Day 73 Value of Calmness

Day 73

Value : Calmness

"To maintain an inner state of calm is to arrive at the right solutions."

Contemplation

When we confront a problem or a difficult situation, we tend to face it with worry or negative thoughts.  Although outwardly we might seem to face the situation, we are not able to deal with it.  And most of the time we find that we are failing.

Applicaton

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.

If you spend an hour in worthwhile actions there is 1,000 fold gain.

If you waste an hour in useless actions

 there is 1,000 fold loss.

Day 72 Value of Change

Day 72

Value : Change

"Change is necessary for growth."

Contemplation

We usually recognize when we need to bring about change in ourselves - we tend to feel a strong desire to change.  But it is much more difficult to turn this understanding and desire into practical action.

Application

As soon as I understand that I need to change, I have to work at bringing that change about.  I need to tell myself that there is no better time than now.

Day 71 Value of Honesty

Day 71

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 it 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.
