Everybody and everything has two “poles” — think good, bad, light, dark, or love and hate. Everything has an opposite. Everything is always in a dual, and this is what makes life interesting — to experience it all.
Have you ever moved back and forth between the good life has to offer and the absolute dread?
A part of me always wonders if dread is self inflicted. Did I bring this chaos into my own life? Did I allow for this? Was this experience subconsciously impressed? Or is this just what life is about? Do I need to experience the polarity in order to fully comprehend the extent of life’s deep and meaningful experiences.
A lot of the time, I often dive deep into the esoteric nature of life.
It seems that this is where I feel most alive and safest. This place of self expression, expansion and exploration. The place I feel vulnerable enough to feel, but also vulnerable enough to share. With you. With anyone who might come across my writing and find some sense of peace.
I don’t have all the answers, but what I do have is a keenness for evaluation. I am constantly exploring myself and the world around me, which results in this constant feedback loop between myself and my environment. This also means that I almost always find a strand of wisdom or realization in my quest for personal development.
I always feel it’s imperative to write as you feel. A slew of articles that exude self expression, honesty and truth. There’s no hiding. This is is. The epitome of rawness. And that’s that.
Today has felt like a pendulum. This back and forth between good and bad. Happy and sad. Pain and pleasure. Man, this life is a dichotomy of contrast, and it is very hard to appreciate the blend when you’re faced with the later.
I’m a believer that everything happens for a reason. Your external environment is a mirror in this reflective series called life. We experience as we are, and we experience as we become. A series of moments and lessons, all captured into the beautiful movie of you.
As you navigate the difficulties, the challenges, and the hurdles, there’s also the flip side of the coin; the beauty, luck and opportunity. Yet, when we are in the middle of greatness it feels like we almost take it for granted. And, if you’re anything like me, you tend to suffocate when things get a little rough. All the questions. All the doubt. All the worry and concern. All the thoughts.
But it gets us nowhere.
All I know that life is this balance between two poles. It is this beautiful relationship with polarity. There is no definitive point, only a movement along a line that is more of something than nothing, or more of nothing than something.
A wise man once said that “all of these so wildly different experiences that we have in life, are the rich tapestry of life itself” and I think he’s absolutely right.
