Letting go of the Past

Letting go of the Past pictureLetting go of the Past

Sometimes, memories of the past pull our happiness down. Hence, it’s important to protect ourselves from influence of the past.

This becomes very easy, by creating thoughts like:

  • The past has passed, it won’t come again, it’s finished
  • It was my past karmic account which is now over, hence clearing the way to my illustrious future!
  • I’m a powerful soul, I have the power to chose whether to allow the past to influence me or not
  • Past is called Bhoot Kaal in Hindi, hence remembering the past is like remembering ghosts!
  • I’ve learnt from the past, now it’s time to move on
  • The past is not in my control
  • Thinking of the past spoils my present, preventing from taking advantage of golden opportunities presently available

Also, having good experiences in meditation is another powerful technique of merging unpleasant memories of the past..

Hence as is said, the past is history but the present is a gift. Thus, let’s put a full stop to the past, & create good thoughts & feelings in the present, to enjoy a most illustrious present & future!

Best of luck!

How to overcome Hurry

Overcoming Hurry picture

Overcoming Hurry

The main reason for hurry is we feel ‘I don’t have time’. While it’s true we’ve many responsibilities to fulfil today, it just means we need to do our actions fast. But, the only slight mistake we do is, we also let our thoughts run too fast.

This actually reduces efficiency, since a fast mind:

  • Makes us forget things
    • For example, rushing to office & then coming back for forgotten tiffin box or mobile
  • Makes us commit mistakes, hence then requiring a lot of time in correction / re-checking
  • Drains a lot of energy, hence exhausting us affecting all our subsequent work

On the other hand, peace enhances efficiency, since:

  • Peace improves our focus / concentration, hence we do more in less time
  • Peace keeps our intuition awakened, enabling better decisions

Hence, this simple realization helps us easily switch from hurry to peace!

Overcoming Guilt (Feeling Guilty)

Overcoming Guilt (Feeling Guilty) pictureOvercoming Guilt (Feeling Guilty)

Guilt doesn’t allow us to remain happy. Hence, it’s important to overcome guilt, which becomes very easy with the following simple understanding:

The more we remain in guilt, the more soul power gets drained. And it’s exactly this power which we need to ensure the mistake made is not repeated again.

Hence whenever in guilt, just ask yourself the question “Do I wish to repeat this mistake again?”. If no, I can’t afford to remain in guilt!

Best Wishes!

Looking at Virtues of all

Looking at Virtues picture

Everyone knows we should look at virtues rather than weaknesses. It’s actually for our benefit, since looking at virtues makes us the 1st to feel good inside. Indeed, if we make it a strong practice of looking at 1 virtue of each soul we come in interaction with, then it very easily keeps our state of mind elevated throughout the day!

Hence, an excellent practice is to make a list of 2-3 specialities of each soul we come in regular contact with (ie family, colleagues, neighbours). Then, keep these specialities in awareness, whenever we interact with them!

This has numerous benefits:

  • Keeps our state of mind very light, and our behaviour & words very sweet
  • Makes our interaction successful ie full of good wishes & blessings
  • Radiates positive vibrations to them, improving our relations
  • Creates a beautiful atmosphere around

Hence today, let’s look at virtues of each soul we interact with. And don’t forget to share your experiences in the comments below!

Examples of Specialities in others:

  • Pure, Innocent, Sweet, Enthusiastic
  • Honest, Sincere, Punctual, Responsible
  • Caring, Supportive, Helpful

Indeed, like a swan always inculcates pearls, let’s become a spiritual holy swan who sees only virtues!

Good luck!

The Seat of Self Respect

The Seat of Self Respect pictureWe hear the words self respect, self confidence, etc often these days.

Note these all start with the word self, hence their experience depends on our definition of self. Thus, if our definition of self respect is based on temporary aspects (like looks, position, etc), it’ll keep fluctuating. Instead, basing it on permanent eternal truths keeps it very strong & stable.

Examples:

  • I’m unique with many specialities, none can perform my role better than me
  • I am God’s child, all His virtues & powers belong to me
  • I’m a victorious jewel, success is my birthright
  • I’m originally a very pure, divine, peaceful, loving, happy & powerful soul
  • I’m God’s angel, sharing happiness with all
  • I’m the hero actor of this world drama

Hence, let’s select one of these self respect points, and keep it in awareness for the next hour. We could even continue this practice throughout the day, or take different self respect points for each hour. And don’t forget to share your experiences (or queries) in the comments below!

Benefits of Self Respect

  • When in self-respect, we automatically give respect to others, see their virtues, encourage them forward, etc
  • We remain protected from negative influence
  • Our confidence & efficiency at work automatically increases
  • etc

Hence, best wishes for the next hour!
