Becoming Responsible For My Destiny (cont.)
Factors like any particular person, a group of people, the government, nature, even
God, etc. cannot be held responsible for what has happened t0 me in my life, up to
this moment. It is my and my responsibility alone. Equally, what my future
holds depends on me to a very large extent. Rather, whatever I choose to do at this
moment is already creating my destiny for tomorrow. I shouldn't forget that
the only real time I have for creating my future is the present, now.
Karma teaches me that at every step, I am the creator of my own little world,
the creator of my future circumstances. I also am the creator of the environment
immediately around me. On a bigger level I am a co-creator or partner, together
with God, of a positive future of the world, of the world of tomorrow, of the world
of peace, love and happiness. So my responsibility and my ability to influence
the future is not restricted to my life alone.
That I can create the future of my choice - of love, peace and happiness, for myself
and others, can appear as unreasonable optimism. It's just being realistic. What
I create is what is going to happen. If I choose to transmit love and peace in my
interactions with others today, I create relationships, in the present and for the
future, based on those qualities.

Message for the day 26-05-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
The one who is free from desire is the one who is able to maintain positivity.
Projection: When we put forth our ideas to others we expect them to listen
to us. Our idea changes to desire and when it is not accepted we then tend to become
irritated. And along with it comes jealousy or dislike for the others and we find
ourselves caught up in negativity.
Solution: We need to make sure that we share our ideas with others but at
the same time we need to keep ourselves free from any selfish motive. When we put
forth our idea in a detached way, we too will be open to learning and we will be
able to accept any criticism or rejection that comes our way. Thus we will be free
from negativity.
