Was it just the other morning that i rang my cousin and she told me the sky was heavily overcast and that a big dark cloud hung over a particular house,a cloud that was stationary and just did not move? And then,and i don't know when that happened,a ray of sunlight pierced the dark cloud and what a difference that made!

I have been given to thinking for sometime that many of us have dark clouds hovering over our lives.We seem to be surrounded by negativity that just does not go away.And the,suddenly,either something good happens to us or somebody brings a ray of sunshine into our lives simply by accepting us as we are.The hardest thing in our lives is to be misunderstood.

I have learned from my experience that that is when we need to trust in ourselves the most.Because when we trust ourselves,we are strengthening our belief in our own goodness.We can then continue to encounter others without any discomfort the good and the bad.We learn to set aside the negative link with the positive forces combined effect is similar to ray of sunshine that pierces the clouds.

Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain.When the rain clouds hover,we remain covered by all the forces that make us retreat and pull us down.One advantage of being down,really down,is that once we are there,we can only move upwards.

When we light candles or diyas as symbols of hope,we are reaffirming that we are meant to be creatures of light.The wind may blow the light away,yet we keep lightning them till the flame is steady that flickering stops.

I became a cloud lifter when i stopped looking at everything from only my point of view.In that way some others treated me.Well,i could not possible help all those who feel down and out but i could try to understand them.I felt i should give them the very understanding that was denied to me.

And so,if your lives are covered with dark clouds at the moment,there is no need to despair.If you keep meeting people you can became a dark cloud lifter too.There is something about human encounters of the positive kind that bring light to darkened lives.A human act of caring helps the person to win half the battle of life.
Don't let the dark clouds hover for too long.Today the sky may be overcast.It may rain.Tomorrow,we can go back to a life of cheer.Welcome people who bring sunshine and see how the negative will flee away from you.What a wonderful vocation we have,to become a dark cloud lifters.

To become just that,we have to be spiritually inclined and do a lot of inner work because after all we communicate only what we already have inside us.That is how we will also become freer on the inside and learn to rise above the clouds.Like the aeroplane that must fly above the clouds,we will bring the gift of hope to many who have yet to learn to fly above the clouds.
