Today's Thought.
Getting on with it : Worrying about how everything will get done or whether I am capable of doing it limits my ability to respond to challenges considerably. The less I think about doing something and the faster I just get on with it, the fewer problems I cause myself. Good planning is always helpful, but time spent fretting and procrastinating is a major drain on my energy. The more willing I am to respond positively to opportunities, the more my capacity will grow.

Enlightenment Thought.
An Angel's Face: An angel's face is still because there are no lies inside. Truth makes it a straight, simple face whose beauty lies not in its form but in the feeling it gives you.

Self improvement Thought.
Tolerance: You have the power to tolerate anyone and any situation. But tolerance is not just suffering in silence. It means going beyond any personal discomfort you may feel, and giving a gift to whom ever you would tolerate. Give your time, attention, understanding, compassion, care - all are gifts, which paradoxically, you also receive in the process of giving. And, as you do, you will experience your own self esteem and inner strength grow. In this way you can turn tolerance into strength.

Try to dive into the Ocean of peace.
Allow five to ten minutes for this creative meditation. Imagine you are swimming in an ocean, being tossed by the waves. Create the experience as vividly as you can by concentrating on each of your senses. Then let yourself sink down slowly under the water (where you can still breathe normally). Enjoy drifting weightlessly in the pleasant coolness. Rest a while, floating, immersed in the still, silent water, until you are ready to return to the surface.

Experience tranquility in your busy day. Revitalize and refresh yourself in an ocean of peace.
