These days it seems like my daughters are the ones who inspire me and train me to be a better one always. So we had a get-together and I love all the celebrations and meeting friends and family. A lot of friends came and along came their children and there were many children at home. She has little aggressive nature and she can get violent if she doesn’t like something. So I had to instruct her not to pick up a fight with anyone who comes as a guest. She behaved and after everyone left I loved and thanked her. She was looking at my face and said, Mumma but I do get a feeling to hit and I know it is wrong, still, I get the feeling that I will hit them and I hit them. I hugged her and asked her but today you did not, even if others were fighting. There were some eight children from the age 3 years old to 8 years old. Then I told her, today you told your mind that I will behave. I will handle everything with love and kindness and I will be patient today.
So when you instructed your mind to behave, your mind followed and when you did not, even if you knew it was wrong, you followed your mind and you end up doing something wrong despite knowing the circumstances. (In this scenario being grounded and punished.) But when the mind followed you as you had instructed, you came out successfully. She smiled and slept. It reminded me of a gentleman, who had many relationship issues as he was following a blind pattern for which his old-style friends were training. But when he started telling or instructing how he wanted his relationship to be and he would want to behave, he won!
Another gentleman was going through a lot of losses in the business. He had a tough time, he could come out of that. however, before going to bed, he started visualizing that he was making money and his bank balance was growing. In a few months, things changed and he started making profits.
So we need to decide, what do we want and how we want our mind to think to have a better alignment with the life.
