Spiritual Excercise

In a material-minded world, matters of spirit can be lost. Although the spirit is invisible, its impact is felt in my world. As the spirit becomes tainted with selfishness and strong materialistic desires, it loses its ability to shine brightly. When I pay attention to my inner spiritual experiences, with a deeper meaning, these experiences grow and act as a buffer between me and materialism. 

Today let me value the subtlety of my own spiritual experience.

Being in Control

Check if you are using words like, 'when things change for the better, I'll change too. I am just waiting for the things to get better' If you are using such words, it means you are letting the situation control you. Each day tell yourself, 'I have full control of the situations around me. It is when I change that things around me will change too and I definitely have the power to change things around me.' 

Today let me become the master and have full control over the situation.

Pure Heart

Have a heart so pure it can sweeten a sour mode and elevate a falling star. When my mood fluctuates up and down in accordance with my surroundings, I become a victim of my circumstances. Yet when I focus on remaining untouched by my surroundings I can bring my positive energy into any situation, transforming it immediately. 
Today let me influence my surroundings by bringing a new, positive energy.

Virtuous Life

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.

Trust

When I treat others with dignity by trusting them, they will find their way in life just as a river finds the ocean. Unsolicited advice to others can be a subtle form of disrespect. Instead of advising others, let me trust in their ability to discover the solutions to their life. 

Today let me be there as a spiritual support for others and hold the highest vision of their potential.

Integrity

Integrity is staying true to myself and what I know to be true. When I apply spiritual learning directly and practically in daily life I stay true to what I know this increases the alignment between my true self and my actions. 

Today let me apply spiritual learning practically and experience personal integrity.

Love to the World

The world is in need of mothering. A mother's love is healing, comforting and empowering especially at a time when a child is lonely, sad, anxious and afraid. In a world where searching for happiness takes a soul into the accumulation of wealth or personal advancement can often demand a high cost of loss of close relationships, including family. When sadness, anxiety, loneliness and fear take over, comforting is required. 

Today let me offer the love of a mother to my world.
