is To Be Free From Negativity !

23 September 2008, 17:32:26 | Mayura

To be clear and clean is to give others a chance to see what they are. When there is commitment to make oneself clear and pure from inside, there is the ability to recognize and remove all that is waste and unnecessary. There is honesty and sincerity with oneself and every step is taken to remove all that is not good. When there is the ability to do that, there is an ability also to become a mirror for others to see their own perfection. To keep ourselves free from negativity means to see our own inner perfection. We are not caught up with our visible negativity, but are able to connect to our inner qualities. We are honest with ourselves and are able to work for our own inner growth. This inner growth becomes a clear mirror for others too. ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Pass All Situations In Life With A Smile !

22 September 2008, 20:32:54 | Mayura

The one who is able to pass things is the one who is able to pass in all situations. When there is the ability to understand the significance of everything that happens and pass by things with lightness, there is also the ability to move forward in spite of difficult situations. So whatever happens, there is the awareness of the resources that are available and use them for further progress. So the one who is able to do this is able to be free from failing in situations. Since we are able to pass all the situations with a smile, we pass in the exam of life and get the result of satisfaction. We are not caught up with temporary challenges and situations, but are able to move forward in a powerful way. We use situations for taking us a step ahead. ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Our Thoughts Are Necessary To Be Put Into Practice !

19 September 2008, 19:10:50 | Mayura

The power of determination brings thought into practice. We do have a number of thoughts that we would like to put into practice. Most of the times it doesn't happen that way and they remain merely thoughts. It is necessary to strengthen such thoughts with the power of determination and we will be able to make them practical. Let us think of something that we wanted to do but could not bring into practice. Now let us take this thought once again and see why it is important for us to bring it into practice. Once we understand this we will be able to be determined to put it into practice. ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

The World May Change But The Inner Space Within Us Will Never Change !

18 September 2008, 00:53:01 | Mayura

There is nothing more certain than that the world will continue to change. Accepting and not resisting this, is the first and most important inner skill in this frenetically changing, modern world. Life tests us every day to see how well we have developed this ability. Equally, there is nothing more real than the inner space within each of us that never ever changes. We may change our thoughts, our feelings, even our sense of who we are, but we fail to visit the unchanging centre of our own self. The ability to be in this inner space, where our peace is found, when all around would prefer chaos and crisis, is the deepest spiritual change skill. It is the eye of the storm, it is the oasis in the desert, it is the place where peace is power. Call in today. You'll be surprised how much it can influence and change everything and everyone around you! ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Spread The Fragrance Of Your Virtues To All Like A Rose !

09 September 2008, 14:15:05 | Mayura

The one who is constantly spreading the fragrance of virtues is a spiritual rose. When there is constant awareness of being a spiritual rose, there is an awareness of the internal virtues too. So there is an expression of these virtues in all words and actions. Others are able to perceive and take benefit from these internal specialities, and this fragrance spreads around to others too. When we are able to keep ourselves connected with our specialities, we are able to experience the inner beauty. Like a rose, we keep spreading the fragrance of our virtues to all we come into contact with. So we are also able to get the love, good feelings and good wishes from everyone, thus enriching our own life. ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be A Trustee And Get In Touch With Internal Treasures !

08 September 2008, 17:32:34 | Mayura

To consider oneself a trustee is to use all treasures well. When there is the awareness of being a trustee of God, there is not only recognition but also good use of the internal treasures. These internal treasures are of virtues and specialities. All these are used wisely and well. Such a person is able to be loving and detached at the same time. When we have the consciousness of being a trustee, we are able to look within and get in touch with our own internal treasures. It gives us the consciousness of having respect for ourselves without developing any ego. We have no negative feelings when these treasures are not used or when situations demand more than what we feel we have. ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Enthusiasm Brings About Self Improvement !

04 September 2008, 18:58:43 | Mayura

To be enthusiastic is to be light constantly. The one who is enthusiastic looks for challenges and excuses for self-improvement. He is constantly moving forward in the most challenging situations. He uses all the available resources for personal growth and the benefit of others. His words and actions induce enthusiasm in others too. When he never let go of his enthusiasm in every moment of his life, he is able to be constantly light. This enables him to enjoy this moment, and ensures that he use it to the maximum for making his future better and bright. He also becomes a source of light for those around where they are able to take inspiration to make the best use of what they have. ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Being In Flow Means Accepting And Putting It To Good Use Before Passing It On !

02 September 2008, 19:19:43 | Mayura

Everything that comes to us, comes to pass or, more accurately, for us to pass on. Not just the money in our pocket, but wisdom, objects, ideas, even opportunities, all come to us, so that, at the right moment, we can pass them on. This is called flow. Being in the flow means being aware that the river of life is flowing to us at every moment. Being in the flow means accepting whatever comes and putting it to good use, before passing it on. Going with the flow means allowing whatever comes to move on freely, without holding on in any way. If we do not pass on, we are trying to block the flow, and that's when we feel pressure in our life. Pressure is always self-inflicted. Every time you feel 'under pressure' look at what you need to release and to pass on to someone else. Once you do you can ...relax...again. ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Team Work Helps In Personal Growth Of Everyone !

