Knowing the ‘self’ brings self-confidence. Self-belief and self-trust enables one to go beyond any situation and help make a difference in the world. Otherwise when something happens we very quickly put ourselves down and fall back on our nature and our habits- we limit ourselves.
- Focus on the ‘self’ and create inner peace.
- Introduce moments of reflection and introspection throughout the day.
- Check and review your actions and their outcomes. Could you have handled it differently?
- Value others and respect others (just because you don’t like someone don’t leave them behind; don’t turn your face away from someone just because they don’t understand you).
- Give attention to the connection to the Supreme Source, the One with the highest qualities. Take pauses throughout the day to remember this One.
- 1 minute breaks in which you turn your mind to the Highest Being and in which you can unburden and re-charge. Like the ocean He does not question what you want to let go of, with an unlimited and generous heart He accepts without question. Also, by connecting our minds we can draw power and strength to remain light.
Faith is about who I am. The eternal peaceful soul – I am always this. In the dark night we believe we are the darkness or the sadness, rather it is that I am an ocean of love and a drop of sadness has fallen into me. We get caught in this drop of sadness… this drop in the ocean! It will dissipate, have faith in your eternal goodness.
When we understand the ‘self’ deeply and pay attention to the ‘self’ we become less and less affected by adverse situations and the negativity of others. In fact, faced with adverse situations we are able to support and uplift others. Our thoughts, words and presence make a difference at the time of need.
A loving consciousness sees the good in others (non-judging). This is perhaps the greatest thing and the challenge of our time. This is not about changing others – it is wake them up to the beauty within themselves.
