Daily Positive Thoughts: June 18, 2017: Live life on purpose

Live life on purpose

If you don’t live life on purpose you live life by accident. Which is why some days feel like a motorway pile up!

The highest purpose is always giving, or serving others, without wanting anything in return. This is why relaxation is always impossible if we are always ‘on the take’. There is an overall purpose for your life, and each scene is an opportunity to serve your purpose.

Take time to think deeply, listen to your intuition, and with patience, the reason why you are here, and what you uniquely have to give, will occur to you. Then you can live your life ‘on purpose’.

Receiving The Gifts Of God (Part 3)

Along with meditation, a good start of the day is reading spiritual knowledge, which can be done after early morning meditation. Drastic transformation can be brought about in your personality by doing this. Also, happiness levels increase and a capacity to remain empowered amidst difficult worldly situations increases by reading spiritual knowledge. Along with that, to receive the love and blessings of God, we need to change our personality through our own checking and self-effort. This is called inculcation of divine virtues. The more we fill ourselves with divine virtues like love, humility, respect, cleanliness and tolerance, the more happiness we will experience ourselves and receive the gift of God’s closeness.

Our hearts have longed for a life in the canopy of God over many years and we should make the most of his divine company, at the present moment. We should not miss the amazing opportunity of filling our hands with these invisible treasures, which He is giving to us. Also, we distribute the same to each and every human being whom we meet. This will bring smiles back on their faces in demanding times of busy schedules and tight deadlines combined with difficulties and pressures in all spheres of life. So let us awaken and come together under one umbrella of God’s spiritual love and a common bond between all of us. It is a bond of spiritual brotherhood. Let us join hands together and make the most benefit of God’s company.

Change

We are normally kind to people who are kind to us. But when someone is not behaving well, we tend to change our attitude, response and behaviour toward that person. We wait for the other person to change before changing ourselves. So we neither find change in others nor in ourselves.

When I see others’ inner qualities I connect to them more easily. I will not be dependent on another person’s behaviour for my own growth today. 

I will see each person’s positive aspects and take them within myself. In this way I will become richer with each interaction.

Message for the day

To be a creator means to use all treasures for a positive contribution. 
Expression: Even in the most negative situations, the one who has the thought of creation, works towards bettering the situation. Every thought, word and action is towards creation and not towards worsening the situation. Such a person is not concerned about who spoilt the situation or how it got spoilt. To the extent possible, he works towards bettering the situation. 

Experience: When I am working towards creation, I am able to make the best use of my resources and treasures. I then experience constant progress. I also experience contentment of having made a contribution, however little it may be. I have no questions, but only answers under all circumstances. 

In Spiritual Service,
