The True Purpose of Life

Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining

You come at the sunrise

And will go at the sunset

In the between, there will be shiny midday

There will be stormy weather

There will be rain and rainbow also

And in the between, a mist of blur

When the water turns into vapour

And goes to the sky

And we see different clouds

White, black and what not shape and colour

But every cloud has a silver lining.

 

Fame, achievement, success

disappointment, sorrows and failure

And if you don’t get swayed by all of them

And if you remain equanimous in every situation

And if your heart is pure from negativity

You are rich, very rich

And your treasure will be measured by

How much you have contributed to the well-being of humanity.

This is so beautiful. It really is. Isn’t so marvelous to see this life, this gratitude shining in the words from people like you?..i thank you deeply for your beutiful insight to point out that “every cloud has a silver lining”.

Curiosity

Curiosity is our natural ability to look at things with fresh eyes. As we put aside opinions, concepts, projections, and expectations: we become available to experience this moment with the wonder and innocence of a child. 

Being curious brings us into a natural, open, and vast space to explore: “What is this?” “What am I experiencing?” “What am I feeling?”

4. Bring more awareness to what you are feeling. Focus on your felt experience and the qualities of the Inner Resource as you embody it. Resist the habit to analyze. Simply feel your body and emotions. 

5. Be open to your current experience, whatever it is, without judgment. Just ride the wave of the experience.

6. Remember that the quality of your attention and what you are feeling are more important than the content. Notice how your attention changes, waxing and waning, growing stronger, and sometimes getting distracted. No worries, simply bring your awareness back to the moment, take a deep breath, and focus on the Inner Resource.

7. Become familiar with the feelings and sensations of the Inner Resource you have chosen. Feel what is showing up in your physical body and your emotional body. Be curious to discover how this Inner Resource will support you in your life, to be who you really want to be, and feel how you really want to feel. It is through feeling the Inner Resource that you activate the frequency of it. 

Take 5 Deep Breaths

1. Feel your body.

2. Relax your shoulders.

3. Choose a word that makes you feel peaceful, such as om, peace, or love.

4. Inhale slowly while mentally saying the word you chose. Pause before starting the exhalation.

5. Exhale slowly while mentally saying 1 with the first breath. Exhale saying 2 with the second breath, up to 5 or more.

Feel Your Body

Relax your body, and just be aware of how your body feels. Be curious about what is happening in your body. Without changing anything, just notice what you are feeling. Notice where you are feeling things in your body. Make yourself more comfortable if you’d like. Take a deep breath, and feel the sensation of aliveness and the energy of your body.
