The Upside of Down
Life is full of illusions. The faster we can embrace this truth, the faster we can appreciate the irony...as well as our awareness.
Scholars smarter than I have determined the universe to be in perfect balance…ALWAYS. There is no down without an up. No low without a high. No yin without a yang.?
By their definition, there is no one-sided anything. Paraphrasing Newton, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
When others are down, I hear people say, “Stay positive.”
Yet, if you seek nothing but positives, you may be blind to the correlating negatives that co-exist in the background. In plain English, that means life won’t be a box of chocolates all day every day.
On the other hand, just because you’re feeling down, doesn’t mean there’s no upside. The upside of down is always there…if you choose to perceive it.?
Perception is Reality
You see the world one way. That’s the way things are according to you. That’s your reality.
Is it possible things aren’t as they seem? The answer is up to you.?
Consider the optical illusion. I love them as they play with our interpretation of reality–our perceptions. We laugh when we see how we have seen things one way and then another reality appears.
My suggestion to you is to remain open to the possibility of seeing things in new ways. Get out of the stuck state that refuses to believe any differently than you have.
Become aware of the upside of down so you can get out of your rut and embrace both sides.?
When your awareness grows, so do you.?
