Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I can't imagine anyone arguing that being positive and being appreciative helps bring a Great Life. But the truth is, not everyone knows how to do that - especially those who have been exposed to much criticism from others in their early childhood. So it's good when one comes across some tool that could help - I liked this idea - because it's all in the mind, so it's easier than saying things that might feel "phoney" and uncomfortable. I'm sure after it being in the mind it's not a big stretch to make it vocal. So I bless you all to Pay It Forward - bless all you have connections with in your mind - Klara KIND WORDSRadiate Positive Energy A System to Make More Time for KindnessThe author wishes to remain anonymousEdited by Shmuel GreenbaumPrinted with Permission of http://www.TraditionOfKindness.orgI have a friend who is a tremendously kind person. Although she has a large family and finding time for others is difficult, she has a great system that takes little or no extra time—whenever she does something for her family she thinks of ways to help others at the same time: When her children are home, she asks a neighbor who has a hard time with her son, if she’d like to send her son over to play for a while. When she bakes, she doubles her recipe so she has an extra cake or an extra batch of cookies to give away to a neighbor making a family celebration, or just to someone who could use a little "pick-me-up."----------------------------------------------------------------- "Radiate Positive Energy"From Kindness: Making a Difference in People's Lives: Formulas, stories, and insightsBy Zelig Pliskin Printed with Permission of Shaar Press I know an individual who excelled in the ability to make people feel good about themselves. "What thoughts go through your mind when you meet someone new?" I asked him."I always mentally bless people with success in what is important to them," was the reply.When you wish people success in your mind, you radiate positive energy. Even though others don’t know exactly what you are thinking, they pick up positive energy. As King wrote "As water reflects a face back to face, so one’s heart is reflected back to him by another." When your heart and mind generate positive energy, others feel good about themselves and good about you.All too many people think critical or negative thoughts about others. This is noticeable in the look in their eyes and their entire facial expression. With very critical people, the victims can feel very uncomfortable. How can these people change? They can begin by seeing the good in others and blessing them in their minds.Bless people in your mind whether they are people you know or people you are seeing for the first time. Whether they are people you especially like or you don’t for whatever reason.Whenever you see that someone has a troubled, worried, or sad look on his face, bless him in your mind. Wish him healing. Wish him solutions. Wish him joy.Some of the thoughts you can think are:"I wish this person much happiness.""I wish this couple marital harmony and unity.""I wish this person financial success."(Upon seeing a person who is angry:) "I wish this person inner peace.""I wish this person a healthy child.""I wish this student success in his studies."When one’s mind is full of blessings for others, the very first to benefit from those blessings is the one radiating those good wishes.Consider this story, which I heard from one of my students:An intuitive person with a sharp eye who used to be super critical shared with me, "I used to view people negatively. If someone had a fault, that’s all I saw. And who doesn’t have faults. I emitted a subtle message to people that they were unworthy and of less value than myself. I would get feedback that people tended to feel uncomfortable in my presence."Long ago a friend told me, ‘Bless people in your mind.’ This went in one ear and out the other. But recently I heard someone say this again. For some reason I was more receptive to try it. I can attest that this is a powerful practice. I now recommend this to everyone I can. Again and again I hear from people that they enjoy my company. I had never heard this before I started mentally blessing people." ----------------------------------------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals?
