Day 38 Value of Forgiveness

 Day 38

วันที่ 7 กุมภาพันธ์ เป็นวันที่ 38 ของปี

Value : Forgiveness

"To let go of the past is to stop it having a negative impact on the present."

Contemplation

We are often slaves of the past.  Even though something may have happened a long time ago, we often find ourselves unable to forgive and forget.  We relive the negative feelings associated with it and find it hard to break free.

Application

I need to free my mind of the past.  I need to reflect on what I have learnt from a past situation and learn to let go.  But I can only forget the past when I am able to forgive others and myself, I can only forgive when I learn from what happened.  When I learn from a situation, I free myself from the chains of the past.

Day 37 Value of Love

 

Day 37

วันที่ 6 กุมภาพันธ์ เป็นวันที่ 37 ของปี

Value : Love

"Where there is love, the hardest task becomes easy to perform."

Contemplation

If something is difficult, it means there is no love attached to it.  Where there is love, even a task as weighty as a mountain becomes as light as cotton wool.  Love makes work easier and lighter.

Application

Today is the day to love my work.  Whatever I am doing I must remember that I love my work.  I will experiment with one thing that I have been finding difficult, reminding myself that I love it, and that is the reason why I am doing it.

Day 36 Value of Humility

 Day 36

วันที่ 5 กุมภาพันธ์ เป็นวันที่ 36 ของปี

Value : Humility

"True humility comes from self-respect."

Contemplation

When we respect ourselves, we are able to remain humble in every situation.  When we lack self-respect, any comments or criticism hurt the ego and we tend to lose our humility.

Application

When I find myself getting affected by criticism, I need to check whether I am sure of what I'm doing. I need to look within and learn to appreciate my own special qualities, and think about how I can use them in my daily life.  As my confidence grows, I will become humble.

Day 35 Value of Non-Violence

 

Day 35

วันที่ 4 กุมภาพันธ์ เป็นวันที่ 35 ของปี

Value : Non-Violence

"True non-violence means never hurting others even through words."

Contemplation

Most of us make a great effort not to hurt people physically, but sometimes we hurt others through our words, often accidently.

Application

Today I will really think about the consequence of my words before I speak and consider how they might hurt others. I will also notice how when I do express negativity it makes those around me feel negative, which in turn affects me for the worst too.

Day 34 Value of Selflessness

 Day 34

วันที่ 3 กุมภาพันธ์ เป็นวันที่ 34 ของปี

Value : Selflessness

"Selflessness brings happiness."

Contemplation

Selflessness 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 abilities, 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

วันที่ 2 กุมภาพันธ์ เป็นวันที่ 33 ของปี

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

Day 32 Value of Love

 

Day 32

วันที่ 1 กุมภาพันธ์ เป็นวันที่ 32 ของปี

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 persons I need to think about all the love I have for him or her.  I also need to make sure 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.
