The Lamp Of Hope
You create the future basing yourself on what you think, feel and do in the present.
If you act according to your values, it is easy for you to trust in your destiny.
That strengthens your hope that all will go well, and, if it doesn’t, you know and
trust your inner resources or treasures to be able to deal with things and change.
That trust feeds the enthusiasm, the motor energy that, along with motivation and
passion, helps us to advance.
When you lose courage and you feel weak, when you feel insecure and do not see with
clarity where to go towards, hope lights the way for you to carry on going forward.
If you fall, get up again and carry on looking ahead. Don't look back. Don't let
your past be a burden that is too heavy and prevents you from advancing. Focus your
vision on your objective and on all your potential to achieve it.
Whatever happens, keep the lamp of hope lit. You can. You will achieve it. Change
will become reality. You will free yourself from the shadows of fears, blockages
and the other limitations that weaken you.
Live each situation as an opportunity. Learn from criticism and failures. On living
life as a constant opportunity for personal growth and learning, you keep hope always
alive.
Give yourself moments of silence on beginning each day, during the day and on finishing
the day, to connect with your inner self. That way your awareness stays
awake, the lamp of your hope, your motivation and your values remains lit.

Message for the day 16-05-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
Detachment gives the power to be uninfluenced by desires.
Projection: When we are able to use the power of detachment that is within
us, we are able to go beyond the attraction of things even whilst using them. We
will be able to be in the consciousness that we are the true masters who use all
things as and when needed, while being uninfluenced by them.
Solution: When we find ourselves having a desire we should remind ourselves
that we are the ones who are the creators of things. So we are the ones who influence
and not the ones who are influenced by the creation. This will easily make us detached
from the things that we are using.
