Let go and let God. This is the quickest and easiest path to complete peace in a hectic world.

When you let go of negative energy in negative situations, it makes room for peaceful and positive energy. Negative and positive emotion cannot occupy the same space, so you must let go of one, to experience the other.

Forgiving another usually means you have let go, and it is you who gains the benefit of letting go..once you realize this, you will never hang on to useless negative emotion for long periods of time. Look at children, they never seem to hang on for long, they let go very easily, then completely forget.

Try and make a conscious decision today, to let go. Watch your emotions and interactions with others, and take control of yourself. Stick to the conscious path of self observation, you'll be glad you did because the rewards are tremendous..I guarantee it.

Every day you awake is another chance to give thanks and praise for all the blessings you have.
Remember today to think about your spiritual goals for the day, for they are the most important goals you will ever have.

Without spiritual goals, all other goals are meaningless.You can have material goals in your life, but have some spiritual goals as well, they will give more meaning to your life. Spiritual goals will ultimately lead you to remembering your Spirit.

At the end of the day, give thanks again...you will feel satisfied that you have made another step closer to what you were put on this earth for, and that is to move closer to God, through your spiritual goals.

Find out who is it that is present when the mind thinks, and when it is silent, and you will find who you are.

A disciple and his teacher were walking through the forest. The disciple was disturbed by the fact that his mind was in constant unrest. He asked his teacher: "Why most people's minds are restless, and only a few possess a calm mind? What can one do to still the mind?"

The teacher looked at the disciple, smiled and said: "I will tell you a story. An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree. A small fly came, flying and buzzing near his ear. The elephant waved it away with his long ears. Then the fly came again, and the elephant waved it away once more".

This was repeated several times. Then the elephant asked the fly: "Why are you so restless and noisy? Why can't you stay for a while in one place?"

The fly answered: "I am attracted to whatever I see, hear or smell. My five senses pull me constantly in all directions and I cannot resist them. What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still?"

The elephant stopped eating and said: "My five senses do not rule my attention. Whatever I do, I get immersed in it. Now that I am eating, I am completely immersed in eating. In this way I can enjoy my food and chew it better. I rule and control my attention, and not the other way around."

The disciple's eyes opened wide and a smile rose on his face. "I understand! If my five senses are in control of my mind and attention, then my mind is in constant unrest. If I am in charge of my five senses and attention, then my mind becomes calm". "

Yes, that's right", answered the teacher, " The mind is restless and goes wherever the attention is. Control your attention, and you control your mind".

Attachment brings fear of loss, and stands in the way of overcoming habits and fears, and developing strength and independence. Attachment is like chaining the legs to a post or a heavy rock. Detachment, on the other hand, frees from fixed habits and behavior, and brings peace of mind.

Every time you reject and refuse to appease any senseless, unimportant and unnecessary desire, you charge the battery of your will power and self-discipline.

By training your will power you strengthen it, just as you strengthen your muscles by lifting heavy weights at a gym. You make some effort in order to gain a stronger will.

You "sacrifice" a pleasure for the sake of gaining something better.

A positive attitude means thinking in terms of possibilities and expecting the best, but also taking positive actions to achieve positive results. It means that even when you encounter failure you do not lose your faith, but try again. It means doing, acting and trying no matter what the circumstance are.

Desire and motivation are like a powerful engine that keeps pushing you forward. They determine how much zest, life, energy and ambition you put in everything you do. Without them there is standing still and no advancement.

By consciously choosing how to act and react, you acquire the power to control the outcome of your actions, and develop and strengthen the inner muscles of will power and self-discipline.

Patience adds grace, respect and tolerance. It helps you make your life happier, more satisfying and successful. I believe you agree with me that life would be more pleasant, if more patience is exhibited.Will power can hold and rivet the attention in one place without swerving. As you strengthen your will power, you will find that your power of concentration increases too.

Will power is one of the essential keys for the mastery of the mind and attaining good concentration ability.

People who possess self-discipline are able to set goals and work towards their achievement day after day, until they accomplish them. They are able to make sustained efforts. Anything worthwhile needs sustained effort to achieve, and without self-discipline there is no sustained effort.

Lack of will power makes it difficult to stick in one direction, when there are so many other pleasant things to do or choose, and which offer immediate gratification. This turns into a vicious circle, where one manifests no will power and self-discipline, but follows his/her every whim and desire.

DAILY GURU

Saturday 20th Of November 2004

Will power and self-discipline are two of the most important and useful inner powers in everyone's life, and have always been considered as essential tools for success in all areas of life. Yet, in spite of this, only few take any steps to develop and strengthen them in a systematic way.

