Self Transformation (Change) (Part 7)
Over the last few days, we have shared with you some practical reminders and steps
we can take to grow spiritually and bring out transformation (change) in ourselves.
Noted below is the last of the series, but the most important one.
Get Started!
The main part of any journey is to start. Sometimes we hesitate, sometimes we make
excuses, but we must not give in to these thoughts. When we accept the challenge
to try, the journey begins. When we agree to take the first steps, success is there
waiting for us. Faith in ourselves brings optimism to what we do. Optimism and faith
open the Horizon of Possibility, and I begin to see what good could be there on
the spiritual path, which as yet, I cannot see, or even imagine.
It is said, 'Nothing ventured (attempted), nothing gained.' So why not venture?
Why not gain?

Message for the day 01-03-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
Where there is courage there is success.
Projection: When we are involved in a task, we sometimes experience setbacks.
Such setbacks often make us lose our confidence and we no longer have faith that
we will succeed in the task. We then lose all courage to go ahead with the task
and lose every chance of achieving what we have to.
Solution: We need to remind ourselves that we achieve success to the extent
that we have courage. We need to make effort to maintain our courage even during
the most difficult circumstances. Only when we do this will we continue to put in
effort, which will bring us success at the right time.
