Self-respect is often mistaken for arrogance when in reality it is the opposite. When we can recognize all our good qualities as well as our faults with neutrality, we can start to appreciate ourselves as we would a dear friend and experience the comfortable inner glow of self-respect. To embrace the journey towards our full potential we need to become our own loving teacher and coach.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
In spiritual terms, royalty refers to an inner state of dignity and an attitude of service to humanity. Before taking charge of others, let us learn to rule our own heart and mind with love and compassion. Let us focus not on other people's weakness, not demand anything of anyone, and always be available to support and encourage. A leader of this kind does not chase after power and position, or expect anyone to obey; yet others naturally want to follow.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Everyone wants to be loved for who they are. When we appreciate others it boosts their self-esteem and helps them pass on a loving attitude to others. Even though we may not see the result immediately, love always works.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
