Self Transformation (Change) (Part 2)
Here are some practical reminders and steps we can take to grow spiritually and
bring out transformation (change) in ourselves:
Daily practice
Having the inner discipline to practise meditation by one's self is necessary because,
in reality, we have to be self-reliant as only we can step into our mind and bring
it long-term benefit. The mind needs to relax and to refresh itself if a person
is to feel positive and strong to live each day peacefully and effectively. When
this is recognized, time for inner silence every day becomes a personal priority.
Start each day with positive silence. Before work, breakfast, or doing anything,
let us step inside the self for a little while. In this space of introspection (self-observation),
we can connect with our original spiritual qualities, charging up our internal battery
with positive thoughts for the day ahead.
At the end of the day, we can remove any remaining thoughts of past actions - after
all 'past is past' - and send our good wishes where they are needed.
The daily practice of morning preparation and evening clearing, keeps the mind healthy.
A healthy mind is light and focused, not disturbed, or burdened easily.

Message for the day 24-02-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
To stay in our self-respect is to achieve success.
Projection: The opinion of the self is usually based on those around us specially
on those who are important to us. We usually find our thoughts being swayed by whatever
we hear from others about us. As we continue to hear from others we begin to believe
what we hear and consider ourselves the same.
Solution: We need to recognise our own uniqueness and speciality and make
conscious effort to remember and work with them. The more we do this we will be
able to maintain our own self-respect. Then we will not be influenced by any criticism
but will continue to work for our success.
