Daily Positive Thoughts: August 16, 2013: Enjoy

Cabo Pulmo, Baja California Sur, Mexico

Enjoy

When I finish this project, then I will be happy! When this situation is resolved, I will be fine. When I reach my goal, I will finally relax, be peaceful! To surf in the Ocean is to understand where the waves are coming from and which ones to take. Maybe what life is asking of you is different from the responses you were trained to give to it. To be successful in the Ocean needs effort and positioning. Catch the right wave. The objective of the surfer is to enjoy the ride, to have fun. In the same way, do not postpone your happiness; enjoy whatever comes your way.

Learn and grow

There are times when we find ourselves in the situation where the
person we had trusted is found to be untrustworthy. Either our eyes
have been opened or the individual has changed. Life is being kind to
us and teaching us a lesson that needs to be learnt, but at that time
we often forget this. Our vision gets clouded and self confidence
shaken. To turn out thoughts to God, the One who never fails, to find
strength in knowing from experiences that with God we can press on, is
good. However we must not become bitter towards the world. Each one has
his or her role to play and own actions to account for. When we harbour
feelings of bitterness and hatred we ourselves become cold and our
hearts become like iron. Rather we should be thankful for the
opportunity the individual provided for us to learn and grow.

Practical Exercises of Self Transformation

Given below are some practical points for change through the power of meditation. If you have not started meditating yet, the practical benefits of meditation given below will perhaps inspire you to do so:
Have the powerful and determined thought, "I must change myself".

For the next few days, write down your experiences on the following topics:

1. Write of an experience of how the power of meditation gave you mental and physical energy, so you got more work done in less the time.

2. Write of your experience of how the power of meditation enables you to churn (think) spiritual knowledge (e.g. what is shared in each day's "Positive Reflection" or something else) deeply and change a situation.

3. From your space in silence, observe other souls in a detached way and relate that to the knowledge of this drama - the game of life i.e. every soul is playing his accurate role via the physical body. I need to remain non-judgemental. Make a special effort to remain angelic all day. Speak sweetly, and only when necessary and spread your light to all around. Write down your experience.

4. Experience how the power of meditation makes situations and problems very light. It enables me to enjoy the arts...the art of managing people, the art of leisure, of being busy etc. Write your experience.

Soul Sustenance

Remaining Relaxed during an Interview or Meeting

A state of relaxed alertness will yield best results in an interview or an important meeting. To relax, you need to remove all sense of confrontation, instead see the meeting as a friendly fact finding exchange and an opportunity to talk quietly of your achievements.

1. Think of your interviewer as someone with whom, very soon, you might find that you have a great deal in common – perhaps not a friend, but someone you enjoy talking to.

2. If the questions become difficult, visualize the Supreme Being in the form of a person in the room – perhaps standing behind the interviewer. Imagine him as a friend urging you on, praising your handling of the situation, persuading you to succeed.

3. If the interviewer seems unfriendly, say to yourself: it is because he or she has difficulty with the situation. Respond calmly and pleasantly.
Message for the day

The one who is royal plays with the jewels of knowledge.
Projection: Throughout the day several times we find ourselves performing such actions or speaking such words that hurt others. Such behavior actually reflects the fact that we are playing with stones instead of jewels.

Solution: Real jewels are such words and actions that are filled with knowledge or truth. Knowledge gives us understanding which brings sweetness in our words and accuracy in our actions and this is real royalty.
