A problem for the whole world?

A problem for the whole world?

One of the ways, we complicate our life and especially the life of those around us is to present our problem as the problem of the whole world. The same with experiences. This complicates the whole situation around us. When my problem which I should deal is presented as the general problem, I confuse everyone around me. Only because I don’t know how to deal with it. Presenting my issue as the issue of everyone is not the solution for my issue.  So, avoid these situations by facing our problems by ourselves with courage to make easy the life of those around us.

My opinion of others

My opinion of others

Opinion of those who are close to us has a great influence on us to create prejudices towards others. What we must train ourselves is to use the opinions as tools at our disposition and not as spectacles through which we see the other person. If we use the opinions of others as eyeglasses, we may lose the opportunity to see the other person from your own perspective. You lose your freedom and you become conditioned. So, train yourself to use the feedbacks about persons as complementary or supplementary and not allow them to take the place of your direct and open experience with that person.

Energy source

Energy source

Our ideals and principles could lose force as time passes if not reinforced by the energy from the source. The main source of Goodness is God who is Absolute Good. One of the ways to be reinforced by God is our closeness to the Word of God from the Sacred Scriptures. A personal relationship with the Scriptures is a great impetus in keeping the goodness of our heart and also to grow in our potentialities of our heart and mind. Relationship with the Word of God is relationship with God itself. So, in being close to Word you will find the strength of the Word being activated in you.

What is important?

What is important?

We do lots of things. We are busy and often we do things with the best of the intentions. But busyness can be a distraction. When urgent things come up, we give up all the rest. Urgency is not same as important. We neglect what needsattention. That drains away the good and beautiful in you. You will miss lot of good   you   should   have   done   or   could   have   done.   Do   not   let   your   busyness neglect   the   important   and   necessary   in   life.   Neglect   does   not   happen overnight. It starts with small things. So, it’s important to keep the heart and eyes open even amid the rush. Otherwise, you accomplish many things but will lose what is precious.

Put the purpose clearly before you

Put the purpose clearly before you

Don’t get dispersed yourself among the different things you would like to do. Multitasking is different from chasing your wishes and fantasies. Your wishes or desires in life should be aligned with a purpose. It is that purpose which puts yours desires or wishes in life in a priority list and encourages you to follow them. If the purpose is missing it will be like running in different directions without a finishing point. At the end of the day, you will be still looking for happiness though you satisfied some of your wishes. Put the purpose clearly before you and you will find your wishes brought into harmony and you have a direction to follow.
