"We have no control on many aspects of our lives, however, we have some control on us. With that control on us (self-control), we can manage to respond positively to many uncontrollable aspects and turn them around to the common good of the society"…. This was the theme discussed on November 29th in the Pine Tree Center, Toronto, Canada. Here are the highlights:
Uncontrollable Aspects:Those aspects that flow like water in a river, however, they can be channeled in any direction we aspire. Examples of such uncontrollable stuff are:
- Circumstances/ situations.
- Thoughts and emotions
- Other people
- Death/Taxes
- Our existence ...etc.
Self-control: Those aspects that empower us to respond to the uncontrollable stuff. Examples or signs of such a self-control are:
-AcceptanceOf situations as they are (not as they should be).
Of yourself as you are (not as you should be)
Of the Power in you that is part and parcel of the Universal Power.
-Peacefulness:Free from external disturbance.
Connection with the Power in you…this is spontaneous peace.
Responding to all situations from the mode of peace (not disturbance).
-Awareness: Being aware of yourself-- which mode are you operating from?
Being aware of the highest potential of operating from the connection.
Being a keen observer to know the reality as is.
Being alert to information from different (particularly unexpected) sources.
Being aware of response actions (as shown by the connection).
-Do: Performing actions as shown in awareness.
-Let Go: Washing your hands off after doing your level best as shown.
Letting the Universal Power look after its outcomes.
Not attached to the outcomes.
Feeling free.
Satisfaction.
Move on to the next assignment.
With this kind of self-control, we can respond to any kind of uncontrollable stuff and effectively manage our lives in a peaceful, loving, abundant and joyful way.
