Crossing Negative Circumstances/Situations (Part 3)
In order to have a wider perception and not to drown in any negative situation i.e.
not to get affected by it, you can position yourself in a positive way. Instead of
losing respect for the self and developing a negative consciousness, if you make
your consciousness positive and stabilize yourself in respect towards yourself,
in maintaining your positive and powerful self-esteem and a healthy distance (not
necessarily physical distance, but rather by not letting the situation absorb you),
you will be able to have an eagle's vision. From above, everything looks smaller.
It is easier to get over something small. You can. “I am a victorious soul” or “I
am a destroyer of obstacles” are examples of positive consciousness.
Whatever happens, it is important to always be aware that you create your thoughts
and you allow the situations to have greater or lesser impact inside you, according
to how you see them. Learn to create thoughts full of courage, trust and determination.
Spirituality and the practice of meditation helps you do just that. Those thoughts,
charged with positive energy, will help you to allow each situation to pass; to
really overcome it and leave it behind; for it not to remain alive in your thoughts
or in your memory. With the power of a mind that creates thoughts full of good energy,
wherever you go, you will create a pleasant atmosphere. Your vibrations
will create spaces full of beauty, love, trust and peacefulness; spaces where all
those who enter will remove their masks and will connect again with their true self.

Message for the day 14-08-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
To change means to experience progress.
Expression: Whenever there is a desire to bring about a change, there is
also a simultaneous intense feeling to find a change instantly – and fully. Yet
this does not always happen. However, true change is that in which there is at least
a little change. When there is constant effort put in to be better and to do better,
then naturally the best results are visible, even if there is not perfection seen
overnight.
Experience: When I bring about a change constantly, in whatever little way
I can, I am able to experience constant progress. I do not have great expectations,
but will be satisfied with the little changes that I make and will have the confidence
to go on putting in effort. Even with the little results that I attain I will be
able to take encouragement constantly. I am thus able to move on towards perfection.
