Opposites which ones are yours?

I can’t think of one thing that doesn’t have its opposite. Love, hate, black, white, rich, poor and so the list goes on.

Then there’s negative and positive.

You can see all the things that you don’t do but should, or you can see your great qualities and where you really shine.

You can believe that you are who you are and that you’re a passenger in life, or you can acknowledge that you were given freewill and that you can choose who you are and how you live moment to moment.

You can doubt yourself, your choices, that you are entitled to a happy successful life, or you can have faith that you will do what is right for you and that it will all work out exactly as it needs to.

You can spend time counting the losses or you can count the blessings.

You see all that stops you, holds you back from living the life that you want, being the person that you would like to be, alternatively, you can be free to see the opportunities that are in front of you and act upon them.

You can lie to and deceive yourself that your life, your relationship, your job is great when really there’s a void inside you, or you can be truthful and honest and take steps toward a life, a relationship, a career that fills you up.

You can feel your powerlessness and inability to make a difference in your life, the lives of others, the world, or you can focus on your strengths and abilities that will enable you to make changes no matter how small and know that at least you have made a difference for you, your loved ones and that one difference will affect the world.

You can hate that others have more than you and that you deserve more than this or you can feel joy about your life and all that it is and the knowing that there is so much more out there if you want it.

You can see the darkness and misery in your life, the world, you can see war and evil. Or you can find a reason to laugh at a situation and find that the world is really a great place full of people that live abundant and happy lives and that they are more loving and giving with each other than they are vengeful and angry. Light is always there if you want to see it.

Life always provides both options along with the freewill to choose at any given moment whether you see negative or positive.

You too are made up of all these opposites. You choose which ones you build upon based upon your beliefs and your life experiences. You are not a puppet for some force outside of yourself that creates good or bad experiences, people or countries these are all choices that have been taken, individually or collectively, consciously or unconsciously. The good news is that the only thing that stands between you and the life you dream about (if you choose to let yourself dream that is) is your acknowledgement that life is and always has been yours to see and create as you choose.

Have a good one
