Newness

It is easy to create new things, change places or do something different. To sustain that sense of newness that creates enthusiasm is more difficult. The secret of newness in life is not to do new things constantly, but to see everything you do with new eyes, new insights and a new perspective.

Today let me make effort to bring newness in whatever I do.

Foregiveness

When I am able to forgive the mistakes made by others, I am able to forget them easily also. So my mind is free from the burden of waste of all the past mistakes and I am able to be light even when I am faced with the negativity of the other person. I am never caught up with attitudes about people and I am successful in my relationship with others. 

Today let me learn the art of forgiving and remain free from the burden of waste.

Wisdom

Wisdom is to see what is not seen. When I only see what is visible to the two eyes, I miss out important details. To open the third eye of wisdom and see through to the reality of things is to create opportunities for oneself. I need to give this training to the third eye. 
Today I will make effort to look at the things differently.

Stay Happy

Only when I am happy within myself can I bring creativity to my life. Even though I have to do a number of routine jobs each day, they do not have to become dull- when I am happy, I can think of innovative ways of doing them. Even small changes have a big impact, and I will soon be inspired to make even larger changes to challenge me further. 

Today let me stay happy and bring creativity in every task I do.

Be Adaptive

We all have weaknesses that make it difficult for us to adapt to the needs of a situation. Our weaknesses can make us inflexible and blind to new possibilities. To have the ability to adapt gives me the ability to handle any situation. I become as flexible and beautiful as pure gold, which transforms when heated into something beautiful. I embrace change, and this equips me to enjoy the beauty I create and the joy I spread. 

Today let me be adaptive and be open to the new possibilities.

Stay Positive

When I make the effort of intentionally staying positive, I find all other connected positive thoughts coming up naturally. This is because the situation doesn't look so difficult or challenging with my positive frame of mind. A single positive thought helps in changing the entire situation.

Today let me make effort to stay positive.

Honesty

Honesty means being the same inside out. Honesty with oneself helps one to bring about constant improvement in the self. Honesty with others enables one to relate positively under all circumstances. There is no rudeness but there is an openness that brings about love towards the other person. When I am honest, I am able to experience progress in my own life and others are benefited too with my own self-progress.

Today let me be honest with myself.

Retreat in Silence

Silence is like a university and a hospital; when you enter, you learn and you heal. Silence is, therefore a place where I can retreat, to seek insight and to replenish myself. In silence I can fill myself with peace, love and happiness. Silence creates an inner happiness which is calm and sustaining, unlike the happiness from outside which is frenetic and fades quickly.

Today let me retreat for a few moments of silence to learn and heal.

Contentment

No matter how many external situations come in front of a contented person, they do not shake. When I am content I am aware that I have everything I need within me. Contentment makes me immune from the upheaval of situations and allows me to bring comfort to others. 

Today let me become a jewel of contentment knowing it makes me stable and brings benefit to others around me.

Beyond my Limits

When I think I have done enough and I can do no more, it is at this time that I have the opportunity to stretch my limits. Many people feel they have reached their limit and are unable to tolerate anything else in this world and in their lives. I am able to change my world when I stretch beyond my limited thoughts about what is possible.

 Today let me stretch my limits.

Easy Nature

When I have an easy nature, I am able to put a full stop in a second with great ease. I am not caught up with waste questions and exclamations. So I am able to enjoy everything that comes my way and move forward constantly with lightness. 

Today let me make an effort to make my nature easy and move forward.

Inner Order

We experience a sense of calm when there is order. When I lose inner power, chaos rules my thought energy and order is lost. Then I seek to create order externally through control or structure. However order comes from the beauty and harmony inside the soul. Order comes when there is understanding. Order comes with cleanliness. 

Today let me focus on creating inner order.

Be like a Flower

Be a fragrant flower in the garden of humanity. A flower gives without knowing it is giving. A flower gives without asking for anything in return. Just by its very presence it gives value to the situation. In the same way, spirituality gives a sweet fragrance and beauty to any situation. When I am connected to my inner beauty I bring an energy of upliftment to every gathering. 

Today let me express spiritual fragrance like a flower.

Spiritual Process

A teacher or a book cannot take the concepts you have in your head and make them sit in your heart. They cannot graft a love of meditation onto you, if you are not willing to develop your own love for meditating. Since spiritual experiences are born and nurtured from within, you need to be willing to participate in your own spiritual process.

 Today let me participate in my own spiritual process.

Appreaciate

Clocks are filled with small working parts. The intricate timing and positioning of each part is unique. The cooperation and coordination between parts is what makes a clock work. In the same life, my life is full of small moving parts. People play parts in my life. Recognizing and appreciating the unique timing and position of each part allows them to flow smoothly and cooperate in the functioning of my life. 

