Day 90 Value of Wisdom

 Day 90

วันที่ 31 มีนาคม เป็นวันที่ 90 ของปี

Value : Wisdom

"The one who is wise is aware of the importance of nourishing the mind."

Contemplation

Every day we make time to nourish the body with food. We quickly become aware if we don't give it enough food - we become hungry.  But we are not so aware of the spiritual food we require.  If we are spiritually malnourished, our minds will be too weak to withstand attack from outside.

Application

Reading or listening to something good everyday will keep my mind healthy and happy.  Thinking good thoughts over helps me to remember what I have heard.  Then I become so healthy that when difficult situations come my way I have the inner strength to face them.

Day 89 Value of Trust

 

Day 89

วันที่ 30 มีนาคม เป็นวันที่ 89 ของปี

Value : Trust

"Trust wins co-operation."

Contemplation

When we think we can do things without other people's help, it means that we have become arrogant or are unable to trust others.  This lack of trust means we miss the chance to use others' potential for the benefit of the task in hand.  We are deprived of a useful resource and will not achieve as much as we could by working together.

Application

I need to understand that co-operation can bring greater success.  If I invest my time and resources in training and developing others' potential it will bring out the best in people.  When they contribute more, or use their skills more effectively, we all achieve better results.

Day 87 Value of Connecting to Others

 Day 87

วันที่ 28 มีนาคม เป็นวันที่ 87 ของปี

Value : Connecting to Others

"The one who knows the art of connecting to others is successful."

Contemplation

We are normally kind to people who are good to us.  But when someone is not behaving well, we tend to change our attitude, responses and behavior toward that person.  We wait for the other person to change before changing ourselves.  So we do not find change in others nor in ourselves.

Application

When I see others' inner qualities I connect to them more easily.  I will not be dependent on another person's behavior for my own growth today. Instead, I will see each person's positive aspects and take them within myself.  In this way I will become richer with each interaction.

วันที่ 27 มีนาคม เป็นวันที่ 86 ของปี

Value : Freedom

"To be free from negativity is to be truly free."

Contemplation

All of us like freedom and we expect that others should give us the opportunity to express ourselves as we like.  But sometimes this type of freedom is misused and we are unable to do the right thing.  Such actions based on false freedom harm all of us.

Application

True freedom means being totally free from negativity.  When I free myself from negative influences I will be able to take responsibility for my actions.  Then I automatically have the freedom to do what I want because I will only use my freedom to do things that benefit everyone.

"The one who pays attention to the self will constantly experience progress."

When faced with a situation, it is easy to think and talk about others and their mistakes.  There is hardly any time to think about or understand ourselves and the mistakes we make.  So we continue to repeat our mistakes again and again.

Whatever situation I am faced with, I need to remind myself that I am the one who will benefit if I bring about a change in myself.  With this thought in mind, I will be able to pay attention to my thoughts, words and actions in order to bring about positive change.

"Paying attention to thoughts increases their power."

We need to have a lot of positive thoughts to bring about a change in our lives.  But most of the time we are not able to bring this into practice.  As time passes, a thought loses its importance and we find ourselves caught up in negativity.

Application

I need to keep a chart of my wasteful and negative thoughts as well as my powerful and positive thoughts.  Only when I am consciously aware of how much time I am wasting on negative thoughts will I be able to change.  When I increase the number of positive thoughts, I increase my inner power.

"To listen well is to create harmonious relationships."

Taking the time to listen and understand others helps us to relate to them well.  We need to be concerned not with what is visible, but what we see within them.  This helps us to recognize others' needs and provide an environment in which they can grow.

Application

When I am open to the world of others, I am able to create harmonious relationships.  I will not expect people to be like me, but have respect for what they are, understanding that we are all unique individuals with something special to offer.  By recognizing and celebrating differences, all my relationships will grow stronger.

Application

I must recognize that I am fully responsible for the task at hand - both the big things and the little items - then I'll never be careless.  I'll make a point of taking care of every last aspect.  This will make me more accurate and help me to delegate.

Application

When faced with problems it can seem difficult to maintain inner cheer; the mind gets caught up with more and more negativity, fear or worry.  Because of this, the problem seems bigger than it is and we lose the ability to find solutions and bigger than it is and we lose the ability to find solutions and work constructively.

