Message for the day 19-02-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
The practice of positivity enables us to be stable under all circumstances.
Projection: Usually we find ourselves reacting negatively to situations.
At such times we want to maintain a positive attitude but are not able to. We then
work hard and think of ways to change the negative situation to a positive one.
A lot of time and effort goes into it and we tend to feel tired.
Solution: The solution lies in maintaining our own positivity rather than
trying to change negative into positive. When we have a long time of practice of
working with our inner positivity we will be able to be positive even in the most
negative situation. Then we will be saved the effort of having to work at transforming
our negativity.
