"Stable In Appreciation" ➤ Positive Reflections on 8 Oct 2023 (Daily Thought Reflections by Awakening with Brahma Kumaris) ⇦ Reflections 2023-10-08 Stable In Appreciation ⇦ ⇨ When people appreciate us for who we are or what we do, what they say about us is not truly about us. They actually reflect their quality to be able to see niceness in us. It is their opinion about us, their perspective, and is subject to change. Let us thank them for their gesture but not get carried away or get addicted to appreciation. Your social media post got very few Likes. Your boss did not recognize the efforts you put on a project over the weekend. ➤Your family has rarely acknowledged your care and love for them. Do these factors demotivate you? Do you sense a subtle but sure need for appreciation? Receiving a compliment is one thing, seeking it is completely another. Appreciation is subjective. One person might praise us while another can bring us down. Getting addicted to praise can affect our life’s decisions - we will constantly do things to impress people. When someone appreciates us, it reflects that person’s beautiful personality to see the goodness in us. ➤So appreciation is more about them, not us. This understanding helps us remain stable and humble. It keeps our ego in check. Do not consume appreciation. Instead, say Thank you to God and surrender the compliment to Him. Also humbly thank the person who was kind to praise you. ➤Always remind yourself that you are a humble being and be an embodiment of that. Radiate love and care to everyone. Play your roles and responsibilities sincerely. When people are happy with your qualities and your talents, they appreciate you. But you don’t get affected or excited as you do what you do selflessly and not for recognition, you remain your authentic self. Each time you are appreciated, immediately remind your mind that you are God's instrument. ➤You were chosen to do it, those people were destined to get it and you were as fortune to be a part of that scene. You thank God, surrender the praise to God, thank people for the opportunity and you also confess to people that their appreciation is a reflection of their own goodness, it shows their nature to notice goodness in others. Remain stable in appreciation, do not expect it, do not accept it for yourself, it does not affect you. Make humility your natural way of living. Suggested Link ➔ LEARN: "RajYog Meditation"

"India: The Golden Sparrow" ➤ Positive Reflections on 25 Nov 2023 (Daily Thought Reflections by Awakening with Brahma Kumaris) ⇦ Reflections 2023-11-25 India – The Golden Sparrow ⇦ ⇨ India is an ancient country in the world with a very rich heritage. It was known as the Golden Sparrow of the World. It is a beautiful country and is considered a very important land of spirituality and devotion. India gave the world the purest deities or devi devtas who are worshipped even till now; famous and noble personalities in different spheres; spiritual wisdom of the soul, God and the World Drama and very importantly immense love for God. ➤God is remembered as the Supreme Father and Mother in prayers in India. At the end of Kaliyug or the Iron Age, which is the present time, God or the Incorporeal (non-physical) Supreme Soul performs His task of world transformation and makes India the Golden Sparrow of the World again, a world of pure and virtuous deities, which is also called Satyug or the Golden Age. Let's look at 5 ways in which we can help God in this task: 1 ● Remembering God in meditation and radiating pure vibrations to the world. 2 ● Listening to God's spiritual wisdom and making the mind and intellect positive. 3 ● Creating a pure, peaceful, loveful, and joyful atmosphere in our homes, offices, and in the world. 4 ● Making each thought, habit, word, and action beautiful, sweet, and humble. 5 ● Sharing spiritual wisdom received from God, with others we meet and talk to.

