Message for the day 18-05-2011
----------------------------------------------------------
Real sweetness is based on truth.
Projection: Real sweetness is living on the line of truth, where we are able to
see what is really happening away from the show of words. When we are working on
our inner sweetness, we can never be cheated by any situation. Time doesn't
teach us to change, but we are able to bring about a change in time.
Solution: What I need to do is to understand the uniqueness of my life and base
it on this truth. Knowing that my life has its own unique purpose and meaning
will enable me to enjoy the greatness of life adding sweetness to it.

Resolving Conflicts in Relationships (cont.)
During a conflict, it is good to realize that the energy that you put into the
conflict will possibly be the quality of energy that you will receive in return.
This is the law of reciprocity (cause and effect). On a subtle level, we radiate
according to our attitude, and on a physical level, we radiate according to our
behavior. What we transmit on a subtle or/and physical level will return to us
in a similar way; unless the 'other' is 'wiser' and decides not to give us back
the same negative energy, but rather to treat us in exchange with a positive
attitude and pro-active behavior. That way, that person won't bring about a
dependence inside us, but rather they will help us to free ourselves of our own
negativity.
Often, conflict between two people happens because we do not get the result in a
relationship that we want; we are stuck to getting a specific result and we
allow our happiness to depend on getting it. On not getting it, we use a wrong
method; we generate a conflict, we feel ourselves to be victims, we blame the
other, we project our pain onto them; all of this under the belief that others -
the other - is who makes us happy or unhappy. This is a false belief.
When your happiness depends on your expectations being fulfilled, it is
difficult to be happy in a constant way. Often expectations are disguised
desires, and where there are desires there is fear - the fear of not getting
what you want. When you don't get it you get unhappy and, in so doing, you keep
happiness away from you. It is good to set yourself goals of peaceful
relationships, but if they are not fulfilled or if these goals take time to
achieve, don't lose your sense of wellbeing. Your happiness is a much more
valuable treasure than the external achievement of your expectations and of
those that others have of you.
