1. Remove Darkness to Bring Light In Your Life

Diwali is the festival of lights, the fight of good over evil. To celebrate the victory of Lord Rama over the demon king we light diyas and lamps but forget to remove the darkness within our soul. We need to eliminate inner darkness. Hold up on the negative thoughts and bring positively in our lives. We need to bring in wisdom, eliminate darkness, the negative thoughts and remove all the limitations prevailing into our minds. 

Trust your insight and throw off all the negativity and inner darkness and master your skills and knowledge to light your life.

3. Be Patient Like Lord Rama

Pandavas and Lord Rama were sent to exile but they didn’t lose hope or became impatient. Similarly, remember every ordeal that comes in life will have an end, time will heal everything. No matter how long you will have to wait, don’t worry, be on the right path and keep moving without worrying about the hardship. Fight well and believe in the almighty as the good deeds will surely pay off. 

As said take lessons from Lord Rama and Sita Ma be patient and lead a life of dharma and dignity with virtue.

4. Remove All The Negativity

People lit of whole Ayodhya and cleaned their houses, decorated their houses with diyas to celebrate the victory of good over evil. 

From then it became an old tradition and a ritual to clean the houses, discard all the negativity so that God can reside in our home. We welcome Goddess Lakshmi in our home but forget to clean our heart and mind from all the negativity. This is the time to let go off all the bad habits, thoughts, and get rid of the wrong company. Love more, throw off your ego and vibe positively. 

5. Sharing is Caring
