Enjoying The
Sightseeing Of Your Life (Part 1)
In life, we
experience different types of situations, some good and some tough. There is a
constant movement in our lives and the situations and experiences that come our
way. Throughout this journey of life, it is important to remember that we have a
choice - a choice to manage difficult situations by being in an inner mental
position of fear or love. Facing a particular situation with love means that we
are choosing compassion as our response emotion. Also, we are aware of the fact
that it is a temporary situation and we will not let the situation define us and
influence our emotions negatively. In many different ways, we can compare a way
of facing difficult times in life to experiencing sightseeing as a tourist, who
is only collecting experiences of life for a while, and then will leave for
home. Let’s explore this comparison through this message:
1. While traveling, we often let our tour guide put together the itinerary for
us and decide on what to see or how much time to spend in one place. We do so,
because someone else can make the planning decisions, and as a result, make
things simpler for us and allow us to sit back and enjoy our journey. Similarly
in life, we should train ourselves in a way that whatever life offers us, we can
accept it and turn it into a beautiful possibility to succeed. We should
remember that no situation in life is unsolvable, and that it is constantly
evolving. Just like a traveller on a tourist destination, we can make our little
choices in our thoughts, words and actions. Every choice will have a result,
which we must learn to accept joyfully.

Message for the day
To be seated on the
seat of self-respect is to be truly great.
Expression:
The one who is constantly in the stage of self-respect is constantly stable. And
because of this stability he always has the right authority. This brings about
right decisions too and he moves forward with ease facing all situations.
Experience:
When I am aware of my own specialities and work with them I inspire others too
to recognise my positive qualities. I also never have ego but am able to remain
humble. This humility enables me to win the respect of others too.
