Experiencing God’s Love & Help (Part 1)

𝐈𝐬 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝’𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐎𝐟 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞?

Looking around us, we find a few people find happiness amidst imperfections in their lives because they always find something to be thankful for. On the other hand, few people manage to find faults even in perfect situations. A person’s response in either case is only a matter of point of view. A viewpoint literally means viewing life from a certain position of the mind. It is like watching a cricket match from different positions across the field.

➤The umpire gets a different view of the game from what a wicketkeeper gets and what another fielder gets because they all stand at different positions on the field. Even in daily scenes of life, two people from the same family view a situation from two different positions of the mind. They see it differently and respond differently. Our view can make life either a joyride, which is smooth, or a roller coaster ride, which is full of ups and downs.

➤Let us choose the most positive position of the mind to look at scenes of life. That position is from where there is an outward flow of our positive qualities like peace, love and happiness to the scene. That position is where our inner beauty expresses itself freely and impacts the outer situation favourably. Recognizing and choosing the best mental position depends on our personality. If the mind is filled with original soul qualities, then the entire inner space is positive.

➤Otherwise, if the mind is cluttered, that positive point of view becomes rarely accessible to us. When we regularly engage in activities like meditation which promotes self-awareness and introspection, the mind enters a state of positivity. It learns to be oriented towards peace, love, and happiness. Eventuall,y it colours our point of view about every person, situation… and life itself with positivity.

Message for Today

"He who understands the importance of TIME succeeds"

Thought:

When we work on something , this may be one of the reasons why we do not achieve the success we deserve. This is because we fail to realize the importance of time. This sometimes leads to inattention. This causes us to lose valuable time and interfere with what we are doing. Then we are unable to give our best to that task.

Solution:

We should understand the importance of time. So that we never postpone what we can do now. Then we will always keep in mind the motto “If not now, then never”. Even if we know that we can do the task now and that we will not be able to do it as well in the future , we can still give our best to everything we do now. This helps us to use our time in a useful way. And success comes to us much more easily.
