Day 34 Value of Selflessness

Day 34

Value : Selflessness

"Selflessness brings happiness."

Contemplation

Selfishness is always accompanied by a desire, and because of this desire there can never be satisfaction.  We always want something more.  Someone who cannot overcome his or her own desires will never become a giver.  If we lack the ability to share resources for others' benefit, we can never be happy.

Application

When I am selfless I have respect for my own ablities, and I am able to use them for the benefit of others. Because I have the satisfaction of using my talents,  I am not looking for others to appreciate me.  I become a giver instead of a taker, which brings me happiness and good wishes from others.

Day 33 Value of Humility

Day 33

Value : Humility

"Humility equips people to realize their mistakes and correct themselves."

contemplation

Real humility reflects a truth that doesn't need to be expressed in words.  The power of our inner state of being will make the other person realize the error of their ways.

Application

When I direct or question someone, I need to be aware of my attitude and remind myself of the humility within - only then should I say what I have to say.  When inspired by humility, my words willl be for the other person's benefit and will enable him or her to learn.

Day 32 Value of Love

Day 32

Value : Love

"The one way to change others is to deal with them with love."

Contemplation

When we love others, you have good wishes for them.  We want to help them change for their own good rather than for our benefit.  Others quickly respond to this unselfish love and we see them changing.

Application 

Today I'll think of one person I want to help change.  Before I think of changing that person I need to think about all the love I have for him or her.  I also need to make sue that the change I want in the other person is intended for his or her own good and not motivated by my own selfish reasons.

Day 31 Value of Self-Respect

Day 31

Value : Self-Respect

"To transform the ordinary into something special is to be truly fortunate."

Contemplation

Fortune is usually perceived as having a chance to be in a special place or to do special things.  Life reveals that we cannot always be in such a position nor do we always get the chance to do special things.  At such times we may consider ourseleves less fortunate

Application

When I respect myself and acknowledge the strengths and talents that make me unique, I connect with my inner self.  I realize I have the power within me to make everything I do - even the most ordinary act - special.  Then I become truly fortunate.
