A Mother's Gift
5 May 2012 | 7:17 pmRecently, I visited the dentist and he commented, "You have beautiful, healthy teeth. It's a good thing that you took care of them early in life." My thoughts raced back to my childhood, when my mother hounded me to brush my teeth well. She would just not let go if my teeth weren't brushed properly. She made it a mission to ensure that I brushed and flossed regularly. Like every kid, I hated my mom for being such a persistent nitpicker. I threw my tantrums and tried to sneak out of the punishing rigor of good brushing. Thanks to her, today I can proudly display my pearly whites....Read… -

Do Your Best All Day Long !!
1 May 2012 | 1:40 pmWhere we are with the truth, there is constant cheerfulness. When everything we do is based on truth, we will have no regrets. If there is any trace of falsehood we will begin to feel guilty. Inner cheer is automatically destroyed by a conscience that bites. In all that we do throughout the day let there be the aim in our mind that we do it the best. When we do everything to the best of our ability we will not regret later. We will then naturally be free from guilt and we will be constantly cheerful. ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu. -
Learn The Art of Detachment or Letting Go
30 Apr 2012 | 1:40 pmThere has probably never been a time where there has been so much fear and conflict across the world, not just across oceans and borders but across the breakfast table. In fact many now prefer conflict to peace, as they become addicted to the actions of anger and aggression, and the adrenaline rush which results. They don't really want conflict to end, in fact, they will say that some conflict is good to get things done and stimulate change. They are not aware that they are killing themselves. All conflict is simply a symptom of attachment to a position. And as we know, this generates fear,… -
Sit Quietly And Check Your Own Mind !

Just time to sit quietly, focus your thoughts, check your priorities, make sure there is nothing negative pushing you down in your own mind. Take some time and be ...with yourself. If you don't, you may miss meeting the most important person in your life. ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu. -
Patience Brings Harmony in Relationships !
5 Apr 2012 | 6:59 amPatience brings harmony in relationships. When there is a misunderstanding in a relationship we hardly put in any effort in order to understand the other person. We tend to become impatient and we don't listen to the other person to understand them. Because of which we start inventing things about them. This only further increases the misunderstanding. When we have a difference of opinion with someone, we need to give some time to understand and listen to the other person. Only then will we be able to understand the other person's point of view. This practice will enable us to finish any… -
Create Quality Thoughts !
3 Apr 2012 | 8:39 amCreating quality thoughts brings happiness and lightness. When there is quality thinking, thoughts are not many, but each thought is special. Quality thoughts are reflected in quality words and quality actions. They reduce tiredness and carelessness as thoughts are fewer in quantity. When we have good quality thoughts, we experience sweetness, happiness and self-respect. We are able to recognise our own greatness and move forward with lightness under all circumstances. ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Theodore Roosevelt
16 May 2012 | 11:44 amIt is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor… -

There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them. may be erroneously attributed -

Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace. Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely. Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship. It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures… -
