Realization of our own role

To recognise the uniqueness of one's own role is
to be free from negativity

Situation

When things start going wrong in our life, a thought sometimes comes into our minds:"…if I only had a better role…". We then begin to compare ourselves with others or wish for something better in our life, which makes us lose all our enthusiasm. We then make no effort to better our role.

Solution

We need to recognise the importance of our own role. Like an actor who doesn't try to change his role but instead decides to bring perfection to his role, we, too, need to concentrate on our own unique role. The recognition of the importance of our own role and the desire to bring excellence to it, makes us free from the vicious vicious circle of negativity.

1. What is my role in the scenery of life? What is my speciality and which aspects of my expression through this role need to be revised?

Love from the heart

Love from the heart gives to the soul the power of determination. Love from the heart brings contentment even when there is not an external achievement. Not to depend on external achievements will give the soul stability and great liberation.

Who is forming me ?

Forming externally...
Let us observe how many things we do depend on how others see us: our wife or husband, our children, parents, boss, colleagues etc. Imagine all these people in the same room as us... how would will we really feel?

From 0 to 100 what percentage of coolness would you feel? The remaining percentage belongs to Mr. Fear which is the 'beloved' son of Mrs Attachment.   
What do we mean by attachment... We imagine how the others see us and our whole life is filtered through their eyes and hearts and so we forge a character of which they can be proud and satisfied... according to how the perceive us being 'one of them'.

...and then there comes a day ... and within only a moment you say: "What a shame... and I did so much for you...". And then, after 3 days you say "OK I forgive you... it's ok... let's forget it" . But again after 10 days the same story and life goes on between the two extremes: of pity and anger...

exhaustion or ...inner change

The Mythology of Stress

There are some myths about stress that prevent us from liberally accessing our resources of true peace:

Myth:
"A change in diet, some exercise and a good break from work will lower your stress levels"

Truths: A change in diet, exercise and a holiday can temporarily ease the symptoms of your stress but they cannot cure you.

A proper diet and physical exercise are some of the basics for our well-being but not … our liberators from stress… Nowadays in every local park you will find thousands of track-suited runners, faces lined in pain, sweat pouring out of breathless bodies, all in the name of balance and relaxation.

…and "peace" is achieved, because after two miles they are absolutely exhausted. Peace is not exhaustion or fatigue. It is the ability to quite your mind anywhere, anytime, and know that your body will follow...

}Peace is eternal, which means is an intrinsic feeling of the soul, is a true feeling and as such it cannot come from something external; we cannot have artificial peace. Fortunately we can connect with peace through the power of our thought and thus dive into the Ocean of Peace.

Going on holiday in the 21st century may still be an adventure; it is still a change of scene, people, food and climate. And change can still (sometimes) be as good as a rest. But really deep down you know that you don't need to go anywhere to rest, relax your mind and replenish your heart.

}You know that wherever you go, you will still be with yourself when you arrive. And what you think, feel and do there is likely to be exactly what you think, feel and do wherever you are now. So your 365day thinking and feeling is what you need to change… we need to transform our self.
