The Purposefulness Behind Calamities

There exists no such thing as calamity. Flash back in to your life’s sequence of events. What looked like calamity to you at some point propelled you to reach a particular stage, or grasp some learning. Calamities or “strong events” that stir you up are “designed” to stir you up from stubborn resistance and slumber, and to make you acknowledge that you need a new take or turn in life. Be it loss of a loved one, drowning of your investments in the markets, or having to relocate to a different place - it is all purposely placed in the odyssey of your life. So when “calamity” falls on you, keenly observe what purpose it may possibly have had, where it is taking you, and what is happening inside you due to the event. Also note that it may not have come unannounced and all of a sudden. Telltale events signaling its arrival often occur but you may not be intuitively tuned to receive their message. However, trust that out of it you will emerge in to something you will appreciate. Every situation is carefully levied upon you. You are always taken care of.

First Fill Your Cuppa

Building a beautiful relationship may sometimes require a lot of effort. Here you are stepping in to another person’ shoes, resolving differences using a lot of communication, and making sure that any free, tattered ends are secured in tight, well-knit knots. While the effort may be really worth it because you immensely love the other person, the process may leave you drained. It is natural. Any activity with a significant amount of work takes up your energy.

When you are drained out, you can not be yourself. When you can not be yourself, how can you bring yourself to the relationship? This is the time that you fill your own cuppa. Meditate, read, play, work, or simply sit with her, holding hands and watching a movie. Just give enough time till the cuppa is filled up again. And that is the time to again go back to each other and fill each other’s cuppa. This will make you bring even more creativity to your most desirable relationship because you are a renewed self now.

The purpose of a relationship is spiritual guidance, to make you return to your Self; to make you see you in your original light. It is in the process of relating to the other that you return to the source - and that is you.
