Real Beauty

To see the beauty of every being is to create beauty in the world. This requires a discerning "eye" or intellect to see behind the masks that everyone wears. When I come out from behind my own mask I can more easily see behind the masks of others.

Today let me see beauty behind the masks.

Realization

Realizing one's own mistakes and making amendments is usually associated with negative feelings. But true introspection lies in realizing one's own positive qualities. It is to see ourselves with "real eyes" and see the hidden potential and strengths. When we truly realize, there is change and that mistake would never be repeated. 

Today I will see a strength of mine and I will keep awareness of this specialty as a background. This will help me bring quality to whatever I do.

Unity

Unity is harmony within and amongst people. It is built with a shared vision for the good of all and a common goal. Unity is appreciating the value of each person and their unique contribution. When there is willingness to accommodate others, unity blossoms.

Today let me create harmonious atmosphere and thereby experience the fragrance of unity.

Creating Happy Moments

Do not wait for happy endings, but create them with the power of a generous heart. To wait for happiness to come to me is to place my life on hold. I am a creator of my own happiness. 

Today let me offer something to everyone I meet; a smile, a nice comment, the cooperation of my time or energy and discover the secret of creating happiness.

Think Before Act

When I am able to give time to myself to think before performing any action, I am able to take the opportunity to be clear in my thinking. The consequences of the action I wish to take, are clear in my mind, and so the action taken to overcome the situation is right. Hence I receive easy and sure success. 
Today let me think before performing any action.

Pure Feelings

The more I am able to have pure feelings for those around me, the more is the positivity that emerges from within. Because of having discovered the positivity within, I am able to spread it unconditionally. So I experience the immediate fruit of what I have given and also accumulate for the future. 

Today let me spread the vibrations and pure positive feelings around me.

Being Attentive

If I keep the weaknesses of others in my mind, they soon become a part of me and make me weak.Spiritual energy is absorbed through attention. Where my attention goes, my energy flows and life grows. 

Today let me be aware of where my attention goes and choose to direct my energies to grow virtues and strengths.

Thinking Light

The biggest disease of the mind is over-thinking, especially too much thinking about others. Thinking too much is like eating too much. The heaviness makes it impossible to remain light and flexible. When I realize this and turn back towards simple thoughts of love, kindness, peace and other spiritual qualities I free myself from the unnecessary burden of too much thinking. 

Today let me think light.

Protecting Inner Peace

Often, from a grain of sand a mountain emerges. It is possible to spend my whole day focused on trivial matters, getting lost in the petty details of this drama of life. When I am focused on the small details with the feeling that they are everything, then I lose the broader perspective of life. Everything that comes in front of me is a passing scene. In order to enjoy the beauty of the whole drama I must be careful not to get stuck in any individual scene.

Today let me protect my inner peace by transforming any mountain into a grain of sand.

Power of Silence

The method to chase away all restlessness of the mind is the power of silence. Silence is nectar to an overactive mind. Silence is powerful energy that can be found when I sit still, turn inwards and focus on creating it. By touching it for even a moment the mind becomes refreshed.

 Today let me offer my mind the power of silence.

Purity

There is a big difference between being nice and being pure. Nice can be a thin coating over feelings of aggression toward the self or others. However Pure is a deep experience of my own self-worth and the worth of others. Purity creates deep kindness and also the power of clarity and firmness.

Today let me be pure and experience the power of clarity.

Perspective

Making things positive doesn’t mean a sunny outlook; it means making the choice to see problems as opportunities. Every problem and difficult situation is embedded with a solution - the adventure lies in finding the solution.

Today let me make effort to see the problems from a different perspective.

Significance of Actions

When I understand the significance of my actions and create an elevated fortune for myself through right actions, I am able to experience constant progress in my life. I also naturally become an inspiration for others too, so that they can discover their inner resources to create an elevated fortune for themselves. 

Today let me understand the significance of actions and try to perform elevated actions.

Inner Satisfaction

There are lots of resources in each one's life that can be shared with others. The more there is the consciousness of giving, there is the ability to give and share these inner resources with others which brings constant satisfaction in my life. Then there are no expectations from others, but only an awareness of what I have. Life becomes satisfactory and I feel richer for having given unconditionally. 

Today let me share my resources with others and bring inner satisfaction to my life.

Losing Mental Weight

Lose mental weight by letting go of the past. When I let go of the mental weight associated with past hurts, worry about the future and concern about the present, I find myself light and easy, ready to face life with enthusiasm. Meditation is a simple method of choosing thoughts that give me positive energy.

Today let me meditate on the qualities of stillness, easiness and lightness and find myself losing mental weight.

Aware of my Creation

The Future is not a gift, it is a Creation. I create my life as I am living it. When I am aware that each day is my creation and not just a routine, I invest carefully creating something beautiful to live within. 

Today let me be aware of my Creation.

Becoming Free

Some think that they will find peace and happiness when the chaos and confusion in their life finishes. However, confusion is like a mountain. The mountain will not move, the best way past it is over or around. In the same way when I lift my mind and intellect out of the confusion of life, I am more easily able to see it for what it really is; an obstacle.

Today let me keep my mind and intellect above chaos and confusion and become free.

Contentment

Running after your desires is like chasing your own shadow. The more you try to follow it, the more it runs away from you. All you have to do is to turn back and move towards the sun (your destination) and then all the desires would start following you like your shadow and you will feel content and full. 

Today let me be content and move towards my destination.

Full of Virtues

When we ask how we can serve others around us, we discover that by making our lives inspirational and interacting with wisdom we bring benefit to others. When I think of others who inspire me, it is often because of their qualities, not their accomplishments. To live a life filled with virtues is to inspire.

Today let me live a life full of virtues so that it inspires and brings benefit to others.

Train my Mind

I need to be a mother to my mind, teaching it to think the right kind of thoughts. Even when everything is going well, I need to train my mind. Taking one positive thought every day and spending time with it brings good results. This training makes mind obedient at the time of need and allows me to be positive even in the most negative situations. 

Today let me become the mother of my mind and train it in right direction.

Good Wishes

Change vibrations to change situations. When I hold onto a past negative memory, my vibrations change and become negative. When my energy is even slightly negative, it is felt by others. Only my pure feelings and good wishes will transform a situation. Holding anything negative will dilute my own pure intentions.
Today let me free the flow of pure feelings and good wishes by letting go of negative memories of the past.

Trusting Inner Voice

When I begin to trust myself I can stop looking to others to prove my own merit. When I look within for answers, I begin to grow trust for myself. This trust in myself will free me from asking others what to do and from being dependent on external guidance.

 Today let me trust the inner voice of my intuition and consider its wise directions.

Positive Thoughts

When you sow a thought you reap an action, when you sow an action you reap a habit, when you sow a habit you reap a character and when you sow a character you reap a destiny. Thoughts are like seeds. You cannot sow the seed of one plant and get another: thistles will never produce daffodils! When your thoughts are positive, powerful and constructive, your life will reflect this.

Today let me start sowing the seeds of positive thoughts.