Application

The first step I need to take when I recognize a problem is to smile to myself.  When I  sure I am happy within, I know that every situation will pass and has something to teach me.  Then I will find solutions come more quickly and easily.

Sometimes when someone says something, there is a tendency to feel hurt even if the other person did not mean to be hurtful.  This is because we hear only the words without understanding their meaning.  This leads to misunderstanding and conflict, and can spoil relationships.

Application

When someone tells me something, I need to learn to the person rather than merely hear his words.  When I am able to understand the intentions behind the words I am able to take something from them instead of creating conflict.

Day 76 Value of Sharing

 

Day 76

วันที่ 17 มีนาคม เป็นวันที่ 76 ของปี

Value : Sharing

"True joy lies in sharing things with others."

Contemplation

When we consider sharing, we sometimes wonder if it is really beneficial.  Often people believe that when we share, we find ourselves a little poorer as a result.  If we believe that only the person we share with benefits, we will find it difficult to share our time and resources.

Application

When we share our inner resources, we reap the benefit.  Every time we give, we not only get back from others but also experience that quality ourselves.  When we share our physical resources, it is our own experience which is important rather than the outcome.  The experience of sharing will inspire others to share with us.

The only way to find a solution is to keep my mind free from worry.  To do this I need first to have the faith that there is a solution and that I will find it.

Application

Even in difficult situations, I need to remind myself that I can enjoy the beauty of life.  I need to enjoy learning from my failures as mush as I enjoy success.  This will allow me to move on, and I will find I have more energy in difficult circumstances.

Application

The best way to deal with a situation is to start by calming the mind.  Only a calm mind can find the answers to problems.  I need to understand that every problem has an answer.  When my mind is relaxed I can trust my intuition to find the answer that is already there.

Day 71

วันที่ 12 มีนาคม เป็นวันที่ 71 ของปี

Value : Honesty

"Honesty provides the solution to problems."

Contemplation

If our reaction to problems or people is to give up or run away, we are deceiving ourselves.  We will not be able to avoid the situation by going elsewhere; this merely puts if off.  If we try to run away from problems rather than dealing with them we will find ourselves experiencing the same difficulties repeatedly.

Application

Instead of trying to change a situation, I need to be honest with myself and address the weakness within me that is causing the problem.  Once I am aware of it, I can work to change it, and will be able to overcome problems in the future.

Most of the time we manage to win over our weaknesses and progress forward, but sometimes we are defeated by our own weaknesses and experience failure. Then instead of progressing, we find ourselves moving backward.

Application

In order to benefit others and myself, I should recognize and remove the last traces of weakness within me.  To do that I need to constantly check the cause of the weakness and remove it.  Such checking and changing helps me to overcome my weaknesses.

Application

It is important to understand the uniqueness of my own role in life, to accept it and to put in effort to play it well.  When I do this, I start to appreciate the purpose of my role on life's stage and use my unique gifts in an appropriate way.

Day 65

วันที่ 6 มีนาคม เป็นวันที่ 65 ของปี

Value : Learning from Mistakes

"Being careful brings progress."

Application

True wisdom lies in learning from others' mistakes.  When someone makes a mistake, I become richer from the experience.  I need not go through the same experience myself to learn from it.  When I am constantly aware of other people's actions, I experience progress at every step.

Day 64 Value of Humility

 Day 64 

วันที่ 5 มีนาคม เป็นวันที่ 64 ของปี

Value : Humility

"Truth is proved when it is combined with humility."

Contemplation

When we think we know the truth and are truthful, we can become convinced we are right.  We are not able to see what the other person has to say and continue to put forth our own perspective.  This can lead to futile arguments and conflict.

Application

With truth, I also need humility.  Humility helps me to put forth my ideas to another person in a detached way.  The truth within me will help me understand the other person and will keep me open to his or her point of view.  I will get my point across without much difficulty because the other person will also be able to see my point of view.

"To celebrate is to enjoy every moment."

Real celebration means enjoying the beauty and joy of each and every moment.  By celebrating every moment, I will be constantly enthusiastic.  I will stop looking for special occasions to be happy but instead will make the best use of every moment.

Application

Inner satisfaction lies in accepting challenges rather than trying to escape them.  I need to remain on the field in the game of life instead of just being a spectator.  The more I play, the more expertise I gain.  Keeping this thought in mind enables me to accept all the challenges life brings.