Will power and self-discipline are two of the main ingredients of every kind of success. Their possession will help you overcome weakness and dependability, and gain strength and independence. You will be able make decisions and follow them. You will learn to pull your own strings, have control over your habits, behavior, actions and reactions, and gain the ability to manifest inner strength in every situation.

Feelings and emotions are like electricity. Without electricity, even the best tool or instrument cannot work. Without feelings and emotions, it is difficult for thoughts to materialize.

Think about the benefits of realizing your desire, and the pleasure it is going to bring you. You may even daydream a little about your goal. This will cause your desire to get stronger, and make you more determined to succeed. The feeling of anticipation, and the eagerness to start moving things, will get stronger.

You deserve prosperity as does everyone else. If other people are prosperous, so can you be. There is no reason to feel bitter and resentful. I do not mean that everyone can become a billionaire. Not everyone has the talent, or really desires to be a billionaire. But you can certainly be prosperous and well off, whoever you are.

You can choose to believe that you do not deserve money, and you can choose to believe that you do deserve it. It is just a thought in the mind, but this thought has a great influence on your life.

So what do you choose?

Why limit our thinking? Why let circumstances dictate what we think?

If we constantly think about our existing circumstances, we limit ourselves to experiencing these circumstances and situations over and over again in a variety of forms. We limit our life by not thinking beyond our circumferences. If we keep recreating in our minds the same kind of life, how can anything new happen?To widen the circumference of your life, think bigger thoughts.

To widen the scope of your life, dare to think beyond your immediate circumstances. Dare to think big. You can think beyond the boundaries of your reality.

If your life at the present is not to your liking, and you feel unhappy and limited, it need not be so. Open your mind to unlimited thinking and the impossible becomes possible.

A clear mental image radiates from the mind of the one thinking it, and is transmitted to other minds. Whoever is receptive to this kind of thought may perceive it and act on it, thus being the agent to fulfill the desire.

Every thought we think arouses an associated emotion. If the emotion is strong enough, it incites to action. Strong thoughts energized by emotions cause more energetic and definite action than weak thoughts. Such an action brings results in accordance with the thought that prompted it.

It is quite probable that you will find it hard to think positively whilst you are in a negative mood. Remind yourself that thoughts have power, and as repeated thoughts materialize, it is not wise to mess with negative ones.

DAILY GURU

Monday 15th Of November 2004

Our thoughts arise from the Universal power, and if they are powerful enough, they materialize into reality. Our minds are one with the creative power of the Universal Mind, and therefore every thought that passes through our minds has the seed of creation in it.

Success through visualization manifests in all areas of life, from small things to big ones, from finding a parking place in a busy area, to becoming a president of a country.

Thoughts are the creators of your life and circumstances. By altering the thoughts in your mind, you can create a different reality. You can reshape, transform, improve and bring miracles into your life.

Nowadays the terms self-improvement, self-growth and self-help have become popular. We find many books about these subjects and many websites too. It seems that people are turning inside to find the solution to their problems. They seek knowledge, techniques, workshops, lectures and teachers who can show them the way. People begin to understand that self improvement and self growth improve the quality of life.

The subconscious mind is one of the major keys to self-improvement and self-growth. By changing the contents of the subconscious mind you change your habits, behavior and attitudes. This is brought about by thinking, meditation, visualization and affirmations.

The process of inner change requires inner work. It is not enough to read, you have to practice what you read, and this needs time and effort. There is no such thing as instant self improvement. Any inner change takes time, and there must be motivation, desire, ambition, perseverance and dedication. Outer and inner resistance and opposition must be taken into account too.

Upon starting any self improvement program, most people usually encounter inner resistance that come from their old habits and their subconscious mind, and also resistance and opposition from the people around them.

Visualizing and thinking with concentration, desire and faith, and repeating these thoughts often, unleashes powerful energy. Your thoughts get radiated and broadcasted, influencing the minds of other people, and attracting to you people who think along the same lines as you do and who can help you with your plans. This process also heightens your awareness and perceptiveness of any opportunity connected with your thoughts that comes your way, and fills you with the inner power and initiative to utilize it.

Why not become conscious of your thoughts, choose to think the ones that are beneficial for you, and consciously and advantageously utilize the power of attraction? You can attract people, circumstances, events, possessions or a life style with the magnetic power of attraction of your mind.