Today let me appreciate all the small moving parts and people in my life.

Sacred Space

Temples, mosques, churches and special buildings are experienced as sacred space. They are sacred because they have been filled with thoughts of love. respect and attention to the highest in humanity and to God. In the same way I can create sacred space between myself and another person by honoring and respecting the value of each one. 

Today, let me create sacred space in each conversation I have.

Light Filled Actions

In an activity-conscious, task-driven world, is it easy to think that action is everything. In fact more important than the action itself is the energy within the action. When the light of the soul is lit then every action is filled with light. The world needs light, especially when there is darkness. 

Today let me fill my actions with light.

Balance

The perfect balance is found when two strengths come together. Balance is not created by combining a weakness and strength. This is known as compensation, not balance. The strongest balance is a result of two strengths coming together to compliment each other. 

Today let me express my strengths in balance.

Cleaning my Mind

It is important to clean the mind before sleeping each night. When I check my feelings I can discover energetic knots from the days actions, interactions and thoughts and let them go. Like a balloon floating away I release memories that do not serve me. I face anything I have done and do not feel good about. I understand what triggered me and resolve to change my reaction next time. I let go of energies from the world that are not mine. 

Today let me clean my mind before sleeping and rest like a child.

Melody of Peace

The original melody of the soul is peace. Behind the noise in the mind, beyond the fear and hurt in the heart, is a sweet symphony of peace playing as backdrop. When I turn my attention towards it, and away from the noise, I can hear its beautiful sound. 

Today let me dance to my inner melody of peace.

Nourishing Mind and Body

The secret of good health is good nourishment and exercise. We need daily nourishing food and exercise to maintain a healthy body and it takes care and attention to fulfill this responsibility.However, the human spirit needs the same attention in the form of the thoughts we have and how the mind puts them to use. Feeding both body and mind with nourishing food gives a powerful and consistent message to respect and co-operate with one another. This is holistic good health.

Today let me make effort to nourish both my mind and body.

Feeling of Belonging

Feelings of belonging last longer than tasks accomplished. Creating a feeling of belonging is more important than getting the task done. When I take a few moments before getting down to business, to exchange a few words of encouragement or appreciation, I create a feeling of belonging and closeness. This creates a fabric of unity and makes the work easier.

Today let me create connections with others as well as get tasks done.

Newness

Create a new world by becoming new. When I apply my natural creative tendency to renewing myself, I begin to see my world change. By turning old habits into new ones and creating new personality traits I begin to enjoy the process of creation and how it affects my world.

Today let me create newness in me and transform my world.

Selfless Love

Love can never be exclusive. The sun does not choose to shine on some flowers in the garden and not others. Love is inclusive and has many faces - caring, listening, sharing from the heart, just accepting someone for what they are right now, are all acts of love, as long as you seek nothing in return. The secret key to the greatest door called love is acceptance. First yourself, then others and eventually all.

Today let me make effort to have selfless love for all.

Inner Truth

The nature of the truth is that it persists. If public opinion turns against me, if something wrong is said about me, I can check my level of security by connecting myself to truth. When I remind myself of truth, I become deeply secure and will not be affected by anything false and temporary. 

Today let me be secure by taking my sense of self from my own inner truth.

The Mind Room

Think of your mind as a room; what does it look like? Are the curtains & the windows closed? Is the room of your mind stuffy? Cluttered with thoughts & information? And what's hanging on the walls of your mind? Are your sticky emotions stuck on the wall? Open the curtains & let the light in. Open the windows & air the room. Clean the mind & put everything in its place. Brighten the walls with brighter emotions.  

Today let me think of my mind as a room and make effort to clean it.

Enthusiasm

A caged has the ability to fly, but is unable to spread its wings and soar. I need to remind myself that being enthusiastic in all situations is like being a free bird reaching great heights. When I can experience this inner freedom and appreciate the joy it brings, I will be able to sustain it even things go wrong.  

Today let me be enthusiastic and reach greater heights.

Being Cheerful

 Every individual is unique with his own specialities and values. When I recognize this uniqueness, I will not expect people to behave according to what I feel is right, but will respect them for what they are. Thus I'll be able to be remain constantly cheerful. 

Today let me stay free from expectations and stay cheerful.

Self Transformation

Self transformation is not a battle. Although there are times when I get lost in battling against some old thought pattern or habit, I will only win when I remind myself that it is a thought pattern and not my true self. To remember my original nature of peace and sweetness is to dissolve the battle scene and be truly victorious. 

Today let me give up battling and accept my own innate wholeness in order to transform myself.
