Positive Thinking Quotes

To be experienced means not to be deceived by anything. There are so many times when a situation takes us by surprise and we make the same mistake that we had made before. It is only when the situation has passed that we realise that we have actually repeated that mistake. What then remains is only repentance as the time has passed where we could have done something. Whenever there is a mistake, we need to take care that we learn from whatever has happened. When we continue to move forward in this way there will be no repentance for the mistakes made but there will be learning that'll make us experienced. And when we are experienced we'll never be deceived by situations which make us commit mistakes.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

The one who has faith is always carefree.

When things go wrong we tend to worry a lot. Many waste
questions come up in our mind troubling us throughout the
difficult time. We are not able to be free from these kind of
waste thoughts and tend to feel heavy. The way to be light
at all times is to develop the faith that things will work out
fine. Even during the difficult situation we need to maintain
the faith that there will be something good that will emerge
from the situation. This will enable us to be light even during
the most difficult situation.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Few words are required when thoughts are positive.

I sometimes find myself using a lot of words to convey what I feel or to give explanations to others. Yet I sometimes find that others are not convinced with my words. I am then at a loss about what is to be done.

Positive thoughts actually reach out to others and create the right environment. All I need to do is to create an atmosphere of positivity by maintaining my own positive thoughts. Then I will not have to use so many words to prove my point or to convince others.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Even the most difficult task is made easy with the cooperation of all. When given a responsibility we usually think of doing it alone. We usually feel it is much easier not to involve many. We do this in order to avoid the different kinds of personalities that we have to deal with. When involved in a big task, we need to see to it that we involve many. When we involve many and make sure we make use of their specialities even the most difficult task will be made easy.

Secondly, the good wishes of all involved will be for the task which will add to its success.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Someone may relate some news to you once and you enjoyed that very much because it was something new. Sometimes it happens that you listen to them once and so where will they go the second time? They will come to you. You became a dustbin for them. Whatever such news they have, they will come and relate that to you because you listened to them before. Otherwise, explain to them and liberate them from such matters. Do not increase your interest by listening to them.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

The immense power of humility is useful in your protection as well as protection of others. It allows you to learn from and see the benefit in everything, even in the insults of others. You don't feel the need to get upset. Your self-respect works to keep you steady. Even if the problem is theirs, not yours and there is nothing to change in yourself, humility removes the need for you to say so.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Humility as a power is based on a very elevated awareness of who you are. Such a high state of consciousness makes you very cool, very peaceful and very loving. One who has humility constantly remains happy and makes others happy too. They say (and feel) that whatever I am, whatever I've got, its fine, I'm happy, I'm content.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

To be generous hearted is to bestow others with one's own specialities and virtues. The one who is generous becomes cooperative and enables others to become virtuous through his own virtues and fills others with his specialities. To use specialities in this way, is to ensure that they increase. Let us think of something that is very special in us. Today let us take the thought of using this speciality of ours for someone's benefit. Not only will others benefit with this, we will find ourselves improving too.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

The one who is simple is the one who is free from pain. When I am simple I am able to be free from pain or hurt even in adverse situations. I am able to take benefit from the wealth of experiences accumulated over the past without feeling the pain. With simplicity I know that I need to remember the past only to the extent that I have to learn from it. When something goes wrong and I find myself thinking about it again and again, I need to remind myself that all the past experiences are only for me to learn from them. The past is finished and I don't have to undergo the sorrow again thinking about the past repeatedly.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Normally we tend to associate success with what we get, rather than how much effort we put in. So sometimes when things don't turn out the way we expect them to, we tend to have negative feelings because of the thought of being unsuccessful. So we tend to stop putting in further efforts for success. When we put in accurate efforts for the success of every task, we naturally try to do the best. Because of our own contribution, others too help us and contribute whatever they can to achieve what we set out to do. So there is success in everything. When we do the right thing, we will be able to experience constant self-progress, even if the result is not what we have expected.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Greatness is visible in simplicity. The simplicity within me brings benefit to many. Simplicity doesn't mean I have to give up all I have, but it only means that I give up the attraction and attachment to whatever I am using. With simplicity my lifestyle takes on an easiness that in itself can be a healing source to those around. I need to make the practice of being detached even while using everything. I need not give up anything, but while using everything, I need to remember that what I have is for the use of everyone and not to get dependent on it. When I am detached in this way I will be able to bring benefit to all around me.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