Being Free From The Desire For Praise (Part 1) : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2024-07-22 SHARE⇗ ⇦ ⇨ Being Free From The Desire For Praise (Part 1) A very common feeling in our everyday lives which some of us experience is a desire for praise for what we have done. It is commonly said that perform good actions for yourself, for your family and friends as well as for the world but do not desire praise in return for those actions. This is sometimes easy to remember but difficult to practice for many. Some people say is it not natural to expect recognition for what I do in society or in my office or at home. Some people also feel that their good actions must be seen by a large number of people. Otherwise, they don’t feel inspired to perform them. ➤Let’s look at an example of an actor. When an actor performs well, he receives praise for his performance. When he does not, people talk against the performance. So he feels happy and sad depending on his performance, as perceived by people, although he has worked hard, with equal dedication, for both his performances. ➤In the same manner, a sportsperson, who is famous and successful, loses his fame to a considerable extent, once he retires and other younger sportspersons take his place in the same sport, who sometimes succeed more than him. So, it’s not wrong to feel happy when you get praise. But it’s not good to base your happiness on praise, because then it becomes a dependency. ➤Also, perform actions with a sense of detachment, because you may or may not get praise for those actions, but you should remain equally happy in both cases. In this message, we look at a few simple methods to become free from such desires. (Continues tomorrow...) Suggested ➔ Read "How to Enjoy Life" Quote of the day "The one desire for perfection ends all other desires" Expression : The desire for perfection brings the capacity to keep on learning from all situations. There is something new to learn and so there are no other desires. Since the mind is busy with bringing about perfection, there is no time for waste and negative. There is the ability to transform negative to positive. Experience : Love for perfection makes me experience constant progress. I have no thought about what I have to get but continue to attain from each moment and each situation. I am then naturally free from all other desires. Previous Next day

Transforming Negative Thoughts to Positive (Part 3) : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2025-03-18 SHARE⇗ ⇦ ⇨ Transforming Negative Thoughts to Positive (Part 3) To create positive sanskaras of inner strength, we need to first take the foremost step of determination. Determination means a strong promise to the self that I will change my thought patterns from negative to positive. That is the first realization. Then, we need to select one particular sanskara of weakness that disturbs us and does not let us be powerful. ➤For e.g., if I have the habit of being impatient in difficult situations, then first I need to fill myself with that quality through self-effort. Until I do that, no matter how much I may try to be patient in any situation, because I am lacking the quality at the level of the sanskara and since the weakness has not been erased completely, it will be difficult for me to be patient. Let’s say on a particular day, I am in the middle of a traffic jam. If I say to myself that all these vehicles on my way should get cleared in the next five minutes, but they take half an hour, will I be able to remain calm in those extra twenty five minutes, which I did not anticipate or expect? ➤So, what I require is patience. If I say to myself in those twenty five minutes that I have to be patient, will I experience that quality? I will not unless that quality is in my sanskara or part of my personality. So, it is like filling myself with a lot of happiness and then I will experience that quality. I cannot say to myself – I am a very happy person and experience happiness alone. I need to first fill myself with that quality and then happiness will come naturally to me. ➤So, it’s about being natural and not theoretical alone i.e. I should be an embodiment or a practical form of every quality and power and not just repeat inside my mind that I have that quality or power. This applies to all the different qualities and powers that are required in crossing negative situations or circumstances. ➤Meditation fills us with these qualities and powers very easily. This is because meditation is a beautiful relationship and connection with the Supreme Source of spiritual energy and power – God. God is full of those qualities and powers and never loses them ever, unlike us, who need to fill ourselves when we lose them. Suggested ➔ "Self Love & Self-transformation" Quote of the day "Success is achieved through effort made with strong intention" Thought : Instead of relating success to how much effort we put in, we relate it to how much we get. So, sometimes when our expectations are not met, we tend to think negatively because we think we have not succeeded. This does not encourage us to try again. Process : When I have a strong intention to succeed, I will do better. When others see how hard I work, they will do what they can to help me achieve my goals. When I have a strong intention to succeed, even if I don't get the results I expected, I grow and improve. Previous Next day

It empowers us to resist temptations, overcome distractions, and maintain focus during challenges. If you believe ‘you can’ and have the strong desire to do so, then despite setbacks, it’s your will power that makes you ‘try, try, try again’. Both ‘will’ and ‘power’ are released when you go from ‘will do’ to ‘doing things willingly’. Suggested Link ➔ Read "Increasing Willpower" Please SHARE this page link

When you talk to yourself in your mind, which self do you address? And how? Usually people do not talk to their divinity, but to the most superficial aspects of their everyday personality. And often it's a stream of fears, complaints & mindless repetition. Learn to talk to your mind as if it were a child. Talk to it with love. Be a good mother to your mind, teach it good, positive thoughts so that when you tell it to sit quietly, it will. Love your mind as your baby child. Suggested Link ➔ How to Tolerate, Forgive & Heal?

