When our vision is on our aim

------------------------------------------------

Message for the day 23-07-2010
----------------------------------------------------------
When our vision is on our aim, we will continue to progress.

Projection:Sometimes as we move along we suddenly stop. We no more find the progress that should be there in our life. At such times we don't really understand what the reason is. We do try to bring about changes but it doesn't always work and we find ourselves stagnating.

Solution: When on a journey, we are sure to come across many scenes that are beautiful or distracting. But when we know where we have to go we will never be distracted but will move on appreciating each scene that comes our way. In life too, when we are faced with a situation that is not in keeping with our aim we need to pay special attention not to get carried away with such side-scenes.

Anger Management And Prevention (cont.)

To be an inspiration to many is to be a hero actor.

To be an inspiration to many is to be a hero actor.

Projection:-
When we see negativity in others, we usually think and speak about it. We then take no inspiration to think and act positive. The more the attention is drawn towards negativity, our actions will become negative too.

Solution:-
Whatever the situation we are in, we need to make effort to change our own actions and turn them to positive. We will then be free from looking at the negativity in others. And our actions will become an inspiration to those around us, which will inspire them to become positive too.

Anger Management And Prevention

To see ourselves in the mirror of knowledge

----------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 18-07-2010
----------------------------------------------------------
To see ourselves in the mirror of knowledge is to bring progress in ourselves.

Projection: The usual way of looking at ourselves when things don't go right with us is to either look at ourselves with self-pity or to point out others' mistakes. When we do this we lose the opportunity of learning from whatever has happened and so there is no progress.

Solution: The ideal way of looking at ourselves when things go wrong is to look with a knowldgeful eye and see what we can improve in ourselves. We only have to look and we are sure to find something that we can work on and improve. This brings about real progress in us.

Positivity And Health

To see ourselves in the mirror of knowledge

----------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 17-07-2010

To see ourselves in the mirror of knowledge
Projection:-
 Each day of ours is usually spent in doing things for ourselves and providing for our needs and desires. We seem to have no time for others. We are usually caught up with a few people, which brings attachment and expectations. We then find ourselves getting caught up with the weaknesses of others.

Solution:-
 We need to check if our love for others is pure. Where there is pure true love there is kindness and the attitude of bringing benefit. With this attitude of ours we will be able to see each one's potential for perfection. They too will be able to then work towards their own perfection.

Stress Management

The practice of positivity

------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 16-07-2010

----------------------------------------------------------
The practice of positivity enables us to be stable under all circumstances.

Projection:-
Usually we find ourselves reacting negatively to situations. At such times we want to maintain a positive attitude but are not able to. We then work hard and think of ways to change the negative situation to a positive one. A lot of time and effort goes into it and we tend to feel tired.

Solution:-
 The solution lies in maintaining our own positivity rather than trying to change negative into positive. When we have a long time of practice of working with our inner positivity we will be able to be positive even in the most negative situation. Then we will be saved the effort of having to work at transforming our negativity.

Creating Positive Habits

To be able to bend means to be a giver.

------------------------------------------------

Message for the day 15-07-2010
----------------------------------------------------------
To be able to bend means to be a giver.

Projection:-
There is usually a demand from situations for us to bow and bend. Even when it is not our mistake we are expected to understand or adjust. It seems very difficult at that time and we usually stand straight continuing to do what we believe in.

Solution:-
When such storms come in our life, we need to learn the art of bending, just as a flexible tree would bend to save itself in the storm and straighten once the storm passes over. To bend means to try to understand the other person also and to adopt the value of flexibility.

Self Introspection (Self-Observation) (cont.)

Trust brings help from others.

----------------------------------------------------------

Message for the day 14-07-2010
----------------------------------------------------------
Trust brings help from others.

Projection:Many times we find that we are not able to get sufficient help from others. We seem to be struggling all alone. We do expect help from others and might say so in words too, but we find that we are not always able to get full cooperation from others.

Solution: We will not get help from others if we expect and demand from others. Instead we need to develop faith in others that they will help. For this we need to develop total respect for each and everyone. It is this respect that will naturally encourage the other person to help us.
