How to handle life's challenges

Life  is a journey which we can complete either by complaining about the challenges, or by gracefully accepting them as an opportunity to learn and grow.  We are constantly conditioned to avoid pain and work towards getting more happiness in life.  Whenever, we perceive us going through difficult time, we get angry/sad and keep waiting for the that time to end. However, life passes in moments and we must completely live every moment regardless of the feeling that it brings. Happiness or sorrow, both are transient states and the only thing that's permanent in life is "change".  Good or bad time are just the  perceptions of our mind. Here is a great Mantra to be remembered:
  
"This too will pass."

 We should always remember this mantra, and not get attached to any event of our life.  If we always remember this mantra, nothing can make us suffer in our life and we can always be satisfied with whatever life brings to us. If we follow this mantra, we shall never get overwhelmed in any situation and lead our life with peace and gratitude.

Our life is directed by the inner desires stored in our subconscious mind i.e. our "feeling mind".  Here so many of our desires are deeply rooted, which drive us towards the various experiences of our life.  Each event of our life is extremely important for our growth and development. Present moment is the only time that's real and to be lived completely.  So, we should calmly lead our life, gracefully accepting each experience as a gift from God and, without getting attached to any experience, we should keep reminding our self that "This too will pass".

Daily practice to attract Abundance in life

Here is a 5 minute exercise which can be practiced every night before going to sleep. It will bring us in a positive state of mind, and while we are sleeping our subconscious mind will automatically work to bring more abundance in our life.

It is a two step exercise:

Step 1: We must think about any three good things that happened today. It can be anything mundane or most exalted, but it should seem to bring more abundance and happiness in our life. It can be as simple a fact like "I enjoyed the evening walk today" or something else like "I was announced the  #1 bestseller author." We can either write down such three good things from the day or we may contemplate them mentally.

Step 2: Next is the very important part of this exercise where we must reflect on "why" each good thing happened. We have to find the reason for each event and feel the gratitude towards the people or conditions involved. For example, I enjoyed the walk because God gave me the strength to go out, or maybe because two strangers greeted me with a smile, or maybe because the weather was so pleasant, or whatever else that made your walk enjoyable. It can be any reason that makes sense to us. Let's now extend our love and gratitude to God or other people involved in bringing those happy moments in our life today. Let's feel that love and peace completely with a big smile on our face and close the day with this small prayer to God.

"Oh God, protect us from all negativity, 

fill our heart with eternal love and peace,

keep us healthy and guide us with your light.

Thank you God!"

The Golden Rule for Emotional Health

Here is a Golden Rule :

"Be a provider of all the emotions you want to experience in life."

Everyday we look forward to receive love, respect, happiness etc. from our friends/family/co-workers, and feel disappointed if they are not able to meet our expectations. Now,instead of waiting for their response or permission, we can constantly experience these elated emotions, if we take the initiative to become the provider of these emotions. If we follow this Golden Rule, we can experience positive emotions all the time at our own Will. We have to be the change we want to see in others. 

We feel loved, whenever we give love.

We feel respected, whenever we treat others with respect.

We feel inner strength, whenever we help someone.

We feel happy, whenever we appreciate something.

We feel joyous, whenever we thank God for His blessings.
