Effort
What we do when we are diffident ! We may
have an open mind but we would refuse many opportunities as “I can’t do this”
or “ I am not cut out for this” or even, “ I am not interested. “ is anyone
born interested ?
I am quite convinced that if we just say to
ourselves,” no harm in trying it out”, we
have already broken the wall around us. It is a start. Next comes
sustaining the effort. Never anticipate results. It is the joy in just doing
something.
We have a tendency to expect results even
before mastering anything. And what is that ? “ I want to show people I can do
it”. We do most things for other people’s approval.
We seldom think , “I am enjoying what I am doing and that is
most important. I am doing this for ME.”
But even that enjoyment might begin to
happen a few days or months down when we have built this activity into our
daily routine. Like, we start reading a book reluctantly because someone has
insisted. And a few pages later, we get so engrossed that we finish the book
cover to cover.
Keeping an open mind is therefore , a great
starting to acquiring knowledge. After all, if we keep the door closed, where
will the trash air enter ?

Divine love
I don't know why people feel that praising
anyone takes away from them. How ? I have never understood. In fact, lauding
people for their , accomplishments or achievements or talent makes you feel so
good ! So connected to the Divine energy that stands illuminated in each one of
us.
Being generous is a true gift. Many times,
if we don't like someone, we only criticise . And praise ??? Never !!! Sad but
true ! Envy ? Probably . Low self esteem ? For sure.
But once we analyse this, we must make a
genuine effort to cleanse this aspect within us . Because this block really
acts as a big obstacle, a hindrance in our personal growth. It blocks the heart
which carries the Divine energy of divine love.
