Positive Reflections For The Day - 23-5-25 and 24-5-25
Returning To Normal Conversation After A Conflict
When there is an emotional outburst like an argument or conflict, some of us resort to a silent treatment as a defense mechanism or control mechanism. The days or weeks of communication breakdown is both awkward and unhealthy, because we cling on to negative thoughts, fill the environment with heavy vibrations and deplete everyone. When the dust settles after an argument with family or friends, do your emotions continue to run high? Do wrong thoughts of resentment and retaliation remain clouded in your mind? Do you refuse to talk to each other for hours, days, or even months? We often stop talking after a conflict, believing that the absolute silence will help us make our point, gives us time to settle down and to realize. During this period of communication breakdown, the mind goes on creating heavy, toxic thoughts, opens up recent wounds, accumulates more pain and radiates rejection for each other. These vibrations are harmful for everyone’s mind and body. Let’s keep aside the issue, let’s keep aside our ego and let’s return to our normal thoughts, words and behaviour. We need to be the one to step up and speak to them as if nothing had happened. They are after all, our loved ones and well-wishers. Their wellbeing is our priority and our well-being is their priority. Resuming communication is the easiest way to save the relationship. It protects each other’s happiness, health, and most importantly, creates the right culture at home or at our workplace.
Remember you are a caring being. Care for the happiness and health of your family and friends. Sometimes they have different opinions which do not match with yours. You state your perspective and if they are attached to their views they disagree with you. Say whatever you need to say with stability. Respect them even if you disagree with their views. Immediately after that scene clear your mind and change the energy of the scene. Settle the differences in a healthy way and never allow a period of negative silence to set in. Return to your normal self, calm and relaxed. Voluntarily talk to them immediately and don’t wait for them to talk. Behave as if nothing unpleasant had happened between both of you. Your unconditional love and respect will heal them. Heal the relationship and restore harmony.

Have We Won God's Heart?
God is our closest and most loved one over many births. Depending on how clean we have been and how honest we are in doing everything that He loves and desires, we earn a place in God’s heart and depending on that He sees us with deep love and respect. Yet when we think, speak and act, we forget this and sometimes we tend to go in the wrong direction and perform negative actions. Wrong actions disconnect us from God and even bring sorrow in our lives, because we go against the Law of Karma and are not receiving God’s beautiful blessings at that time. Also, actions done without honesty and purity make us lose our self-respect and respect of others and most importantly the respect of God - the Highest One. Depending on how much happiness we give others, we receive the love of God and win His heart, because God loves those who constantly love others and never ever give sorrow to others by thinking and speaking negatively about them or by speaking and acting negatively with them.
Starting the day with imbibing God’s love in our heart makes us careful that we respect His teachings and do only what He advises us to do in the entire day. Any step which we take which is not liked by God should be carefully checked with complete alertness and if any mistakes happen, then we should immediately correct ourselves and begin on a fresh note. The more we do this with determination and ease, the more our lives become fault free and problem free, because many of the problems that we face in our lives are a result of mistakes that we make in our thoughts, words and actions. Another aspect which brings us closer to God and we earn an important place in His heart with, is remembering Him in every action and applying His spiritual wisdom in every thought, word and action. Also, along with that how much of God’s wisdom, qualities and powers we share with each and everyone we meet in the day and bring them also closer to God makes us earn an important place in His heart.
