Positive Thinking Quotes

The one who is honest is the one who becomes trustworthy. To be honest means to be honest to oneself too. It is not just being honest or truthful with others. The one who is honest is the one who is able to discover the resources within and use it for the benefit of the self and of others. So he is able to be available for whatever task he is supposed to do. When we are honest with all the resources we have, we find ourselves enriched further. The more we use our resources for the benefit of all, the more we are able to become trustworthy. Others are able to rely on us and we are able to live up to the expectations of others by doing to the best of our ability.

The nourishment of happiness keeps one healthy. To be happy means not to be influenced with the external stimulus for the internal state of happiness, but to discover the joy within. So the one who is constantly in touch with the internal state of happiness is able to express this happiness. The one who is free from internal dis-ease is the one who is free from disease. We are able to enjoy the beauty of everything when we are able to maintain our own inner state of happiness. Our body, mind, relationships, everything is healthy because of this internal state of mind. We are able to enjoy everything we do too and experience constant progress and success.

Detachment brings perfection. When there is detachment, there is the ability to see things for what they are. One is not coloured with one's own feelings and attitudes, but there is the ability to be free from them. So the words and actions that emerge are naturally free from past experiences. So there is the best ability to use the resources available and so there is perfection. Since we are detached, we are able to be in the present and enjoy whatever is available with us. We are able to bring out and experience the inner perfection. We are not coloured with past experiences nor do we limit our own inner powers because of them. We are able to do the best even while experiencing full freedom.

To have positive feelings is to become a safe harbour for all. When there is someone who is working with negativity, it is natural to get caught up with that. But when one's heart is free from negative feelings and emotions, especially for the person concerned, it becomes easy for others to take benefit from one's own positivity. Words and actions are only those that are beneficial for the other person. Our positivity keeps us free from blaming others and enables us to be rich with the variety of experiences that we get. Also others are able to find a safe harbour in us, which gives an environment for the other person's growth. Along with our own progress, we become instrumental for the progress and well-being of those around us too.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

The ability to transform waste into powerful is to be successful. Waste only makes the mind heavy. There is no benefit in looking at and thinking about waste. On the other hand to look beyond what is visibly seen, is to see something beautiful and powerful within what is seemingly waste. So there is the ability to move forward under all circumstances making good use of all the resources. Making effort constantly even in difficult circumstances gives us the power to be further away from all kind of waste. We are constantly light, free and powerful. We also become an inspiration for others around us and our very presence enables them to see beyond the situation and make them free from waste too.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Learning and teaching are players in the same game. If either one stops, everything becomes heavy and ceases to be fun. Learning is the reward for respecting life and teaching is the fruit of experiencing life.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Even if I don't mean to be critical, I often unconsciously home in on others' weaknesses and mistakes. The more I develop the habit of noticing goodness and only holding onto the good in others and situations, the more my own sense of well-being will rise. When I continually think: "He/she is wrong", I create a barrier that prevents me from reaching my own goodness.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Spiritual awareness (soul-consciousness) is cultivated through deliberate practice and only those who have understood the need for this kind of true, inner, self-respect will make the effort. Difficulties will arise to test your resolve for self-upliftment - physical illness, relationships, memories of the past, and so on. Yet with patience and introspection, you will come to see how these very tests are the means to strengthen your spiritual identity.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

There is some darkness in most human minds today, so there is a darkness component in most scenes and situations. Why else is there so much unhappiness and sorrow in the world? So how much value can be given to someone who is able to bring light and lightness to a place or a moment, where others have brought their dark? Like a crown of sparkling jewels, their presence and their words are priceless. It may only be a gentle smile of comfort, an attitude of genuine interest, some words which diffuse an awkward moment. Those who stay light in spirit while others weave their dark are both illuminated and illuminators. Watch out for such a moment today where you may illuminate. Make that moment momentous!

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Sweetness is the ability to see the good in all things. Deep within each and every situation is something good. It only takes a little patience to look within and find it. When we are able to understand the secret behind what is happening, it automatically brings sweetness in our lives. Thus we will be able to spread this to others too. Whatever happens throughout the day, we should be able to see the good in it. Even if we are not able to discover something good at that moment, we should maintain the faith that whatever happens is for the best.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have you ever noticed that happiness is not a dependency, it is a decision? You don't actually need anything to be happy. It's not something that comes from outside, it comes from inside, and when you radiate a happy energy you'll be amazed what it attracts into your life. Don't worry, be happy...sound familiar? Decide now, be happy, and watch magic begin to enter your life.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

The ones with real sweetness are always optimistic. Having understood the secret behind each and everything that is happening, sweetness comes in our lives. Then we automatically find ourselves becoming optimistic. Even under the most difficult situation, we would never let go off our optimism. If we ever find ourselves disheartened or discouraged, we should remind ourselves of our own inner sweetness. We know and understand that things will ultimately happen in the right way, we only have to wait and watch. We have the faith that things will surely change.
