Happy Greetings That Matter

Happy Greetings That Matter 

Good Morning! This morning, did you greet your family, friends and colleagues with a good morning, good evening or good luck? Do you wish people daily? And how do you acknowledge wishes? Most of us underestimate the value of a genuine Good morning wish. They are not just a pair of customary words. Conveyed with pure intentions of goodness, they radiate the energy of blessings and promise of good things to come. When someone greets us, let's not ignore, nod, mumble or casually say morning. Also, let's not monotonously exchange wishes with people on the phone. We need to experience the energy of the message and act thereafter. The receiver then gets our message plus our pure energy. Saying Good Morning should not be difficult. Let's not wait for others to greet based on hierarchies of age, position or power. People could be happy, sad or in an in-between mood but regardless of their response, we can make those 2 seconds to connect and make their experience of meeting us, good.


We often overlook the power of simple gestures like making eye contact, smiling, paying a compliment or greeting people. These meaningful acts certainly add happiness to our days and theirs. By helping others feel good about themselves, our own happiness significantly grows. Take a moment to see how your positive energy brightens someone's day today. Everyone is looking to be acknowledged and heard. Sometimes that is all that people need from you. Let them know through your words and actions that they matter. Notice how you feel when you greet the security guard at the gate, hold the door open for a stranger or thank your family member. When you spend time with someone, you understand their value and importance. Kindness in action will bring you more joy than you thought.

Message for the day


The method to finish a weakness is to be detached from it.


Expression: 
When there is some weakness working within that has to be overcome, it is very essential for one to get detached from it, that means not to identify with the weakness. If there is an identification with the weakness, it is further strengthened and there is the inability to get rid of it. Since it is there in the consciousness, it is visible in the words and actions too. 


Experience: When I am free from the identification with the weakness, I am able to bring about a change very quickly. I find it very easy to stabilise myself in the awareness of my strength and allow that strength to be revealed in all my words and actions. There is no heaviness of the weakness nor is there the feeling of having to give up something, but transformation takes place very easily.

Discriminating Correctly And Clearly

Discriminating Correctly And Clearly

Life does not come with a user manual of how to live it. And there are hundreds of choices and decisions we need to make, every single day. We need to have greater wisdom and accurate discrimination power. The ability to discriminate, which means to separate right from wrong, truth from illusions, relevant from the irrelevant, is fundamental to taking correct and beneficial decisions. 


Sit back and see how you increase your capacity to discriminate -


Affirmation 

I am a knowledgeful being. I am the creator of my destiny… so many options every day … so many choices to make … and there is so much information… media…social media…past experiences… public opinion… But I know what I need… I have the power of discrimination… my mind and intellect are stable… they are my strength… my intellect discriminates perfectly…based on my rich wisdom… I use it in every situation… to discriminate my thoughts, belief systems, feelings, behaviours … and decide what is right for me … I understand people and situations as they are… it tells me what is right…what is the truth… what is my priority… what is beneficial for my present and future … it discriminates…it gives me guidelines… then I take a decision… the right decision … I check what will be the result if my thoughts come into words or actions. I bring the decision into action. I immediately do what I decide to do ... I choose, decide and implement immediately. I don't get affected by other influences when discriminating. I trust my highest self… even if people's opinions are different… I analyse their intentions and habits triggering it… I empathise…I respond with peace. This is my nature.


Repeat this affirmation a few times to strengthen your intellect. When you discriminate between right and wrong, you will be able to take quick decisions. Your capacity to discriminate gives you an accurate understanding not only of situations and other people, but also an understanding of our own self.

The Three Mirrors For Inner Beauty (Part 4)

The Three Mirrors For Inner Beauty (Part 4) 

The third mirror is the mirror of your own thoughts, words and actions – What you think and feel about yourself and others is invisible to others and only you know what it is. But you radiate your thoughts, feelings, emotions and attitudes through your facial expressions, your eyes, your words, your body language and your actions when you interact with others. That way your words and your actions act as a mirror in which to see yourself. You achieve this when you are a detached observer and you become aware of your responses and how you express what arises from within you. This awareness of being an observer needs to be maintained throughout the day and by filling a daily chart before sleeping, on any three personality characteristics of your choice. Your main weaknesses and strengths which you want to improve can be included in the chart. You could either evaluate these personality characteristics with a yes (remained free from weakness or increased the strength) or no (did not remain free from weakness or did not increase the strength) or perform a percentage wise evaluation like 50% or 80% for e.g. So it is a good practice to look into this mirror once in the night, before sleeping. This mirror will give you a review of the day that has gone by and make you careful for the next day. The daily chart is very useful for this purpose. Filling a daily chart does not take too much time and is easy to maintain.


Finally and most importantly, always do remember that those who use these three mirrors actively and use them well to ensure that their internal self looks good and beautiful all the time become living mirrors for others. People who come in contact with them are able to see accurately what their own internal self looks like. On seeing how beautiful and perfect they are, other people quickly realize their weaknesses and also take inspiration to become as beautiful, clean and virtuous beings as them.

Message for the day


True courage brings benefit to the self as well as to others.


Expression: 
When there is fear, there is some kind of danger, either for the self or for others. The one who fears, or the one who doesn't have the courage to accept and face situations, is not able to bring out the best form within himself. Such a person is constantly thinking of excuses and is trying to blame others for the mistakes that happen. 


Experience: With courage, if I am able to take up responsibility for every situation that I am faced with, I am able to be free from worry or tension. I will then be in a position to learn and so I find progress at every step in my life. I find others giving me a lot of good wishes for my sincerity. I also become an inspiration for all others too to bring about a positive change.
