Discovering and building upon The Heart Of Your Room is the final step towards achieving Peace and Harmony within your room and home.
What is the heart of the room? The heart of the room is "You".
You are the one whose energy will fill the room and create the environment felt by family and friends.
You are the one that makes the shabbiest painting look beautiful or the most magnificent sculpture look tainted.
You are the one with the power to immediately put at ease all those that enter your room or home.
You are the one with the ultimate and final say as to how your room and home will feel.
Where to Begin
Learn The Basic Truths
There are certain truths that are universal. We say universal because otherwise, they wouldn't be truths at all.
Whatever it is that you want your friends and family to give to you, give it to them first.
Let's be honest. You want to know your friends and family are happy in your home and you love when they acknowledge the efforts you have made to satisfy them. However, if you truly wish them happiness and joy, don't serve it to them just for the hope that they will return some to you. Serve it to them because you really want to and because it's not important if they give any back. Learn to truly give.
- If you want to feel peace, give them peace first.
- If you want to experience true friendship, give them friendship first.
- If you want real honesty to exist, give them honesty first.
You get back what you give. The results may not always be obvious or immediate, but they will occur. The important thing is that you must really be honest with yourself and be sincere in what you are giving. If you give fake or surface friendship, that is all you can expect back. That same principal applies to all things. Be honest and sincere and you will be able to begin creating the environment you truly desire.
Hold no grudges or prejudices by learning to forgive.
Society has taught us to judge. It taught us to fear what we don't understand or to put down those that we consider to be less worthy of life than we are. Since we neither have all the facts, nor see clearly all sides of a situation, we should never judge. We have neither the ability nor the right to properly judge.
- Whatever may have happened in the past, can't be undone. Let it go.
- Realize that the people you see are much greater than what their past history or society has shown to you. Give them a chance to really be themselves and not an image of who you think they are.
Any form of negativity will hinder your attempts of creating the true sense of peace and harmony within your room or home. Grudges create a sense of bondage and ill-will. If you don't hold anything against the people that enter your home, you are freeing them to excel and to show their true colors. Free of their chains, they will add to the environment of peace and harmony that you initiated.
You need to stop hoping to become that wonderful new person and start being that wonderful new person. If you are hoping to change or improve, all you will get is more hoping. Make the change! Be the thing you already are capable of.
- Don't try to fool yourself and your friends into thinking you are something you're not. Be that person you want them to see you as.
- Practice your "I Am's" and project a positive image of who you want to be.
For example: "I am not going to let depression consume me anymore", "I am not going to drink too much.", "I am going to pay more attention to my children.", "I am not going to worry about my future anymore."
Remember that phrase "You are what you eat", well magnify that by 100 fold when you consider "You are what you think and say". You need to be positive about yourself and about your future. Doing this will make you a better, more peaceful and more harmonious person. Having accomplished that, anyone and everyone who enters your home will feel it, partake in it and take some home with them.
