Day 119 Value of Sweetness

 Day 119

วันที่ 29 เมษายน เป็นวันที่ 119 ของปี

Value : Sweetness

"To speak from the heart means to spread sweetness around."

Contemplation

When speaking to others we usually speak from our head, or intellect.  Words spoken from the head rarely touch the hearts of others.  This means they don't create any impact and are soon forgotten.

Application

The solution lies in touching the hearts of others when I speak.  To do that, I need to speak with my heart as well as my head and fill my words with love.  When I communicate with others in this way my words spread sweetness around.

Day 118 Value of Communication

 Day 118

วันที่ 28 เมษายน เป็นวันที่ 118 ของปี

Value : Communication

"Words are effective when they are spoken with good wishes."

Contemplation

Although we speak with a great deal of logic so that other people understand our meaning, sometimes our words are misunderstood and misinterpreted.  Many conflicts arise because of this, spoiling our relationships.

Application

What I say is important - but much more important is how I say it and with what feeling.  I need to keep myself free from any kind of attitude when I communicate with people.  This happens naturally when I have good wishes for others - them my words become truly effective.

Day 117 Value of Self-Respect

 Day 117

วันที่ 27 เมษายน เป็นวันที่ 117 ของปี

Value : Self-Respect

"Every reaction is a reflection of one's own self-respect."

Contemplation

If we have low self-respect, even the smallest situation brings forth a strong negative reaction.  We continue to blame circumstances and use them as excuses not to take responsibility for ourselves.  We feel helpless and unable to do anything about situations.  This reaction to difficult situations only makes matters worse.

Application

When my self-respect is high, I am able to remain positive even in the most negative situations.  This allows me to control the situation, rather than letting it control me.

Day 116 Value of Self-Growth

 Day 116

วันที่ 26 เมษายน เป็นวันที่ 116 ของปี

Value : Self-Growth

"To develop our gifts is to enrich our lives."

Contemplation

When we interact with others, often we are overly concerned with their negative aspects.  Their gifts become hidden.  The more we emphasize negativity, the more difficult it is to see past it.  We fill ourselves and others with negativity, often without even realizing it.

Application

Becoming aware of our own gifts and those of others fills life with beauty.  When I am aware of others' unique gifts, I can encourage them to develop them.  Using my own gifts enriches others as well as myself.  At times of need, I am able to draw on these qualities.

Day 115 Value of Discernment

 

Day 115

วันที่ 25 เมษายน เป็นวันที่ 115 ของปี

Value : Discernment

"The one who discerns well can bring about real benefit."

Contemplation

Everyone naturally works for their own benefit and that of others.  But sometimes others do not seem to appreciate our contribution.  This is usually because we haven't been able to recognize what they need.  We tend to give what we feel is important, but this may mean ignoring someone else's needs.

Application

Someone who discerns well is able to understand other people's needs and give accordingly.  Whatever that person does helps others.  When I am able to help the right person at the right time, I am able to win their trust.  I should expect nothing in return, but the satisfaction of helping at the right time.

Day 114 Value of Happiness

 

Day 114

วันที่ 24 เมษายน เป็นวันที่ 114 ของปี

Value : Happiness

"Looking at things in a different light brings happiness."

Contemplation

When everything is the same, we become bored and unhappy.  If we continue to think and act in the same way, we become stuck in a rut.  We are unable to become excited about new situations and opportunities.  This drains our positive engergy, leaving us lifeless and unenthusiastic.

Application

I find happiness when I try new ways of dealing with life's situations.  The potential and the energy of my mind are channeled in a positive way then and I feel fulfillment and satisfaction.  Life itself becomes more beautiful.

Day 113 Value of Introspection

 Day 113

วันที่ 23 เมษายน เป็นวันที่ 113 ของปี

Value : Introspection

"The difficulty of the situation lies in one's own state of mind."

Contemplation

When we experience a difficult situation, we often become overwhelmed by it.  We become stuck, unable to think about anything else.  When this happens, the smallest problem can easily turn into a bigger obstacle that becomes even more difficult to overcome.

Application

The size of any problem depends on my state of mind.  In reality, it doesn't matter how small or large the problem is what matters is how I perceive it.  When my mind is calm and balanced, my confidence grows.  If I believe I can overcome the problem, I will do so.
