Day 334 Value of Love

 

Day 334

วันที่ 30 พฤศจิกายน เป็นวันที่ 334 ของปี

Value : Love

"Self-love brings joy to one's life."

Contemplation

People look for love through relationships.  Yet this love is colored with expectation.  When these expectations are not fulfilled there is a tendency to get upset.  Before we can love others, we need to learn to love ourselves.

Application

When I love myself, I am able to appreciate all the unique qualities and virtues that are part of me.  I feel happy and secure within myself, and I am able to project that love out toward other people.  The more love I express, the more love I receive in return, filling my life with joy.

Day 333 Value of Self-Control

 

Day 333

วันที่ 29 พฤศจิกายน เป็นวันที่ 333 ของปี

Value : Self-Control

"To be free from desires is to be full of all attainments."

Contemplation

Although we are generally free from big desires we are often full of little desires.  Even though they are only small, they have a noticeable effect on our well-being: because of these little desires we are not able to experience and enjoy all life's attainments.

Application

I need to tell myself that chasing desires is like chasing my own shadow: the more I try to follow it, the more it runs away from me.  All I have to do is to turn back and move toward the sun (my destination).  Then my shadow will follow me and I will feel contented and fulfilled.

Day 332 Value of Giving

 

Day 332

วันที่ 28 พฤศจิกายน เป็นวันที่ 332 ของปี

Value : Giving

"To be giver is to be powerful."

Contemplation

It is easy to give to those who are positive toward us.  It is more difficult to recognize that those who behave negatively toward us are often more in need of our help.

Application

The only way I can remain positive when someone is behaving negatively toward me is to remind myself of my inner power.  When I connect to what I have, I am able to be a giver without expecting anything in return.  The cool waters of my positivity help put out the fire of anger.

Day 331 Value of Balance

 

Day 331

วันที่ 27 พฤศจิกายน เป็นวันที่ 331 ของปี

Value : Balance

"With the balance of love and discipline, energy can be saved while speaking."

Contemplation

Throughout the day, we find ourselves having to explain many things to many people.  In doing so, we expend a lot of words.  In the process, we tend to lose a great deal of energy and become tired.  It is not the work but the words that make us feel tired.

Application

In order to save my energy and use fewer words I need to make sure I maintain the balance of love and discipline when explaining things to others.  Discipline will equip me to give the right directions while love will make my directions effective.  I will soon find that a few words are enough to get my message across.

Day 330 Value of Calmness

 

Day 330

วันที่ 26 พฤศจิกายน เป็นวันที่ 330 ของปี

Value : Calmness

"To be calm is to work to build relationships."

Contemplation

It is easy to speak negatively when we do not like something about someone and to react to a situation and become angry.  The other person naturally responds negatively to our negative thoughts, and then it becomes almost impossible to build a positive relationship.

Application

When something goes wrong in any relationship, the first thing I need to do is to keep calm.  When I do this, I will not be caught up with the negativity of the situation or the negative trait of the person at that time.  Instead I will be able to see the beauty in that person.  I will be able to appreciate and connect to the uniqueness of that person and so create a positive atmosphere that helps to rebuild the relationship.

Day 329 Value of Self-Control

 

Day 329

วันที่ 25 พฤศจิกายน เป็นวันที่ 329 ของปี

Value : Self-Control

"To be free from careless words is to be light."

Contemplation

While we tend to avoid saying things that are negative or harmful toward others, we often speak carelessly.  Sometimes we say things that are of no use to others, or may even hurt their feelings.  Careless words weigh us down and stop us from feeling light and free.

Application

I need to pay attention so that I so not speak carelessly.  If I keep in mind the phrase "Speak less, speak softly and speak sweetly", this little thought will help me make my words more meaningful and I will never hurt others' feelings.

Day 328 Value of Giving

 

Day 328

วันที่ 24 พฤศจิกายน เป็นวันที่ 328 ของปี

Value : Giving

"The way to get what we need is to give."

Contemplation

We usually want to get the best out of everything.  We have expectations about what we feel we should receive.  But sometimes we find it difficult to get what we need.  We may try harder, but still find ourselves unable to get the best out of people or situations.  This only leads to frustration.

Application

If I am not getting what I want or need, I may need to adopt a different approach.  Instead of focusing on my own desires, I need to understand that perhaps I'm not getting what I want for a reason - perhaps I'm not ready for it yet.  If I concentrate instead on what I have to give others, I will find that what I need comes to me naturally.
