Contrast in our lives causes us to ask what me want. If we are sick, we want more wellness. If we are broke, we want more money. If our relationships end, we want a better relationship. And so on, and so on. And when we hit such a contrast in our lives, generally speaking, it feels bad. On the emotional scale we end up in the bottom half and we start to justify the way we feel with arguments related to what we do not want. And in this process we put more attention to what do not want resulting in more dissapointment and we glue ourselves to feeling bad.
But does it have to be this way? Do we always have to feel bad when we hit a contrasting moment in life? No, we don’t. You have always the choice of diving into the black hole of negative emotions or trying to see positive sides of the contrast and try to feel a little bit better. In other words, try to walk up the emotional ladder. Do it step-by-step, as you can not make a big jump between emotions. The frequenties are too far apart. So, if you feel jealousy look for the best feeling you can get in the moment, and you might turn angry, which is a more positive emotion. Then again, find a little better feeling and you might feel doubt or dissapointment. And from that point you try to move your way to hope and optimism. From that position you focus more on the things you want, then the things you do not want. You will be in more alignment with who you really are – source energy and a brilliant creator – and manifestations of what you want will be presented to you.
So, the next time you hit a contrasting moment in life, keep in mind that you have a choice. Do you want get exhausted paddling upstream with negative emotions, or do you choose to continue downstream enjoying the great opportunities the universe presents to you as a result of you asking and aligning with the true Self.