Remember, what you think about intently, with attention and feeling is attracted to you. It can be material and it can be spiritual. The power of attraction is a universal power and manifests everywhere and in everything. It is the power that holds the Universe together. Without it there would not be any world.

Like a magnet, your mind not only attracts, but also repels. If you do not believe you can get or accomplish something, then you repel it. Thoughts of incompetence, weakness, fear and inferiority create a repellent force. It is as if you are creating a wind that blows away and prevents certain things to reach you.

There are several ways to charge your mind and thoughts with magnetic power. Strong desire, concentration and faith are some of the important ingredients for infusing power into thoughts. Many activate the magnetic power of their mind unconsciously, without knowing what they are doing.

When you know the rules, you become able to activate the magnetic power of your mind consciously, positively and effectively.

What is self discipline?
It is the rejection of instant gratification in favor of something better. It is the giving up of instant pleasure and satisfaction for a higher and better goal.

It manifests as the ability to stick to actions, thoughts and behavior, which lead to improvement and success. Self-discipline is self-control, and it manifests in spiritual, mental, emotional and physical discipline.

The purpose of self-discipline is not living a limiting or a restrictive lifestyle. It does not mean being narrow minded or living like a fakir. It is one of the pillars of success and power. It endows the inner strength to focus all the energy on a goal and persevere until it is accomplished.

DAILY GURU

Monday 8th Of November 2004

The power of the mind draws certain events, circumstances and people into our lives and repels others. In this respect it resembles a magnet. Just look at the people around you. Some pass through certain events and circumstances, while others pass through different experiences. Some accomplish certain things easily, and others accomplish them with great difficulty or not at all.

Your mind is composed of the thoughts you think. These thoughts are like magnetic currents. If you think positively about some event or action, it turns out to be as you thought about it. If you harbor negative thoughts, this negativity is drawn into your life.

You attract into your life what you think about frequently. It does not mean that every thought gets materialized. Most of the thoughts are weak and are not repeated long enough to gain sufficient strength. Weak thoughts, like a weak magnet, hardly have any attractive power.

DAILY GURU

Saturday 6th Of November 2004

Learn not to accept every thought that you encounter. Find first whether it is for your own good to follow it. It may not be so easy at the start, because the mind will revolt against this control.

If you want to be the master of your mind and life, you should not let other people's thoughts, desires and motives rule your life, unless you consciously choose so.

DAILY GURU

Friday 5th Of November 2004

Everyone has desires, ambitions and dreams that he or she may foster from childhood. They may be the thoughts of their parents, teachers and friends, and which have lodged into our minds, and are carried around throughout our lives. Are they necessary? Do we need all this excessive baggage?

In order to reduce the power of outside influences and thoughts on your life, you need to be aware of the thoughts and desires that enter your mind, and ask yourself whether you really like them, and are willing to accept them into your life. Analyze your motives and actions, and you will be surprised to find out that many of them were triggered by outside influences.

You do not have to accept each and every thought, idea or information. Think and find out whether you entertain certain thoughts because you decided to do so, or because they just popped into your head due to outside influences.

DAILY GURU

The secret to inner and outer abundance is to constantly give thanks for the blessings you have in your life, instead of focusing on what you don't have.

Always give thanks for what you have, even if it is so little, because you may find, that it is more than what a lot of others may have.

Cultivate the feeling of being blessed, because this feeling will multiply and project itself outwards.

In this feeling lies the kingdom of heaven.

DAILY GURU

Wednesday 3rd Of November 2004

Most people think and believe that their thoughts originate from them, but have they ever stopped and considered whether their thoughts, desires, likes and dislikes are really theirs? Maybe they are outside influences that they have unconsciously accepted?

If there is no filter to process the thoughts that enter the mind, there is no freedom. Then all actions are like the actions of a puppet on a string, though no one will admit it.

You may object and say that the thoughts that pass through your mind are yours, but are they? Have you deliberately and attentively created every thought that entered your mind?

DAILY GURU

Monday 1st Of November 2004

Each time you catch yourself thinking a negative thought, change it into a positive one. If you catch yourself visualizing failure, switch to visualizing success. If you hear yourself repeating negative words, switch to positive ones. If you hear yourself saying, "I cannot", say to yourself, "I can". Do you repeat useless and unnecessary negative words and phrases in your mind? Change them to positive ones.

Open your mind to positive attitude, happenings and events. Expect them and think about them, and soon you life will change for the better.

Decide that from today, from this very moment, you are leaving negative thinking behind, and starting on the way towards positive thinking and behavior. It is never too late. Soon your life will turn into a fascinating, wonderful journey.
