Compare Yourself with the Old You

Image
There are times when we start comparing ourselves with others. Comparing ourselves with others brings us disappointments and break downs. We feel we aren't good enough for ourselves. We feel ugly, humiliated and what not. Why do we have to always compare ourselves with others? Why don't we Compare Ourselves with the Old Us?  Have you ever thought about comparing yourself with the old you? It's okay, at times we do face disappointments and break down. At times, we don't get what we want. Things might not always go the way we want. But it's okay and you need to know that.  We need to learn to compare ourselves with the old us. You need to see your own progress with the old you. You need to be a New You from the Old You. Don't think about what others are doing because they are growing for themselves. You need to grow for yourself and learn to check your own steps from the old you. It's fine even if it is the smallest change, but there is a chan...

Developing Positive Thinking

All our feelings, beliefs and knowledge are based on our internal thoughts, both conscious and subconscious. We are in control, whether we know it or not. We can be positive or negative, enthusiastic or dull, active or passive. The biggest difference between people is their attitudes. Our present attitudes are habits, built from the feedback of parents, friends, society and self, that from our self-image and our world-image. These attitudes are maintained by the inner conversations we constantly have with ourselves, both consciously and subconsciously. Attitude and thoughts do not change overnight. Even if the idea seems strange give it a try, as you have nothing to lose, but only to gain. Ignore what others might say or think about you, if they discover that you are changing the way you think. The first step in developing positive thinking is to change our inner conversations. - What should we be saying? One approach is called the three C's: Commitment, Control and Challe...

Impact Of Negative Thoughts

Drive away from your mind all unnecessary, useless and negative thoughts. Useless thoughts impede your spiritual growth; obnoxious thoughts are stumbling blocks to your spiritual advancement. You are away from God when you are entertaining useless thoughts. Entertain only thoughts that are helpful and useful. Do not allow the mind to run into the old grooves and to have its own ways and habits. Be on the careful watch. Thoughts of sin haunts the mind of some people. One person always thinks, "I have committed a very heinous sin. I do not know what to do." Again and again, this one idea haunts his mind. This is a bad habit. These people do not know how to divert their minds. They become pray to these 'haunting thoughts'. Virtue and sin are relative terms. They are creations of the mind. Sin is nothing but a mistake. Remembering God's name, charity and fasting will destroy at one any amount of sin. You must eradicate through introspection all sorts of mean thou...

Time and Chance

As the subject is somewhat complex, I will have to explain it to you. The first point is that there is not very much difference in the intelligence of people after all. The great man is not so great as folks think, and the dull man is not quite so stupid as he seems. The difference in our estimates of men lies in the fact that one individual is able to get his goods into the show-window, and the other is not aware that he has any show-window or any goods. "The soul knows all things, and knowledge is only a remembering," says  Emerson. This seems a very broad statement; and yet the fact remains that the vast majority of men know a thousand times as much as they are aware of. Far down in the silent depths of subconsciousness lie myriads of truths, each awaiting a time when its owner shall call it forth. To utilise these stored-up thoughts, you must express them to others; and to be able to express them well your soul has to soar into this subconscious realm where ...

Lesson or blessing

We all have met many people in our life . Everyone were nonidentical. Everyone taught us different lessons in our life . Some people stayed and some people walked away . But their lessons dwelled with us . People who stayed with us , gave us their blessings and support. We know everyone comes in our life for a reason . Whether to teach us or support us . Whether to make us strong or weak . It depends on how we take it . Whether as a lesson or a blessing .
