Marriages do not work out as we expect them to do because of the gap between the ideal and the strength and sacrifice needed to realise it. This is very much missing today in the fast food and utilitarian culture imported largely from the West. But the Divine is always willing to help us realise the Ideal. He is not the spoilsport to our happiness but the helper and guide and it is only rarely that he does not grant a sincere prayer, and only when He sees the harm that may accrue through it. The reason why relationships end up badly is not God but our incapacity to love. A love full of demands, expectations, wishes and desires based on the need for pleasure or happiness is not so much love but emotional and vital hunger. So too a love calculating gain and loss is a business and a marriage based on social benefits is a transaction. These are as good as failures even if it succeeds by outer standards. So grow in love and try to make it beautiful and sincere. That is all that is needed.
Due to repeated failure in something related to the body, my mind and vital has taken a pessimistic approach of repeating that something or the other will go wrong. I want to develop a positive attitude in the body, mind and vital. Can you please suggest some affirmations that I can practise writing and repeating every day? 😥🙏🏻🌼🦋

Read books and lives of human beings who refused to give up, who turned every failure into a new learning and step towards eventual success. Read the stories of heroes and their sacrifices, of great goals and mighty efforts….
