Day 41 Value of Responsibility

Day 41

Value : Responsibility

"Responsibility is best fulfilled with lightness."

Contemplation

Sometimes we become overwhelmed by our responsibilities which leads us into negative thinking  Our responsibilities weigh heavily on us, and we find ourselves wishing to escape.  We need to learn how to carry responsibilities lightly in order to fulfill them.

Application

I need to think of my responsibilities not as burdens, but gifts.  Becoming responsible for something helps me focus on doing the best I can for the benefit of others.  In the process, I find I learn new skills, and my inner qualities develop as I learn .  As a result, I will find myself enjoying what I am doing.

My responsibilities no longer hold me back; they allow me to grow.

Day 40 Value of Faith

Day 40 

Value : Faith

"The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person's determination."

Contemplation

When we start doing a new task, of course we believe we can achieve it.  But sometimes as we move through that new project,  we lose faith and courage and tend to give up mid-task.

Difficulties and challenges cause our determination to waver and we become unable to achieve what we set out to do.

Application

What I require for achieving even the most impossible task is determination.  When I am determined to succeed, I will not let anything get in my way and will move forward until I reach my destination.  When I have faith in myself I will find that help comes my way and life is enriched by new experiences.

Day 39 Value of Appreciation

Day 39

Value : Appreciation

"To appreciate one's resources is to experience constant progress." 

Contemplation

It is much easier to notice what we don't have than appreciate what we do.  Whenever challenging situations come our way, we tend to focus on what we lack.  With this attitude, we are unable to make an effort to change the situation.  We then tend to blame others or make excuses.

Application

In challenging situations I need to make a special effort to appreciate and use what I have.  When I continue to make effort in this way, every challenge will allow me to discover and use my hidden resources, making me richer.  This will equip me to experience constant progress.
