2The Only Weapons I Need In situations of
conflict, I have to realise that the only
weapons I need are a smile and a loveful
attitude.
3Honesty 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.
4An Angel Acceptance gives me the experience of
being like an angel never judging, never
criticising and never worrying.
5Manners A person of wisdom and spirituality has
very beautiful manners that have grown from
genuine respect and love for the whole of
humanity. Manners in this sense have nothing to
do with culture or education it is simply a
question of humility. When we are at the
receiving end of such manners, we feel that some
deeper part of us has been honoured. In fact,
none of us deserves anything less.
6Get Past Your Past Let the past be the past -
both my past and the past of others. There's no
need to keep repeating the past in my head.
Think Whatever happened, happened, it's OK for
me to move on. Let me be supportive and make it
easy, not difficult - for myself and others.
When I stay in the present, everything is
pleasant.
7True Greatness The one who can adjust to any
situation with humility possesses true greatness.
8Be Here Now Treasure every moment that you have.
And treasure it more because you shared it with
someone special, special enough to spend your
time. Remember that time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery. Today
is a gift... That's why it's called the present.
9Quick to Forgive Rather than being quick to
judge, be quick to forgive.
10Attachment The root of suffering is attachment.
You have created a space in your mind that holds
a person or object as part of you. When that
person or object is criticized, neglected or not
with you, you feel pain in your mind and you
experience a sense of loss. If you want to be
happy, you must learn to love and appreciate
while remaining independent.
11Good Wishes Giving good wishes to others acts
like sunlight, filtering into the dark corners of
their mind and lightening their burden.
12Discovering SpiritualityFaith in spirituality
enables us to trust ourselves. With trust we can
let go of the past and have the courage to dare.
To dare with courage gives us the confidence to
know that we can achieve what we set out to
achieve. If we begin with doubt then we have
sown the seed of possible failure. Faith in
spirituality always allows us to win. Every step
of faith opens another chapter in our lives.
13Calmness Silence Calmness increases efficiency.
Silence increases effectiveness.
14Peace of Mind Peace of mind comes not from
wanting to change others, but by simply accepting
them as they are.
15Cheerfulness The one who possesses cheerfulness
becomes like a magnet of goodwill.
16Spotting GoodnessWhen I become excessively
critical towards others, it means I am going in
the wrong direction. We are usually very good at
spotting mistakes, but we should develop the
quality of also spotting goodness. If I can see
what is good in others or in situations and go
beyond the curtain of negativity, I feel good
about myself. If I constantly think "he is
wrong", I instead create a barrier which blocks
me from reaching my own goodness.
17The Secret to Being ContentTo be peaceful is to
be free from expectations and to want nothing
from anyone. Take the initiative and be generous.
Lead the way and do something. This is the secret
to being content in all circumstances.
18True PeaceTrue peace can be experienced only
when we stop giving and taking sorrow. In order
not to give sorrow we need a clear heart that has
no ill feelings and for not taking sorrow we need
a big heart that can tolerate and help other
souls to get over their weaknesses.
19Happiness in the HeartTo have questions in your
heart means to be distressed and to cause
distress for others. Therefore, be one who has
happiness in the heart, not questions in the
heart.
20Less Is More Fear less, hope more Eat less,
chew more Whine less, breathe more Hate less,
love more and all good things are yours.
