Daily Positive Thoughts: April 21, 2014: Respect

 

Respect
Respect is received when it is given.

 

Creativity

There are times when our crowded lives and minds don't allow space for creativity to emerge. 
For creativity to flow naturally, regularly make quiet time for yourself, to clear and refresh your mind. 
Do nothing other than sit back, relax and let your mind: float freely on a hot-air balloon, swim through a deep blue ocean or soar into the sunset.

Universal Concepts About The Supreme Being or God

There are some universally accepted characteristics of God: 

* He is the creator and the one who sustains and takes care of the entire world population. 
* He is the Highest of Highest. 
* He is the Supreme Father. 
* He is non-physical. 
* He is omnipotent (one with unlimited power). 
* He is a living being. 
* He is all-loving and possesses complete knowledge.
* He is unchangeable. 
* He is one and He is light. 
* He is perfect in values and morals. 
* He is absolutely just. 
* He is the Supreme Benefactor (the one who brings benefit to everyone). 
* He is the savior of souls. 
* He is the purifier. 
* He is mysterious in His ways. 

Even in those religions that believe in and worship many Gods, there is one God who stands above the others. Then there are other faiths who believe God to be one single Supreme Being. Traditions, sacred texts, monuments, sayings and rituals all over the world, point to the existence of and belief in one knowledgeful, all-powerful and merciful being or soul. That being is universally called out to and recognized as the remover of sorrow, the giver of happiness and the savior of the 'sinful'.

Soul Sustenance

Connecting To The Qualities Of Others 

Meditation adds immense value and depth to my relationships. It also brings closeness in them. Many obstacles and barriers, both on a physical as well as a subtle level, come between me and others when my consciousness and as a result, my perception are struck primarily in the physical dimension. If I hardly know five to ten per cent of myself, and that too mostly on the surface, my relationships are going to be similarly superficial. With my self-respect built on very weak foundations, it will tend to be delicate and I'll be prone to trying to maintain it by thinking about and focusing my energies on others' weaknesses, sometimes real and sometimes even imagined. I'll also find it hard to realize and appreciate their qualities. Such is the state of so many human relationships today. 

In meditation, I go into the depths of myself, and deep within my inner being, I find the beauty of peace, love and happiness that is there inside me.I also realize that this same beauty lies inside each soul. Then naturally and very easily, without any effort, I get connected to the same qualities in others. I also find the strength to do the same. I am no longer judgmental seeing others' temporary sanskaras of negativity. I find qualities that are basically there inside every soul: the original qualities or sanskarasof each spiritual being. It's like a basic prototype for the whole of humanity, which I deeply see and realize. 

Message for the day 

Determination enables elevated thoughts to become practical. 

Projection: When we have an aim in our life and are working for it, we sometimes are not able to bring into practice all that we plan to do. We then tend to become disheartened and give up after trying for some time. Thus we lose out on the benefit that our thoughts can bring in our life. 

Solution: In order to put into practice the good thoughts that we get i.e., in order to make our thoughts practical we need to stamp it with determination. Our words should never be 'I'll try', but must always be 'I will do it'. Where there is determination there is victory.

The Good Old 1950's        Long ago and far away, in a land that time forgot, Before the days of Dylan, or the dawn of Camelot. There lived a race of innocents, and they were you and me,   For Ike was in the White House in that land where we were born, Where navels were for oranges, and Peyton Place was porn.   We learned to gut a muffler, we washed our hair at dawn, We spread our crinolines to dry in circles on the lawn.   We longed for love and romance, and waited for our Prince, And Eddie Fisher married Liz, and no one's seen him since.   We danced to 'Little Darlin,' and sang to 'Stagger Lee' And cried for Buddy Holly in the Land That Made Me, Me.        Only girls wore earrings then, and 3 was one too many, And only boys wore flat-top cuts, except for Jean McKinney.   And only in our wildest dreams did we expect to see A boy named George with Lipstick, in the Land That Made Me, Me.   We fell for Frankie Avalon, Annette was oh, so nice, And when they made a movie, they never made it twice.   We didn't have a Star Trek Five, or Psycho Two and Three, Or Rocky-Rambo Twenty in the Land That Made Me, Me.   Miss Kitty had a heart of gold, and Chester had a limp, And Reagan was a Democrat whose co-star was a chimp.   We had a Mr. Wizard, but not a Mr. T, And Oprah couldn't talk yet, in the Land That Made Me, Me. We had our share of heroes, we never thought they'd go, At least not Bobby Darin, or Marilyn Monroe.   For youth was still eternal, and life was yet to be, And Elvis was forever in the Land That Made Me, Me.   We'd never seen the rock band that was Grateful to be Dead, And Airplanes weren't named Jefferson , and Zeppelins were not Led.   And Beatles lived in gardens then, and Monkees lived in trees, Madonna was Mary in the Land That Made Me, Me.   We'd never heard of microwaves, or telephones in cars, And babies might be bottle-fed, but they were not grown in jars.   And pumping iron got wrinkles out, and 'gay' meant fancy-free, And dorms were never co-Ed in the Land That Made Me, Me.   We hadn't seen enough of jets to talk about the lag, And microchips were what was left at the bottom of the bag.   And hardware was a box of nails, and bytes came from a flea, And rocket ships were fiction in the Land That Made Me, Me.   Buicks came with portholes, and side shows came with freaks, And bathing suits came big enough to cover both your cheeks.   And Coke came just in b ottles, and skirts below the knee, And Castro came to power near the Land That Made Me, Me.   We had no Crest with Fluoride, we had no Hill Street Blues, We had no patterned pantyhose or Lipton herbal tea Or prime-time ads for those dysfunctions in the Land That Made Me, Me.   There were no golden arches, no Perrier to chill, And fish were not called Wanda , and cats were not called Bill.   And middle-aged was 35 and old was forty-three, And ancient were our parents in the Land That Made Me, Me.   But all things have a season, or so we've heard them say, And now instead of Maybelline we swear by Retin-A. They send us invitations to join AARP, We've come a long way, bab y, from the Land That Made Me, Me.   So now we face a brave new world in slightly larger jeans, And wonder why they're using smaller print in magazines. And we tell our children's children of the way it used to be, Long ago and far away in the Land That Made Me, Me.
