Positive Reflections For The Day - 16-4-25 and 17-4-25
Learning To Be At Peace With Time (Part 3)
Time Does Not Control You, Time Co-operates With You
Often, we feel that either time is chasing us or we are running behind time to catch up with it. We wish to bring time to a standstill or at least slow it down so that we can organize ourselves. There are also moments when each of us will want to temporarily step away from the demands of our roles and responsibilities, to enjoy a few moments of peace. Spending a few minutes to nurture the self is a necessity but many people find it a luxury that they cannot afford or take some time out for. Spirituality makes it possible to shift us from complaining about lack of time to becoming creators of time.
If we begin our day reading or listening to pure and positive information such as spiritual knowledge or gyan for at least 15 minutes, the foundation layer of the mind will have an unshakable setting of peaceful and powerful thoughts. This strengthens our mind and intellect, so our improved efficiency saves us time and keeps us enthusiastic throughout the day. Rajyoga Meditation as taught by the Brahma Kumaris connects us with God to recharge our emotional batteries through the Supreme Spiritual Power House. This means the emotional treasure of different aspects of wisdom and different qualities and powers that we are seeking outside will now be activated and rejuvenated from within us. When every thought, word and action is a product of our spiritual charging and carries the power of wisdom and its understanding in the consciousness as well as the inculcation of qualities and powers, we will experience peace and contentment even while working and meeting targets and deadlines. We will never find ourselves short of time. When we are in charge of our mind, then time will not control us, time will co-operate with us. Such a soul enjoys life at every moment and is at peace with time and the uncertainties that time brings with it in our present day lives. Also, the health, relationships and personal and professional roles of such a soul are benefitted immensely by such an approach of performing actions in a soul conscious and God conscious stage and not in a time conscious stage, leading to overall log-term success.

Overcome Indecisiveness In Thoughts, Words And Actions
Quick and firm decision-making does not come easy for some people. They get so confused between different options that even after deciding, they go back and forth.
1. Are you someone who finds it difficult to arrive at a final decision? Are you unsure what to wear, where to go, when to choose, what to eat, what to buy, how to respond – and keep changing decisions? Even after going back and forth have you felt - I wish I had decided to do this…not that?
2. The conscious mind is full of information of the world, different perspectives of other people and different public opinions. So, it is fine to seek guidance, use your past experience, evaluate different options and weigh consequences or results. Take time to be clear. But once you decide, trust yourself and stick to the decision. Don’t change it again or even think about changing it.
3. Thinking more is not always better when it comes to decision-making. Increase your power to choose and decide with the help of a clear mind and intellect. Silence your mind and intellect in meditation and take right, quick and firm decisions. The decision will be based on your capacity and values and it will always be right for you.
4. Take ownership of your decisions, give your best and take responsibility of their outcomes or results. When you learn to listen more to your inner voice and God’s instructions in any situation, decision making will be easy and natural for you, using the guidance of your close ones or without using it.
