When To Say Yes And When No
When you are faced with different situations or opportunities, which do you say yes
to and which do you say no to?
In order to decide, it is important to keep the vision of your dream and what you
the soul really wants, in front of you. Be aware of what is essential for you. From
this space of inner focus, we should see which of these situations/opportunities
are going in the direction of your dream, what is essential and what takes you away
from your dream; also be aware that sometimes situations are like ‘mirages’
(illusions) that seem to offer something easy and attractive, but which distance
you from the essential or the truth. They are opportunities that seem easier and,
out of laziness, it would be easier to say yes. But within you, if you listen, you
know that, in the long term, you will not be happy, content and peaceful given that
you have avoided or are running away from the challenge, you haven't listened to
your heart. We need to refuse to allow ourselves to be carried by the current.
When you say yes to the proposal, situation or action that is close to your essence
of your spirit, it is a yes in which there is not submission, where you do not lose
your freedom or your self-esteem. It is a yes with the certainty
that, learning from what life offers you; you and others will move forward in a
positive sense.

Message for the day 14-05-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
The ones who are detached watch the challenges that come their way as a game.
Projection: There would definitely be many difficult situations that come
our way, but if we are detached, we will not become confused. Detachment gives us
the power to observe all the situations just as we would observe a game. We would
not feel caught up, but will be able to enjoy under all circumstances.
Solution: If there is any situation where we feel helpless we need to develop
the power of detachment. We should practice looking at the situation just as we
would watch a play. Then we can feel light and enjoy the different turns that the
situation takes.
