Spiritual Vision
A simple definition of spiritual vision is that I see the best in others.
A parameter of proving to myself that I have a spiritual vision and I am seeing
the best in others is that I naturally thank and praise rather than criticize those
with whom I interact at home or at the workplace on a daily basis – even though
I may see obvious negative characteristics in them and experience negative behavior
from them. Keep a daily chart of the three points, for three people close to you,
below for one week. Every night, fill this chart up for the day that’s just gone
by.
1. Name of person and relationship
2. How did I thank or praise him/her?
3. What was this person's response?
Remember that although you may be constantly positive with others, constantly seeing
their original spiritual qualities, it may take time for your positive energy to
transform them and for them to start transmitting positive energy back to you and
start behaving positively with you. At the end of the week, check what benefits
did you and others experience from this exercise.

Message for the day 31-05-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
Perfection comes when there is positivity in thoughts.
Projection: When we are faced with any weakness of ours, we usually think
about it so much that it is totally blown out of proportion and it seems bigger
than it actually is. This leads to negative thinking, which in turn doesn't let
us work on improving ourselves. We will then just remain the way we are, not being
able to bring about progress.
Solution: What we need to do in order to win over our weakness is to change
our focus. Instead of thinking about the weakness, we only need to think, "I am
not perfect yet, but I am working towards it and I am slowly improving." With such
positive thoughts, our negativity will finish.
