When there is simplicity within, the mind is calm and quiet. Simplicity enables us to see the sequence of events around us. Each scene has a meaning connected to the previous and the next one. Simplicity and acceptance help us to play our part to the best of our ability. Whenever we find ourselves questioning anyone's part or any situation, let us just remember that everyone is right according to his part and every scene according to the play of events. This thought enables me to keep my mind free from complications. So we are able to be our best in whatever we do.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
An inner power needed to make accurate decisions is the power to tolerate. Tolerance is not about having to put up with or endure. It's about respect for difference. It is about being able to appreciate diversity, the beauty in that diversity and difference. We need confidence to allow others to do what they are doing. Rigidity is a sign of lack of self confidence and self respect. It is better to have peace with someone than to have 100 percent perfection and tension. The quality of interaction comes from our ability to stop (that is not to be affected or influenced by what the other is doing). When I learn to stop, then I become more perceptive of the situation and am able to do make the right decision.

In order to make accurate decisions, we need the power to discern. This comes from clarity of mind and neutral observing. Let me watch without getting my feelings in the way to get a clear picture and to come to a conclusion/decision. To make right decisions, we must also know when to step in and when to step out. This is maturity – knowing appropriateness.
