***What are you choosing?***
You know the quote:
"Sow an intention and reap a thought
Sow a thought and reap an action
Sow an action and reap a habit
Sow a habit and reap a DESTINY"
By understanding the process, you realize how the choices you make influence your destiny.
The power lies in the realization, that you have a choice.
*** The art of getting along well with others is to create harmony. ***
Expression: To be good to people who are good to us is very easy. But the real beauty of life lies in knowing how to get along well with one and all. That means, I need to know how to empower my interactions so that I am able to get along well even with someone who is not so good to us. Just like notes of music which are different, I need to understand that everyone is different and I need to create beautiful music even in the worst conditions.
Experience: Today I will see what I can do to get along well with one person whom I wasn't comfortable with. It could be some quality that I need to work on. It could be assertiveness or love or any other quality which will help me get along well with the person.
Ego Destroys Love
The difficulty with ego is that it is deeply concealed. Most of us don’t even know we have it. Ego destroys love. It destroys the ability to learn, so there is no more give and take. No more love. We go through many kinds of situations all day long so we should make sure we don’t stop exchanging love. Ego can be overcome by developing humility. If we don't know how to bow love finishes.
Your generosity in putting others forward will automatically place you in front.
Contemplation: When you say 'you first' instead of 'I first' you will be placed forward. For having done the selfless service of putting others forward and encouraging them, you will get plenty of blessings. This will take you forward very quickly.
Application: When there is a conflict with someone, become generous. Instead of expecting the other person to understand you and do according to what you want, listen to what he is saying. When you give a chance in this way you will move forward very quickly
Happiness
I open my eyes to the wonder of being. Delighted in the way things turn out, amazed at the beauty of it all. I am happy.
When there is love, you can tolerate easily.
Thought to Ponder: Love makes you free from expectations, which enables you to accept people as they are. You can then go within yourself and discover your own strengths. You will automatically be a giver in all situations and you can tolerate very easily.
Point to Practice: Think of one person in whom you were not able to tolerate some quality. Now tell yourself that just as a mother accepts her child even with weaknesses, you will accept this person as he is. When you change your attitude towards that person you can be tolerant