The Key To Relationships – Unconditional Love (Part 5) : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2024-12-20 SHARE⇗ ⇦ ⇨ The Key To Relationships – Unconditional Love (Part 5) Sacrifice in any relationship is an important characteristic or quality that one needs to imbibe to make it successful. Remember the one who only keeps himself or herself ahead without caring for the needs of the other in a relationship is the one who loses respect. Also, he or she is the one who can lead in the relationship with the head but is the loser when it comes to the heart. The one who gives up the ego to accommodate the needs of the other is the true winner in a relationship of love, which could be relationship involving any two people and in any type of relationship. ➤We are not necessarily talking about relationships between life partners, which some people think are the most difficult relationship to play. So, wherever it may be, the one who says I in every dealing is the loser at the level of the heart. That means he or she will lose the blessings of the other person, even though he or she may be smarter and more skilled than the other and the other person accepts that also. So respect is gained externally by the egoistic role player but love and respect are lost internally. ➤You must have heard some time ago that to fear is not to respect, which happens with egoistic people. Egoistic people are sometimes respected out of fear because they are more skilled in many ways and good at doing many things in the world and also good at making things work their way. But what they are lacking is humility and the way to win people’s hearts. ➤Remember, there have been people in the world who have been more successful because they were compassionate and sweet-natured. They are not necessarily the best at the ways of the world and being skilled and the best at achieving success on a materialistic level. Humble people are true leaders of people’s hearts and God helps them to achieve success, because of this quality that they possess. (Continues tomorrow...) Suggested ➔ Most Divine "BK songs" Quote of the day "Changing one's attitude is changing the World" Thoughts to ponder: When there is a problem in a particular relationship, we are unable to think constructively about that person. It becomes difficult to remove the negative environment created by our negative attitude. This only makes the relationship and the situation worse. Process : The only way to improve a relationship is to change our own attitude towards that person and create a positive environment. This inner, silent change creates a positive impact on people through subtle vibrations. By changing my attitude, I create a more beautiful world for myself and others. My presence there has a positive impact on people. Previous Next day

"Asserting Without Arrogance" ➤ Positive Reflections on 14 Nov 2023 (Daily Thought Reflections by Awakening with Brahma Kumaris) ⇦ Reflections 2023-11-14 Asserting Without Arrogance ⇦ ⇨ In our different roles at family and workplace, we need to be assertive in order to influence people to get desirable results. Assertiveness helps us to politely state our opinions, respect others, be firm and be flexible to change. But if we do not take care, we can shift towards arrogance and look down upon others, to feel superior. In our various roles, we need to exercise influence on people, so that we achieve desirable outcomes. We all begin asserting ourselves humbly, but at times we find ourselves becoming pushy or arrogant. 1 ● Assertive communication is a skill you can master with practice. Think clearly and speak humbly. Choose fewer and right words to state your opinion. Be confident and respectful. Focus on achieving the goal rather than winning the conversation. 2 ● Remember that you are speaking to another pure being, not to a role or position. The other person may resist, oppose, or question your views. They may even be rude. Have compassion for their behaviors. Be your respectful self and listen patiently. 3 ● Detach from your point of view to see their perspective. Identify their concerns and address them. When they feel valued, they respect you and become more receptive. 4 ● Once everyone agrees, calmly communicate responsibilities, set timelines, establish rules and discipline people with dignity. 5 ● Do not compromise on your values. Stand by them firmly, without fearing consequences. Suggested Link ➔ Read: "Overcoming Anger"
