Month: April 2019

Very often we want to make grand changes in our life, so that our lives can become happier and more fulfilling.  We believe working hard and increasing ‘da dough’ in the bank account will make us more secure.  Or getting that plastic surgery will make us more desirable!  Perhaps, moving away from difficult relationships will get us that sweet peace of mind.  But is that always really the solution?

As you go about your day today, why not try to be like a sponge absorbing virtue.  Specifically look for a virtue, something positive, in everything that you see and do today.  It will be like a game of ‘spot the virtue.’  Even when it seems to be going wrong, there must be a hidden benefit.  Yes, there has to be!  This is the first and easy way.  Secondly as you meet and connect with people, look for a definitive quality in them, make it a game in your mind, as though you are trying to find a diamond in the haystack! 

When those thoughts are not transformed into positive, then those negative thoughts will only come to haunt us later in the form of sickness or ill health.  This may seem obvious to many of us. But do we truly realize just how important it is to create the right type of thoughts and feelings in our mind?  We need to consciously choose to steer the mind away from the creation, or even influence of any negative thoughts or feelings.
