12 Principles for 'Today'...

[Guest guest]

will not respond in a like manner. 2. TODAY I WILL ASK GOD TO BLESS MY

'ENEMY'.... If I come across someone who treats me harshly or unfairly.....

I will quietly ask Baba to bless that individual. I understand that

the 'enemy' could be a family member, neighbour, co-worker or even a stranger.

3. TODAY I WILL BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT I SAY . . . I will carefully choose

and guard my words being certain that I do not hurt anyone.... or spread

gossip. 4. TODAY I WILL GO THAT EXTRA MILE . . . I will find

ways to help share the burden of another person. 5. TODAY I WILL FORGIVE .

.. . I will forgive any hurts or injuries that come my way. 6. TODAY I

WILL DO SOMETHING KIND...... I will reach out and bless the life of

another.......anonymously! 7. TODAY I WILL TREAT OTHERS WITH LOVE & RESPECT

.. . I will practice the golden rule. 'Do Unto others as I would have them do

Unto me' - with EVERYONE I encounter. 8. TODAY I WILL COMFORT....... My

smile, my words, my expression of support, can make the difference to someone

who is wrestling with life. 9. TODAY I WILL NURTURE MY BODY . . . I will

eat less . . . I will eat only healthy foods. I will thank God for my body.

10. TODAY I WILL ‘LOVE’ MY NEIGHBOUR….. (1) Lack of love is often easy

to justify…..however… it is never right! (2) Our neighbour is anyone of

any race, creed, or social background who is in need; and (3) Love

means acting to meet the person's needs. (4) There is no reason good enough

........ever......for refusing to help. 11. TODAY I WILL

GROW SPIRITUALLY . . . I will spend a little more time in prayer today. I will

begin reading something spiritual or inspirational; I will find a quiet

place... at some point during this day.... and listen to God's voice. 12.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER……... That every moment…..is a gift from God….. so

I will treat it preciously. Remain Blessed! Duty is God, Work is

Worship

Hi Farah and Sai family,

i have something to say about forgive and forget;

especially the "cannot forget" part. ArtOng Jumsai was

giving a talk in Poornachandra (maybe 1999 or 2000, i

can't remember) and people asked him similar

questions; they couldn't forget certain things that

happened, or the memory of whatever happen doesn't

seem to go away, suddenly pop up and disturbs.

 

He said something like this: whatever happens in our

life stays in the mind ( i can't remember it the

correct term is subconscious etc; sorry i'm forgetful)

; the mind is like a camera and it sticks there;

 

but what i can understand from what he said was that:

it is up to us to get over the mind and master the

mind. bad memory will never be gone; can even be

things from past lives, it is up to us not to let it

come out and bother us.

 

regards

yvonne
