Positive vs Negative vs ???

Hi Guys,

Just dabbling down my thoughts for the day and thought I’d let you in on a little realization I've come into. Delving deep into the personal development world and reading many books and speaking with people I seem to have stumbled onto more of an effective approach to controlling my thoughts and hopefully you can use this as well to your own benefit. 

It seems that there is a battle going on inside of our minds, especially now that we are aware how powerful our thoughts are in manifesting our reality. This battle tends to be a positive vs. negative approach to things. Which in actuality seems to be a losing battle on both ends. For so long I was on the rave that positive thinking alone is the key and one must abolish all negative thoughts and traits that a person may have in order to attract all the things you want in life.

Funnily enough I would punish myself for every negative thought I would come across in my head. And that punishment lead to criticizing myself and spiraling down and down into the depths of negativity. What I observed was that, when I was thinking positively and believing what I believed everything around me wouldn't change. Ultimately I found myself always passing through the positive and negative frame of mind.
Listening to Dr. John Demartini speak live, he brought up an amazing point. A positive mindset only and a negative mindset only are imbalanced perspectives and ultimately lead to suffering. Wow that flipped the script for me…so I decided to delve deeper. If I’m thinking positively yet I see someone thinking negatively and going into negative solutions I would tend to judge which is ultimately a negative belief.

Here’s the kicker! I bypassed all of that, immediately when I realized that everyone has both positive and negative traits. No matter who they are or what they do If I can see that present in another it must mean it’s present in me. So how can I use that to my benefit and the benefit of others? Simple, I found that appreciating people for all there faults and all their blessings eliminated the constant fluctuations and self-loathing.

So it must be more profound than that, what if I applied it to goal setting? Voila, I know for a fact that I have my dreams (blessings) but there will also be some hard times (faults) however, if I’m grateful for both, good and bad then ultimately I know I’m present in the moment there is nothing to be missed, and I’m ready for whatever comes.

With a mindset of gratitude and love for both positive and negative, I have found that it is the true master key to living a free and miracle filled life!

To your success,
Cole
