Having a bad day? Feeling unsure if you will ever reach your goals?

9 replies
Just thought I'd share something from my new course. This is something that I just don't want to keep inside a book, and that I feel all will be lifted by keeping in the back of their minds. However, as this is a short chapter located at the end of the course there is obviously a build up to it that you don't get. But still, I think and hope it can affect "your vision" on things.

So, here it is:

....

The second thought is something you WILL experience in the next few hours, days or weeks. It is inevitable, and just a part of human nature. But you still need to know what it is, how and why it occurs.

The second thought is the complete opposite of what you are feeling right now.

That means that if you are feeling empowered and able to make your desires into reality right now, you will feel hopeless and unable for at least a short moment sometime soon. This is what the Chinese call Yin & Yang.

Now, I don't know how familiar you are with that concept, but I guess most of you have seen the symbol on the right side (note: I have a picture of the yin&yang sign there) at least once in their life.

Yin & Yang is the theory or belief that two opposites depend upon each other for them both to exist. War and peace is a good example. What the theory is telling us here is that for peace to exist, there also has to exist war. Otherwise, there would not be a need for calling something peace at all. Peace would in that case fill or be the whole circle - or what we call the whole reality of our conscious. If that was the case however, it would not require a name or be connected to a certain status of living at all - simply because it would already be all that is.

In other words, we are alive because we die. We feel poor because there exist richness in this world.

...and we need to experience bad feelings to recognize good feeling properly.

Plus vice versa.

In our reality there can't exist 100% good. It is simply beyond the corners of our logic. If that was the case however, we would not feel hope, bliss, happiness or success. So it is rather because of the opposites that they are having such a powerful effect on us. You will and NEED to experience the second thoughts once in a while. It is how your mind learns to separate good from bad. Or Yin from Yang. When you start living your passion however, they will come rarer and rarer... and rarer...

But they will come to you, once in a while...

And when they do, do not let them bring you down. There's really no point in that at all. Just acknowledge that they are there because you have created an opportunity for something much greater than what you currently have or because you already have succeeded in something very important in your life. The second thoughts are only there to let you know of the opposite, and either empower your good feelings or make them possible to experience at all.

When they arrive.

Simply respond: "Thank you". And let them be what they are...

    Great thought! Keep being positive and don't allow such bad feeling to waste your time and that may ruin your mindset of reaching your goals.

      Thanks for the positive feedback, really appreciate it

      I would however change that to:

      Keep being positive and keep focus on the desired destination that you are walking towards, allow and accept bad feelings because they are the reason that you are walking at all.

      The point is: The only way to evolve is to desire change or something better. Or because you do not want to lose the beautiful things you already have (read: fear - negative emotion). So.. why would anyone try to chase away their motivation?

      Accept them because they are the emotions that lift you and expands your mind. I mean, why would we be into internet marketing if it didn't exist 9/5 jobs?

      Bad feelings are there to make you want to do something about it, good feelings are there to be enjoyed (and desired). You are born in between, and your ACTIONS defines how you end up filling YOUR circle.

    It's great that you acknowledge this phenomenon in your book, because it happens to all of us. There is no way for anyone to feel 100% positive about everything all the time, and this is just part of human nature. By acknowledging it and being accepting of it, we'll deal with it far better than being ashamed and guilty whenever such thoughts run through our minds.

    when I was young I am unfortunate to study and I am also always a hard time just looking for job, you are fortunate. And that is very fitted to you because you are open minded and positive thinker.
    You must face all the bad day you will had, be more patient and optimistic.

    Thank you for the post.

    I believe it's about contrasts - living contrasts is cool, you always feel something new and this it adds those pleasant vibes to you life.

    The trick is to turn every existing negative element into something its antithesis.

    That way, weaknesses are strengths, strengths are strengths, failures are successes, successes are success, such that everything you experience are strengths and success.

      Fantastic.

      Then you know exactly what your soul desires. You do "that thing", and you get rewarded. You don´t, and you get asked why.

      I think the things that is bigger than our conscious is speaking to us in a language much more simple than we think

      Go for it! You won´t regret it.

      basically, you make sense, my highs are incredibly intense, and so are my lows.
