Placing Attention on the Eternal Candle Within
Friends,
At times when you may be feeling down, you may uplift yourself through finding the eternal candle within, which is represented by a sane thought, such as a positive desire to bring happiness to another.
In the midst of sorrow, confusion, or any state of mind that doesn't feel good, if you catch hold of just one positive thought and build it up, feeding it with the light of your attention, this makes it more magnetic to positive results.
If you feel down, you may try uplifting another. This may sound counter-intuitive, yet by giving love you are in fact proving that you had it all along to give; and this giving of love can be something as simple and easy as wishing thoughts of good fortune for another.
The Dalai Lama has given his life to this practice of beginning his day with a special meditation for the well-being of the world, offering his Life Energies to the promotion of peace. He loses nothing by doing this, but gains everything. In other words, he mostly lives in a state of joyous increase, where his positive influence attracts great attention and support from the universe.
Would you like to live your life with a greater sense of peace and positive influence? Who wouldn't?
