Positive Reflections For The Day - 26-5-25 and 27-5-25
Stable In Appreciation
When people appreciate us for who we are or what we do, what they say about us is not truly about us. They actually reflect their quality to be able to see niceness in us. It is their opinion about us, their perspective, and is subject to change. Let us thank them for their gesture but not get carried away or get addicted to appreciation. Your social media post got very few Likes. Your boss did not recognize the efforts you put on a project over the weekend. Your family has rarely acknowledged your care and love for them. Do these factors demotivate you? Do you sense a subtle but sure need for appreciation? Receiving a compliment is one thing, seeking it is completely another. Appreciation is subjective. One person might praise us while another can bring us down. Getting addicted to praise can affect our life’s decisions - we will constantly do things to impress people. When someone appreciates us, it reflects that person’s beautiful personality to see the goodness in us. So appreciation is more about them, not us. This understanding helps us remain stable and humble. It keeps our ego in check. Do not consume appreciation. Instead, say Thank you to God and surrender the compliment to Him. Also humbly thank the person who was kind to praise you.
Always remind yourself that you are a humble being and be an embodiment of that. Radiate love and care to everyone. Play your roles and responsibilities sincerely. When people are happy with your qualities and your talents, they appreciate you. But you don’t get affected or excited as you do what you do selflessly and not for recognition, you remain your authentic self. Each time you are appreciated, immediately remind your mind that you are God's instrument. You were chosen to do it, those people were destined to get it and you were as fortune to be a part of that scene. You thank God, surrender the praise to God, thank people for the opportunity and you also confess to people that their appreciation is a reflection of their own goodness, it shows their nature to notice goodness in others. Remain stable in appreciation, do not expect it, do not accept it for yourself, it does not affect you. Make humility your natural way of living.

3 Steps For Creating A Positive Present And Future (Part 1)
We live a life full of uncertainities and sometimes negative scenes come in our life which can reduce our enthusiasm and make us weaker mentally and emotionally. We all desire to live life without obstacles and full of positive scenes in the present and the future and even think about creating such a life but we are not always successful. Let us see in this message how to achieve this to the maximum extent possible by 3 spiritual steps –
Keep A Positive Consciousness Always
Spirituality teaches us how to create positive thoughts everyday in the middle of our busy schedules and tight deadlines. As a spiritual learner, we learn how to take little steps in our mind in the form of positive thoughts. Every positive thought or step helps us experience a positive consciousness. Also, every positive thought creates a powerful vibration which radiates outwards to the Universe and the Universe reflects back to us positive scenes in the different spheres of our life like our health, relationships, professional work, family activities and financial progress. Any negative thought reduces the success of this process.
So, we should take care that we tune our mind to divine positivity every morning by connecting with the Supreme Being or God and His love filled sustenance, wisdom and blessings. A good habit is to wake up about 30 minutes earlier than normal everyday and give this spiritual feeling to the morning and carry its essence in our mind in the day. Also, after you finish your day’s actions in the evening, you can reconnect again for a few minutes by reviving this morning experience deeply in an inner vibration of stillness, when there is no important home or office activity to disturb you. The next morning you continue the same spiritual experience with greater determination and enthusiasm. This is the morning-night-morning cycle of spirituality which can fill your mind and your aura with positivity and reduce your negative and unnecessary thoughts and as a result create a positive present and future, because of the positivity you radiate.
