Thought for the day - 'Just for Today, I Will Act in Congruency!'

Just for Today, I Will Act in Congruency!

What does one mean by congruency? Remember geometry – where you learnt that if any two figures are the same in shape and size, they are said to be congruent. Two things are congruent when they are exactly the same. Applied to life, congruency simply means that your mind and body go in the same direction. What you have in your mind is exactly what you act on and what you act as. Sounds too simple?

What you need is to focus you mind on the task that you have in hand. Focus your entire attention on that task, and cut yourself out from the rest of the world. Let there no interruptions, no distractions. To achieve congruency, it is extremely important to do only one thing at a time. Congruency can give you the most amazing benefits, especially if you make it a way of life. In almost every aspect of life, acting this way is beneficial. Everywhere the mind and body are focused and that makes a powerful combination that brings powerful changes.

Let’s start making this a way of life!

Thought for the day - 'Just for Today, I Will Keep an Open Mind!'

Just for Today, I Will Keep an Open Mind!

The human organism has one remarkable quality – it tends to learn from the past. We always recall our experiences and use them to evaluate similar situations in the future. That is how we learn and grow. But there are times when this very quality becomes a problem! In childhood if you were chased by a ferocious dog, for example, this will be stored in your memory. This will make you believe that all dogs are dangerous. So the next time you approach a dog, you’ll feel fearful. Even if the dog is friendly, your past conditioning will not allow you to accept this fact. That’s how old beliefs get stronger.

When you look at someone really old, you’ll find that it is very difficult for people to change their beliefs, simply because they are so deep rooted. So just for today, you’ll be open to new ideas and look at them objectively. When you receive a suggestion, don’t just discount it right away. Look at it and try and see what the other person is trying to tell you. You may actually end up discovering a very precious treasure!

Keeping your mind open has a spiritual component to it too. It involves looking for coincidences. Basically, no event in your life is a mere coincidence, but it has a deeper meaning to it. So if you have an intuition, display the guts to follow it. Be open to the way events are moving, for they will lead you somewhere. Just for today, you will also not force your way of things – let things move the way they are. Learn to go with flow, rather than trying to go against it, and wanting your way to happen. Accept other ideas, opinions and decisions – it’s just for today!

Remember, a closed mind is like a closed parachute. It is of no use, and a big burden on your back!

Now the choice is yours!

Thought for the day

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
-- Calvin Coolidge
