Positive Thinking Quotes

Enthusiasm makes even difficult things easy. Enthusiasm makes the biggest obstacle look like a very tiny one. It makes even a storm(toofan) to be like a gift(tohfa) and makes us enjoy each situation like a game. And when we have the awareness that there's nothing that is difficult, we can surely achieve what we want to. We should be able to change our consciousness in such a way that when obstacles come our way, we should automatically be filled with more enthusiasm to work at and overcome these obstacles. With our enthusiasm we will surely find a way to make things happen.

Simplicity comes with love for internal solitude. When I develop love for internal solitude, I'll be able to go within and experience the qualities and uniqueness within myself. Then, instead of searching for happiness from outside, I'll be able to experience the happiness within whilst facing everything that life brings. Each day I need to give a little time exclusively for myself. I need to make an appointment with myself and spend that time in talking positively to myself and experiencing my own uniqueness and specialty. With recognition of these qualities I find my life becoming free from complexity.

Deep inside our consciousness is an oasis of peace. This is the molten core of the soul, but it is not hot, it is cool. Not passive, but a source of inner power to fuel our mind and intellect, so that we can create powerful thoughts and make accurate decisions. If you can learn to go to this centre, peace will be your companion, positivity your partner, and you will be able to chill out in one second, anywhere, anytime. Returning to the centre of your self is the journey of one second. It is the regular destination of clever souls. And it is the source of your power and peace.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

In silence lies the ability to listen; to listen to ourselves, to others and to God. Listening is a lost art. Without it we cannot communicate, we cannot relate to each other and so we cannot live life meaningfully. We need to learn to listen. Sitting in silence allows us to listen to ourselves and to understand. This silence can heal. The worries, the pain can be healed when we listen. Spiritual medicine is ever-present in the soul. Whenever we need it, to whatever extent we need it, we can find it within.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

The one who has respect for the self is the one who gets respect from others. Every human being has innate worth which is pure and virtuous. Faith in the self brings out the potential within and this brings respect for the self. Self-respect makes us self-reliant and brings respect from others. In order to get respect from others, we need to increase our own self-respect. For this, all we need to do is find something unique in ourselves and each morning remind ourselves of this speciality. Also let us make sure we work at least once with this speciality throughout the day.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Humility enables people to realize their mistakes and correct themselves. Real humility results in so much power of truth that we don't need to say anything at all in words. The very power of our inner state of being will make the other person realize the error of their ways. While giving directions or corrections to someone, we need to check our own attitude, reminding ourselves of the humility within and only then say what we have to say. With humility our words will be for their benefit and this will enable them to learn.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Humility comes from an open and clean heart. Humility needs a good home to dwell in. When the mind is filled with negative feelings or biased ideas towards anyone, we cannot use humility. So we need to fill our mind with positive thoughts towards everyone. If we have negative thoughts towards anyone, we need to make an attempt to remove them. We need to tell ourselves that what we don't like about a person is just one particular aspect and not the person himself. In this way we will be able to change our own attitude and also will help the other person to bring about change.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Where there is humility, there is benefit to many. Just as the tree laden with fruit bows down, the one who is full is the one who is humble. Such a person can bring benefit to all those around. Humility makes us a giver in all situations, also making it easy for others to take what we have to offer. In all our interactions with others, It is more important to see what we can give them, instead of just expecting from them. Then, even when we have to follow others' directions there would be no difficulty. Humility helps us to bow very easily.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

The more one is humble, the more there will be success. Humility gives wings to fly. It gives enthusiasm based on inner truth and we can easily move forward. When there is no humility we find ourselves being pulled back again and again by the difficult situations that we ourselves have created. When we do something, we first have to ensure that we are enjoying it and keep reminding ourselves of the joy that we are deriving out of it. Then we are free from the desire for recognition or praise. Then we will find ourselves succeeding in the task that we undertake and we will be appreciated too.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Stability is to remain unshakeable, without any fluctuation in all situations. If we have no stability, even small things begin to upset us. When we have the power of stability, we can be unshakeable in all opposition i.e., even in unfavourable situations. When things are not going very smooth, it is necessary to remind myself that nothing is permanent. When we have the faith that things will surely change, we will be able to maintain our stability in all situations.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Humility brings learning. Where there is humility there is willingness to learn. When humility is lacking, ego comes which doesn't let us learn from all situations and people. The power of humility enables us to learn and move forward. When we're faced with criticism, we need to see what we can learn from it, instead of feeling bad about it. Even things that go wrong have something to teach us, if we are willing to learn. With humility we continue to learn.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Stability comes where there is truth. If we are arguing to prove ourselves right, we are not actually in our stable stage. It is of course necessary to clarify for accuracy, but it is not necessary to argue with stubbornness. If we are arguing, it means we are not convinced about the truth. When involved in an argument with someone, we need to check if we are convinced of the truth of what we are arguing about. If we are sure, then we need to remind ourselves that we needn't argue because truth will be revealed on its own. This will ensure our stability in that particular situation. Then we can clear things out with a cool mind.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

The one who is generous gets everything and is yet free from desires. When we are generous we would have no expectations from others or situations. Then we are able to appreciate all the good things that life brings our way. Also the more we are able to be beyond desires the more we find that what is right comes to us. When we find ourselves expecting something, we need to tell ourselves that we will surely get what is right for us. So we need not ask for anything, but enjoy and use everything that comes our way for our benefit and for the benefit of others.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

To have attention is to be free from tension. Tension comes when little things are neglected and they result in big things. The attention that is needed is not paid and so they result in tension. When there is attention at every step, little things are taken care of. Attention also means constant checking of the self and introspection, which brings self-correction immediately. When we have attention on little things, we are able to keep our mind cool and calm. Challenging situations or people don't take us away from our state of well-being. As we are in constant touch with our own inner qualities, we are free from the influence of the outside environment and we move on towards further empowerment.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

In order to create good relationships... - with your mind, think about what you have to learn from others, - with your eyes, look into good qualities of others, - with your words, recognise, value and appreciate their accomplishments, - with your actions, cooperate and do something for others.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

To experience inner virtues is to spread fragrance. Like a rose which continues to spread its fragrance to everyone it comes into contact with, the one who is in touch with inner qualities and virtues is able to do the same. When there is the experience of the inner qualities, there is a natural expression of these qualities in every act and in every interaction. When we are able to constantly be in touch with our inner qualities, we are able to experience the positivity in everything we come into contact with. We remain happy and content with whatever life brings our way, yet we can continue to make the best of every situation, colouring it with our own virtues.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
