Human life is very precious. – How would you like yours to be? Is it as you would like it to be?
Peaceful, happy, giving?
We encounter so many different problems in our individual lives that we sometimes become disheartened and lose our peace and happiness.
Purposeless- we become lazy.
Unhappy- we blame others.
Uninspired- we live just for the sake of it.
Is it possible to change this?
Where can we get the power from to be able to make the most of this life, to get out of the rut and beat the negative forces oppressing us?
The change has to start within me/come from me.
In life we need an aim- and then we need the determination to stick with it. Set yourself am aim- e.g. to improve my circumstances; to share happiness; to spread peace…
We need to regain our self respect; to allow our values to surface; to appreciate not criticize; to have a vision that sees the good traits of others as seeing other’s specialities rather than their defects… this uplifts us both.
Do you know your values? Your qualities? Your specialities? We hardly know ourselves. Seeing only the ‘outer part’ we start dealing on this outer level – this leads us into all sorts of struggles. Instead come to know the inner being that you are behind the ‘outer part’ – your qualities, values and specialities. Then we can bring these qualities, values and specialities to the surface and put them into action.
A struggle?
Sometimes even though we have this aim we struggle to put it into practice- meaning to do one thing we find ourselves doing another. We find that we lack the power to put things into action.
– Old habits can be hard to break- so first of all persevere, don’t give up.
– Sustain yourself: make this your study- keep your mind churning good things otherwise our mind takes out past files and starts churning them.
— read good books;
— create a ‘thought for today’ for yourself;
— seek like-interested company. Gossip drains us – instead find people with whom you can share these ideas.
– Live in the present. Let go of the burden of the past; for this it may be that we need to learn its lesson/see its benefit first.
– Take up a daily meditation practice.
– Throughout the day on the hour take one minute out to just relax and revive your energy.
– Life is to share – a smile, enthusiasm, good company, a word, a good wish…
– Take time out to sit quietly to create pure and peaceful thoughts…let these vibrations spread out from you through the universe.
A real struggle?
Sometimes it can be that negativity has got such a hold on us that life becomes a real struggle; this creates fear in our hearts. It can seem that our natural nature has become one of negativity.
Deeply understand that whatever we do now creates our future… it all begins with sowing the right seeds. To live peacefully and happily? Whatever we want to achieve we can. Sow and water: it begins with sowing the seeds (thoughts); then we have to water them and be patient knowing that they will come to flourish as a farmer does. In the meantime avoid putting into action anything contrary to what you want to achieve.
Understand how whilst we are free to perform whatever actions we will- we are not free from the consequences of them. Understand how our present is due to our past. Understand how the actions we perform now create our future.
Keep this determined thought: I am going to smile all the time. I am not going to waste any more precious time getting upset, feeling ‘bad’, upsetting others. I am going to take back the remote control. I am a happy, peaceful, calm and cool soul. Be very determined not to suffer any more- smile no matter what; encourage your inner qualities and power to surface. It will happen.
