Will Power Is the Instrument of Change

If you have molded clay into a vase and fired it, and now you want to make that object into a tray, you cannot do so. But you can pulverize the vase and add that powder to fresh clay, and then form it into a tray. Likewise, when a bad habit is fixed in your mind and you want to change it, you will have to use your strong will to pulverize that habit and absorb it into fresh, plable good actions that can be remolded to the desired image. Strong will means strong conviction. The minute you say to yourself, I am not bound by this habit, and mean it, the habit will be gone.

Look  within and determine your main characteristics. Some love to write,  compose music, or dance, others enjoy finance and economics, and so on. Unfortunately, some love to gossip, and others to fight. Don't try to change in yourself what is good. But those things you do against your will, and that make you unhappy after you have done them, are what you want to get rid of. How? Affirm with conviction, I can change! Hold to that thought throughout the day, and carry it with you into the subconscious land of sleep and and the superconscious realm of meditation. That is why I often employ repetition, to penetrate the hard core of human consciousness, a truth must be repeated again and again, gradually becomes a habitual part of one's thoughts. For a few years I have being working on my spiritual priorities, I never miss three things, my meditations, morning and night, my exercises, service to others. This I religiously perform, all else of less importance i somehow manage. These things I tell you come from my own direct experience, and one day will be part of your realization. Experience Your Immortality Through Meditation

Change is a slow natural process

One should never try to impose his will or ideas upon those around him unless they have asked for such guidance. Be an example of what you want others to be. The is the best way to change those around you. Is hard to do, but it can be done. One's effort should be directed toward making himself a person who is respected and looked up to, whose word carries weight. He should speak from true wisdom and unerstanding, never from , nervousness, jelousy, or desire to retaliate when hurt. That is the best way to change others around you. Paramahansa Yogananda

Bring Out the Buried Soul Immortality Within You

Everything God has created is to try us, to bring out the buried soul immortality within us. That is the adventure of life, the one purpose of life. And everyone's adventure is different, unique. You should be prepared to deal with all problems of health, mind, and soul by commonsense methods and faith in God, knowing that in life or death yur soul remains unconquered. You are eternally the image of Spirit.

Never Lose Hope

If you have given up hope of ever being happy, cheer up. Never lose hope. Your Soul, being a reflection of the ever joyous Spirit, is, in essence, happiness itself.

The behavior of others should not be allowed to rub us of our peace of mind.

Is is difficutl for anyone to remain mentally calm and hold his tongue when he is irritated by others, but no human being can successfully go through life telling everyone who annoys him how to behave. Unsolicited counsel crates tremendous resentmen. Reform yourself and you will reform thousands.

Make life an enjoyable experience of te soul...

Practice evenminded calmness all the time. Become a king, an absolute monarch, of your own mental realm of calmnes. Let nothing disturb your peaceable kindom of calmness. This evenmindedness, when maintained by regular deep meditation, removes the boredom, disappointment, and sorrow from everyday life, making it instead a very interesting and enjoyable experience of the soul.

Take an honest look at your life

Have you permitted your life to become warped by forces seemingly stronger than your own? Is you life under your control? Do not sink into the rut of mediocrity. Rise above the crowd. Step out of the choking monotnoy of ordinray existence into a finer, more colorful life of achievement and ever new peace. That is your real Self.

To be calmly active and actively calm

To much activity makes one an automaton and too much calmness makes one lazy and impractical. Peace is the enjoyment of life, activity is the expression of life.

Change is a slow, natural process

God gave every human being a blesse gift, the privacy of his own thoughts. therein he can live and silently create a compaionship and understanding with God that will gradually begin to reflect his entire life, including his relationship with his family, his community, his world . Even those around you do not change perceptibly, the change that is wrought within yourself makes you less vulnerable to the misbehavior ot others...
