People look for love through relationships. Yet this  love is coloured with expectation. When these expectations are not fulfilled there is a tendency to get upset. Before we can love others, we need to learn to love ourselves. When I love myself, I am able to appreciate all the unique qualities and virtues that are…

The most important part of you is your mind (not your brain – the brain is the hardware and the mind creates the software). Care for your mind, make friends with it, always feed it healthy food, engage it in positive activity, exercise it with knowledge and wisdom. Like a garden returns fragrance and beauty…

We are surrounded by graceful surrender. The geese surrender to the first autumn chills, and think of flying south. The flower surrenders to the night and shuts up shop as the setting sun surrenders to the horizon of another day. A mother surrenders to the needs of her baby, and the child surrenders to the…

We tend to see things not as they are but as we are. Becoming quiet and simple inside is a first step to seeing things truly.

Our subconscious mind has no sense of humour, plays no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives.

Think elevated thoughts, and they will shine like stars. Hold these thoughts in your mind, and, like stars, they become bright and luminous. When your mind mirrors a clear, starry night sky, your thoughts will brighten your mood and illuminate your world.

Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It’s your choice how you live life.

A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.

Behind all creation is silence. Silence is the essential condition, the vital ingredient for all creation and all that is created. It is a power in its own right. The artist starts with a blank canvas – silence. The composer places it between and behind the notes. The very ground of your being, out of…

When we’re cooking, our minds are working. When we’re stirring and rolling and baking, we’re thinking. Thinking creates vibrations because that’s what thoughts do. The vibes affect both the food and the people who eat the food. So, cook with care; pay attention to what you are thinking; and don’t forget that in the best…

The positive is more powerful than the negative. The positive is innate. The negative indicates what is missing inside you. Light exists and its absence is darkness.

In a world where everyone has their own set of challenges, it’s important to remember the power of support and understanding. If you notice someone struggling with a weakness, consider it not just an opportunity, but a duty, to lend a hand. Talking about someone’s struggles doesn’t showcase strength or kindness. True greatness, and the…

By finding at least one wonderful quality in everyone, your life will become a dance.

The best time to awaken both body and spirit is in the early morning. We are fresh, in solitude, and the vibrations of the world are at their calmest. It is not surprising that you will find all experienced meditators and yogis up with the dawn, inviting the sun of spirit to shine into the…

Every thought creates vibrations. Vibrations are like sound waves or radiations. No obstacles, no hurdles can stop them. Start each day by creating and nurturing good vibrations within, this will then silently touch everyone I come into contact with.

All that we encounter in life, whether it’s possessions, connections, or issues, they’re all transient. By allowing all things to follow their natural course, we don’t suffer loss but rather experience freedom. Much like how the sun graces us with warmth and light, appreciating each element in our lives while it lasts teaches us to…

If I learn to create love in my heart and silently share it with everyone I meet, love will grace every corner of my life.

Only when we find the quietness in our own minds can we begin to hear our inner teacher, so that we may receive some in-tuition. Only when we are ready to recognise and value the wisdom that we carry at the core of our being will we turn our attention inwards and ‘listen in’. But…

Meditation is the process of getting to know yourself completely, both who you are inside and how you react to what is outside. Above all, meditation is enjoying yourself in the literal sense of the word. Through meditation, you discover a very different ‘me’ from the person who may be stressed or troubled, the person…

Everyone thinks they need to get something. But the truth is we don’t need anything. We already have what we need. Trouble arises when we think we have to keep what we receive. It’s the keeping that sustains our neediness. But whatever comes to us is not for keeping, it is for giving. And when…

To help others discover their talents is the best help we can give. Sometimes people are unaware of their talents, or afraid to use them. But if we do not use the gifts we have been given, we can never be truly happy. Throughout our lives, people help us grow. As we grow older, we…

A rich person is not someone who has more, but someone who desires less.

The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

There is a part of you that is perfect and pure. It is untouched by the less-than-perfect characteristics you have acquired by living in a less than perfect world. This part of you is a still and eternal star. Make time to reach it and this will bring you untold benefit.

You are wonderful just as you are. Once you see that and accept that… others will too.

It is far better to observe than to absorb every word, feeling and attitude, to get over-involved, or react too much. Observing gives us the patience and clarity to think act appropriately. Observing creates an inner focus that allows us to see reality.