01 September 2008, 19:15:58 | Mayura

Faith in others wins cooperation from them. When we are working together, we need to have faith in the capabilities of those working with us by seeing their specialities and using them too. This will naturally create a healthy environment where everyone is working together as a team.

When we are able to have faith, we are able to create a positive environment where everyone is able to express his or her best potential. The task would be successful and there would be benefit and personal growth for everyone working in the team. ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Understand People and Have Faith In Them

30 August 2008, 16:31:15 | Mayura

To be connected with people's specialties is to have faith in them. Faith is more based on our perception of people rather than just their behaviour. When we have the habit of seeing specialties in each and every person, we are able to create space for the use of these specialties. This automatically reflects our faith in them and their ability to contribute. Let us make a firm practice of seeing at least one positive aspect in each and every person we come into contact with. Then we will be able to use this specialty in a practical way and help the other person also to use this specialty. In this way, we will be able to increase his capability and out faith in him. ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Keep In Mind The Law Of Sowing And Reaping !

28 August 2008, 20:04:39 | Mayura

If we recognise that all inner and outer effects or results in our lives have causes which can be found within ourselves, then we understand karma or the law of sowing and reaping. If we are aware that we have just awoken to this law, and that we are consciously live with this law in our awareness we will also be aware that we were asleep to this law before - perhaps for a long time, possibly many births. It is therefore highly likely we tried to break the law. What we did not know was we cannot break this law. We cannot take anything without having to pay it back at some future stage. We may receive but we may not take - there is a difference. If we have taken then we must payback. Any form of pain or discomfort - mental, emotional or physical - means it is payback time. The universal debt collector has come to knock on our door. Accounts are being settled. If you can regard all pain, from a bump on the head to an emotional crisis, as the settling of a debt, you will be using the oldest wisdom to respond to life in the most enlightened way. The destination, once all accounts are settled, and all debts paid, is true peace and real freedom. Peace of mind and freedom from all pain. ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

] Believe in your own success

Many types of ships ...

Believe in your own success

"What you believe yourself to be, you are."
-- Claude M. Bristol

Do you believe, deep down inside of you, that you can succeed in what you want to do?

Beliefs are strong, and they have the power to attract what is believed to us. If we doubt our ability to succeed, if we in fact believe we WON'T succeed, then sure enough, that's what will happen. What do you believe about yourself? You have the power to change your beliefs, and that will change your outcome. Set goals you believe you can accomplish. Your beliefs will shape your actions. As you achieve these goals you'll begin to believe you are capable of succeeding and of doing even more.

"It is better to believe than to disbelieve; in so doing you bring everything to the realm of possibility. "
-- Albert Einstein

"Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution."
-- Dr. David Schwartz

THOUGHTS

Radiate Light
Each one of us is a walking radiator. Mostly we radiate thoughts and attitudes. From deep within we radiate our state of being, and the essential, original and eternal state of every being is peaceful and loving. But we block and distort this energy with our attachments. Attachments turn love into fear, peace into anger and then distort our attitudes and actions towards others. This is neither relaxing for ourselves, or for those around us. Which is why detachment is the secret to living lightly and lovingly. To be a radiator that people come to for real warmth, what do you need to detach from today? If you don't detach then you will stay attached, and then you will see others and life itself as a threat, and your tension will keep them away. But they cannot threaten you. Only your dependency on a thing, or an idea, or an opinion can be threatened.

Staying Peaceful
Desires cause peace to disappear. You think that acquiring things will make you feel secure, but the reality is that the more you have the more fear there usually is of losing it, and the further you are from peace. Desires are the cause of all conflicts. When you want something and cannot get it you become frustrated. Learning to be free from desires is learning how to stay peaceful.

Resent Not
There are no justified resentments. To resent someone is to fall under the illusion that they are the cause of our suffering. No one can die from a snake bite. It's the poison that kills them. You may receive the poison of another’s words, or even just in a glance, but you don’t have to absorb it or allow it free passage through the veins of your consciousness. The consequence of not absorbing the poison of others is you never experience enmity towards others. And people notice when you have absolutely no enmity. It draws them close, it empowers them, it builds trust, it enables harmony to break out! It is only because the lion has no thought of killing the lamb that the lamb feels able to come so close.

Be Content
Wherever I am is wherever I am meant to be, whatever I am doing is whatever I am meant to be doing and whatever everyone else is doing is exactly what they are meant to be doing - this is contentment. If you do want to change where you are, or what you are doing, the first thing is to be content with wherever you are and whatever you are doing right now! Paradoxically that's what attracts opportunities and invitations to be somewhere else! Why? Because you are a living magnet, and contentment is one of your most attractive qualities. And the law of attraction says that according to your dominant thoughts so you will attract the people and circumstances into your life. Being content right now attracts the best possible future.
