January : Egolessness

Egolessness is an emotional state where one feels no ego;

When I am in state of self-glorification, hungry for personal praise or fame, and not concerned about the well being of the team, then it is ego. In ego, I think I am the only one who knows, the one who is right. Ego kills co-operation. Ego is closely connected to body-consciousness. An enormous 'I and my' factor comes in when I think of myself as this body, and lose sight of the soul. My race, my color, my gender, my physical appearance, my education, my family, my job, my position, my possessions - all these become part of the build-up of ego.

February : Acceptance

Accepting the Power to Change

Acceptance means I realize the only thing I have the power to change is the terrain of my own soul. The paradigm of the old world is to wrestle with the systems and people that need to be fixed. The paradigm of the new age we are entering is to accept that our greatest power to change the world lies in changing our own being. Today, I will accept this power and tend to the terrain of my inner being.

March : Tolerance

Tolerance is the CROWN of all Values.

Tolerance is a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality, etc., differ from one's own. Tolerance frees the mind of waste thoughts, as there is no negativity towards anyone. Also tolerance frees you from questions about things that are going wrong. When you are free from waste thoughts, you can do your best and you will find yourself successful. So this month I will practice Tolerance and try to imbibe it in my Daily routine.

April : Mercy

Merciful:

Mercy means Kindness, Forgiveness. It’s a broad area which refers to a variety contexts like ethical, religious, social, legal. The one who is full of mercy, is merciful. Need to keep below lines in mind when practicing being Merciful.

People are often unreasonable, self-centered: Forgive them anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you, but be honest anyway.
What you spend years to build, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway.
You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God; it never was between you and them anyway.

December: Honesty

HONESTY

An Honest heart is an open heart. If we are dishonest in any way with ourselves or with others, it means we are hiding. Honesty is to speak that which is thought and to do that which is spoken.There are no contradictions or discrepancies in thoughts, words or actions. A state of honesty and cleanliness where I am the same inside and outside, not deceiving either me or others. Consequently, there is no room for artificiality.

Honesty to the self brings progress at a quick speed. Honesty inspires trust.
