Positive vs. Negative


Some of us are adamant about only speaking about, admitting to, and reflecting on the positive. Affirmations are trendy! The Power of Positive Thinking, the Law of Attraction. We shun any negative feelings and words, afraid to jinx ourselves. But what about this: There is no positive vs. negative. It’s not about good vs. evil, black hat or white. It just is what it is!

A battery has a positive end and a negative end. Is the negative end to be shunned, ignored; should we pretend it doesn’t even exist? No, that would be silly, because the battery would offer no power without its negative charge. The negative end of the battery is not a bad guy!

So instead of shying away from certain words or thoughts that reflect a scenario you’d like to avoid, turn the bright light of day on them, expose them, and I bet you’ll find that 1) They are not as awful as you suspected, and 2) acknowledging these things allows you to release them. You cannot let something go if you’ve stuffed it into a lead box and dropped it to the bottom of your personal ocean. You need to look every thing, every aspect, then take what feels right and let the other stuff float away.

Claim your power by accepting both ends of your battery. Find your charge, your energy, your life force by choosing aspects, thoughts and words that you intuit will bring you closer to your dharma, your life’s purpose. You won’t get far with only half a battery!
