Positive Thinking Quotes

Wherever I am is wherever I am meant to be, whatever I am doing is whatever I am meant to be doing and whatever everyone else is doing is exactly what they are meant to be doing - this is contentment. If you do want to change where you are, or what you are doing, the first thing is to be content with wherever you are and whatever you are doing right now! Paradoxically that's what attracts opportunities and invitations to be somewhere else! Why? Because you are a living magnet, and contentment is one of your most attractive qualities. And the law of attraction says that according to your dominant thoughts so you will attract the people and circumstances into your life. Being content right now attracts the best possible future.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

If kindness, patience, honesty, and generosity are qualities that you believe in, you make every effort to practice those qualities at work.

Treat people with kindness and respect. If someone is late or makes a mistake, you try to be patient. Even if it’s your job or appropriate to reprimand someone, you do so from a foundation of love and respect.

In a given day, you have so many opportunities to practice patience, acts of kindness, and forgiveness. You have time to think loving thoughts, smile, embrace others, and practice gratitude. You can practice being non-defensive and a better listener.

You can try to be compassionate, particularly with difficult or abrasive people. Practice the way you greet people and deal with conflict. You can practice in virtually everything that you do.

Although there is an understanding of the need for being sweet in words and interactions, many times we find ourselves being rude to people. Although we try a lot to be nice and sweet (we are successful a few times too!) yet we are not able to sustain this all the time. There is some kind of negativity directly or indirectly expressed through our words and actions. This further creates negativity in our minds. When we are able to keep our mind sweet, i.e., free from any kind of bitterness or ill feelings, we are able to experience the beauty of life. There is no feeling of sorrow or negativity but the mind is nurtured to further positivity with everything that comes our way. So we are further open to all that is nice and beautiful and we express our own freshness and beauty in interactions. We are then able to experience constant growth and progress.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

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.

~ 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.

Unhappiness is experienced when there is no newness in dealing with the variety of life's situations. We continue to think the same way and act in the same way, so we are caught up in the same vicious cycle. We are not able to see anything new in the new situations that come our way. These turn to burdensome thoughts that drain out positive energy. We experience a lot of happiness when there is newness brought in responding to situations. The potential and the energy of the mind is channelised in a positive way so there is an experience of fulfillment and satisfaction. The mind is not caught up with negative or waste but is busy trying for the best solutions in all situations, and life itself becomes more beautiful.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

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.

Whatever is in your heart that is not clean, not true, will ultimately begin to act like a wall, obstructing the natural flow of love. People who say that there is no love in their life, are being blocked by this wall. Actually there is love, but they just cant accept it. Ego is the clearest example of this. Ego limits the flow of love by placing conditions on the love you give and receive. Ego uses love to satisfy its own needs and desires. It produces a love which is deceptive, one which brings only temporary satisfaction. Ego does not allow you to experience true love or share it. If fact, ego is capable of destroying your ability to feel love altogether.

~ 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.

Detachment brings perfection. When there is detachment, there is the ability to see things for what they are. One is not colored 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 colored 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.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

The one who works to remove the sorrow of others is the one who is loved by all. When there is the one aim of helping to remove the sorrow of others, there will be nothing negative while dealing with others. There will also be no expectations from others. Working with the natural desire to bring benefit to as many as possible, enables one to continue to contribute to whatever extent possible. When we are able to have this one desire of helping others be more happy, We are able to make a contribution for others' happiness and progress. We then find that others naturally appreciate our selfless contribution and their good wishes help us feel light and experience progress.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Introversion brings out the positivity within. Every human being has an innate positive nature because of the inherent qualities of love, peace, happiness etc. that are within. Introversion, the practice of looking within, enables one to be in constant touch with oneself and one's true nature. It helps express these qualities in everything that is done. Because of having practiced for a long time with them, these qualities emerge very naturally at the time of need. The practice of being introverted helps us in experiencing those qualities within ourselves, which otherwise remain hidden during difficult situations. Thus it makes us have true self-respect and enables us to finish our ego. It also gives us the power to recognise and accept our mistakes, thus giving the courage to work on them successfully.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

The secret of good health is good nourishment and exercise. We need daily nourishing food and exercise to maintain a healthy body and it takes care and attention to fulfill this responsibility. Making the effort underlines our value and importance as a human being. However, the human spirit needs the same attention in the form of the thoughts we have and how the mind puts them to use. Feeding both body and mind with nourishing food gives a powerful and consistent message to respect and co-operate with one another. This is holistic good health.
