POSITIVE AND ELEVATED THOUGHTS ( 11 NOVEMBER 2014 ) LIFE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS Life is not something that can be rushed. Things take time, lots of patience and hard work. It is a continual process of learning. Build upon each lesson to constantly refine who you are, what you do and how you do it. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS What a great blessing it is to have God as a friend, with a heart so trusting you may safely bury all your secrets in it, who can relieve your cares by His conversations, your doubts by His counsels, your sadness by His good humor and whose very looks give you comfort. BEING A GOOD TRANSFORMATION AGENT ( PART II ) If you go inside yourself and observe, with sincerity, your feelings towards someone that you consider unbearable or intolerable, you will see that your perception (way of looking at them), your expectations and your bad feelings make you feel that the other is unbearable or intolerable. You have allowed the other to influence you in the creation of your bad feelings. You have lost compassion (kindness) and the capacity to accept and understand the other. Being a good transformation (change) agent requires having full control over your inner world. If you are the victim of your rapidly moving mind, your bad feelings, your aggressive emotional states and of your not-very-healthy habits, you will easily feel yourself to be the victim of others, of circumstances, of time and of society. In relationships, the key is in living with your consciousness awake and not to do anything that your conscience does not agree with. In doing so, you dont have to fear the opinion of others. You dont have to feel insecure or doubt yourself. If not, we will continue to act against our own consciousness and we will feel ourselves to be victims. To avoid pain or the unhappiness that arises automatically when we act against our own consciousness, we look for guilt excuses: Because of... I havent acted as I should. We blame or we make excuses. That way we suppress the voice of our consciousness until the suffering and unhappiness is such that our conscience scolds us, which increases our unhappiness even more. A good transformation agent will always obey the voice of the inner conscience. By remaining in tune with our conscience and creating right thoughts, words and actions, it becomes easier for us to move from victim consciousness to transformer consciousness (one who brings about change).