Solutions are never necessary because there are no problems, only our perception makes it seem so, and only our minds make our perceptions seem real. If there is a problem it is our perception. That is hard to see in a world that celebrates and rewards the finding and solving of ‘the problem’. When you…

This New Year, we wish you a world filled with peace, a mind brimming with creativity, and a heart overflowing with love. May your days be touched by the magic of life and your nights sparkle with dreams that guide your way. Let’s continue to spread light and love, one thought at a time. Happy…

Work is only work if you prefer to be somewhere else. Work tends to be a negative perception of a task which we reluctantly approach. Work is only labour when we forget to see our life as it truly is – an opportunity to be creative, enrich others and be enriched ourselves. When we are…

No matter the hurdles we face, there’s always light to be found. Life’s journey is full with ups and downs, but amidst the challenges, there are countless reasons to hold gratitude close to our hearts. Today, let’s pause and reflect on the precious gift of life and its many wonders. From the air we breathe…

Walk quickly today, not because you are in a hurry, but because you value the exercise for legs and heart. As you walk, allow your thoughts to visit you, but not stay. Let them come to pass, and you will be surprised how quickly they become positive, and filled with creative ideas. And paradoxically, if…

Life is akin to a dance between forgetting and remembering. We falter in this delicate game when we lose sight of our true essence and purpose, overshadowing our present with the shadows of the past. Forgetting who we are—spiritual beings of non-physical, eternal nature, embodiments of love, peace, and bliss—leads us astray. Our true self…

An honest heart is an open heart. If we are dishonest in any way with ourselves or with others, it means we are in hiding. There is a wall, a barrier behind which we conceal something of ourselves. Subtle tension will be our companion, and while most of us learn to live with it, it…

Expand your awareness a little and mistakes no longer need to make you feel guilty. For example, if you saw your life as an Actor does his play, you would see one scene unfolding after another. Each passing scene, having passed is now over. Wisdom says: “This is how to see it” Letting bygones be…

Sow a thought and reap a deed, Sow a deed and reap a habit, Sow a habit and reap a character, Sow a character and reap a destiny. Plant a thought and you shall cultivate an action. This means that everything begins with our thoughts. What we think can eventually become an action or deed.…

Within each one of us there is a master of the universe. Not the universe out there but the inner universe of our thoughts and feelings, attitudes and actions. Most people realise too late what awaits within and how valuable it is. For too long we allow ourselves to be distracted and bewitched by all…

Determination is the strength that will enable you to pass the barrier of useless thoughts in order to create positive thoughts and to be successful in whatever you wish. It comes from within and its partner is patience. Patience teaches you not to push but rather to wait and appreciate the game of life instead,…

The gap between what you say and what you do, between what you promise and what you deliver, is like a drain in the road. The drain is where water escapes, just as your power will seep away if there is a difference between your words and your actions.

If your days seem filled with unwanted negative feelings, there is only one cure. When they come, choose them. Don’t ask why, don’t wonder how, don’t fight them and never put yourself down for having them. But most of all never blame someone else for how you feel. If you do, it means you are…

Patience teaches you not to push, but rather to wait and appreciate the game of life, knowing that nothing remains the same and everything will change at some point.

You become whatever you think about deeply. Think only about peace, love and happiness. Feel these values as part of your life and you will become them.

The more good wishes and kind feelings we have for others, the more our own happiness increases.

Success in life often hinges on our ability to connect with others. We commonly find ourselves adjusting our attitudes and responses based on someone else’s behaviour, usually waiting for them to change first. However, mastering the art of connection means recognizing and valuing others’ unique qualities. When we do this, our success doesn’t depend on…

In the relentless pursuit of tasks and goals, it’s easy to overlook a fundamental truth: being precedes doing. Those who embrace this understanding take time to simply ‘be’. In these moments of stillness and presence, they often find that life unfolds effortlessly, providing what is needed. At its core, learning to ‘be’ is learning to…

Your thoughts guide you to your destiny. If you always think the same you will always get to the same place. Think in a new way and you will be a new person. Give happiness to all and you will live in peace. Create peace in your mind and you will create a world of…

My anger with someone actually means I am angry with myself.

Every passing moment is like a passing act in a play. Each of us are the actors playing out parts very well. An actor is never focused on another actors part, continually criticizing it. He just gets on with his own part, playing it as best he can. This Drama of Life is eternal, predestined…

True happiness comes when my mind and the senses have become quiet and peaceful. In that state, there is spiritual power; we are performing actions, but free from desires and free from attachment to what we do. Such happiness finishes any sorrow that comes to us. Take time to find that quiet and peaceful place…

In the silence of my being, in the stillness of peace, I ponder the greatness of my existence, and the truly endless love and power I have within me.

If your mind has any limited desires, they will not allow you to become content. When you are walking in the sun, your shadow goes ahead of you and if you try to catch it, you won’t be able to. When you turn around, your shadow will follow you. In the same way, desires attract…

Some people say that it is very difficult to be positive in this highly negative world. But just as an incense stick spreads fragrance everywhere and dispels bad odour, the power of constantly pure and positive thoughts can transform the negative attitudes and atmosphere of any person or place.
