Create Silence
Learn to create silence in your mind and peace will flourish in your soul. You will see life with other eyes. You will discover God's language. To be internally silent do not think too much. Trust yourself. Trust others. Trust life. You will find it is easier than it seems. Instead of contemplating on others, spend time in self-contemplation and you'll find yourself progressing.
In all that you do throughout the day check how much time you are spending in thinking about others and what they are doing. Also check how much time you are being introspective and spending time with yourself. When you find yourself blaming or criticizing others' way of working, turn your thoughts towards yourself and change your thinking at that moment. The more you think about yourself, you will find yourself progressing.
Experiencing Soul Consciousness
Read over the following words slowly and silently. Using the power of visualization, aim to experience them in your mind:
I withdraw my attention away from the physical limbs and sense organs.
I focus on myself.
I am listening through these ears.
I am looking through these eyes.
This instrument of mine, the physical body, is a precious vehicle, a valuable instrument, a medium.
But, that which is more valuable and more precious is the being (soul) making this instrument function.
Within this assembly of bones and muscles and amazing organs is a being of light.
In the center of the forehead is a point of light.
I am this being of light.
I the being of light express myself through this body.
But the body is not I.
I am light.
I spread rays of peace in all directions.
I become aware of the power within this point of light.
Within I the being of light is everything that I am and everything that I have.
Within my own being are my qualities, my powers, my talents.
In the awareness of who I am I radiate this light within.
and in the awareness of this inner light.
I become established in true self-respect..

Surfacing Positive Thoughts
Meditation helps you to work on yourself instead of worrying about external situations, so that you can have a genuine positive influence over circumstances. This shift in attitude is of the solution and not part of the problem. The positive attracts the positive, whereas the negative attracts the negative. If there is hate, resentment, jealousy or revenge in your thoughts and feelings, you will attract people in similar situations. This is how you think, this is your life.
If you want to be successful when you start or create something new, sow thoughts full of determination, confidence, perseverance, enthusiasm, positivity and stability; whether you start a new day, a new job, activity or project, or a new stage in your career or your life. Creating these kinds of thoughts on beginning any activity will help you achieve success in your life easily in everything you do.
If you want to change your behavior, concentrate on the thoughts that produce it. Thoughts are like seeds: our attitudes and our actions sprout from them.
Message for the day
The power of positive thoughts enables others to be free from their worries.
Projection: When someone is going through difficult times there would be naturally worry and tension. At such times it becomes very natural for us too to come into tension. However, we don't seem to be able to help the other person in any way when we have such thoughts. Instead we only add to the negative thoughts of that person.
Solution: When we find someone who is having negative thoughts in a difficult situation, we need to remind ourselves that we are the only ones who can help them come back to his positivity. It is possible for us to do this only when our own thoughts are positive. When we train our mind in this way we will be able to maintain our own positivity which will enable the other person also to be rid of his worries.
