Nothing Beats An Attitude Of Gratitude
Sep 2nd
We can all recall saying such as, “Attitude is everything.” How true this is and I hope you live by this saying because it can make all of the difference in the world and more specifically your life.
Having a positive attitude is about making a choice to see the sunshine when it is raining, to see clear skies on a cloudy day and to see the moon on a pitch dark night. It is all about having a positive attitude, no matter what.
I am the kind of person who has a positive attitude most of the time. I recall when I was in the United States Air Force and another military officer came up to me and said, “I cannot stand you because you are always happy.” What a great compliment he paid me and I responded by saying, ‘You are very welcome.”
What is amazing is that other people can see gratitude and the reason why is because of the energy it emits. One can go a step further and the realization is that gratitude gives off energy and all of the people around you get caught up in your energy force.
Unfortunately everyone does not have an attitude of gratitude, however it is important to understand it is a choice. One can enhance their level of gratitude by a couple of ways, I will explain.
The first thing I recommend is to deal in reality and for me it is all about commitment to living a life filled with gratitude. Secondly, it does not take any more energy to be happy than it is to be sad, chose wisely is what I recommend people do.
Get personal with what you want in life, either be positive or do not leave your house in the morning. The most important question I have for people with a negative attitude is, “Why bother with dwelling on things that are trivial in nature?” I ask the question because negative people tend to dwell on things of insignificance.
Nothing beats a made up mind, thus we should make up our minds to focus our energy on positive things and the results will be incomparable. It takes some getting use to but we can do this. Control your destiny by accentuating the positive and you will live to thank yourself for making the decision to go positive.
Do not hesitate, press forward towards the mark. The mark is a better quality of life, here is to you and sweet success.
Sound Can Either Burn Us With Miseries Or Burn Our Sufferings
Aug 28th
Throughout the ages people have been so affected in masses by the power of sound. Depending upon the kind of sound, either we become hateful of others, or we awaken love towards others.
In the earlier part of the 20th century, Hitler, through sound-through his lectures, and through the literature that he created-caused millions and millions of people to hate, and made them so passionately believe in something that they were willing to kill innocent people. In the process, they themselves were burned miserably from within, by that hate.
On the other hand, when we associate with those people who love God, that same love is awakened within us, and it becomes like a blazing fire that burns to ashes all of our sufferings. To understand this, we will use the analogy of oil. What is oil? It is nothing but the potency of the Sun. The process of formation of oil begins with the trees absorbing the sunshine. And when the trees fall to the ground, they slowly go underground. Over a period of millions of years the trees become coal. Further, when hundreds, thousands, and millions of years pass, that coal becomes oil. Now, that oil is a liquid. But the potency of the sun, fire, is dormant within it. How to bring it out? When we connect it with fire, the fire in the oil is brought forth. Similarly, the potency to love to an unlimited degree is dormant within us. It is the nature of consciousness to love God and every living being. When we connect with those people who love God, that dormant love is brought forth. How do holy people awaken the love within our heart? They do that through the power of sound. Because their lives are in harmony with what they speak, their pure words of truth have a powerful effect of awakening the essence within us-love.
