Be resolute and stay focused !!!

If your heart is bent on accomplishing something and you are determined to achieve it- come what may- then, no power on Earth can stop you from achieving it. It may not happen immediately but eventually you will be able to make your dream come true. So don’t give up; be resolute and stay focused. It’s those that dream to fly who grow wings.~Latika Teotia

Practice conscious thinking !!!

Momentary high feeling which gives you instant happiness or what pleases the eye, doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s good for your soul or for your spiritual growth. Use your discretion to accept what helps you attain spiritual bliss. ~Latika Teotia

Find joy in the ordinary !!!

At times very small things may bring much more happiness than bigger and “better” ones. Look around you and notice things. An innocent toothless smile, a good laugh, a good movie, an old song bringing back memories of yesteryears, a warm embrace, a child cuddling up to you or falling asleep in your arms, prayers, a flock of birds in the sky, a beautiful sunrise or sunset and so on can bring a lot of joy. Unwind and just let yourself free. You’ll see beauty all around you; beauty that is uplifting and all encompassing.~Latika Teotia

Resisting won’t help !!!

Good or bad, happy or sad, everything that happens does so for a reason; no incident in this world is a stray occurrence. Don’t be unnecessarily perplexed or anxious about it.  ~Latika Teotia

Contentment !!! Happiness !!! Peace !!!

Happy persons SEE joy in everything; they don’t go SEARCHING for it. They see God’s miracles and learn to enjoy them. The flight of a bird, rainbow in the sky, fluttering of butterflies, children playing with gay abandon, an old couple in the park enjoying their togetherness, sunrise, clouds in the sky, a clear sunny day or the rhythm of the falling rain, and so many countless things fill them with joy.

Happy persons aren’t necessarily the rich or the famous ones. They are content with what they have and are delighted by even the smallest thing. Learn to enjoy what you have instead of hankering for more. Don’t be overly concerned about the past and don’t be anxious about the future either otherwise you’ll not be able to enjoy the present. ~Latika Teotia

Don’t overstretch yourself, be grounded, have faith !!!

We worry too much about the future and the unknown with the result we forget to enjoy our present. We pay too much heed to trying to be a ‘know all’ and thereby end up confusing ourselves. Let it be. Don’t overstretch yourself, be grounded, have faith and let things unfold themselves. Don’t try to control things and don’t be overly concerned about what the future holds. There is joy in unexpected pleasant surprises. There is so much that life has to offer. Accept it. Trust God and His mysterious ways to lead as well as guide us. ~Latika Teotia

 

My prayer for today !!!

O God, I pray that the people who are passing through difficult times should find solace while remembering and praying to you. Make their faith in you even stronger than before- they need you even more than before.
~Latika Teotia

Spread the message of love and peace !!!

I am not in favour of suppressing freedom of expression or gagging the media but I’ve been increasingly feeling that we must play down a few things. More we talk of crimes, violence, unrest and so on the more the chances that these will increase.

Take a look around you, there is so much negativity being reported that one feels that only violence, crime, unrest and so on exist in this world and that there is no peace and tranquility. The mind works in such a way that people indulge in those things that are reported and so we see all around us that crimes have increased; rapes are increasing, shootouts are frequent, news of murders and killings occupy the front page and so on. So what’s the way out?

Well, for starters at least YOU can stop spreading news of crimes, violence and so on. Your focus should be on spreading the message of love, peace, harmony, honesty, unselfishness, charity and so on. It may be a small drop but at least it’ll be a beginning.~Latika Teotia
