Hi babe you look beautiful tonight.
Hello handsome man. You look wonderful as well.
Hmm...
What would it be like if you could have a relationship like this with your emotions?
It's actually possible.
Of course you're going to have fights from time to time...but it's possible to have a very healthy relationship with your emotions.
I'm not going to tell you about happy emotions today. Not a chance.
I'm going to talk about the dark pit in each of us that harbors those deep dark emotions we hate talking about.
Anger. Suffering. Depression. Anxiety. Jealousy.
And a lot of pain.
We all have access to these emotions. The only difference between each of us is that they are brought out in many different ways. For some it could be heartbreak. For others it could be the loss of a job.
None of us are free from these emotions. We all experience them.
That's what I really want to talk about today.
Carl Jung, the famous psychologist once said, "The brighter the light the darker the shadow."
Following that logic, the more you tap into the "light" side of you the more access you also have to the darkness. Because as you stretch one way, you stretch the other way as well. That fact, right there, scares the hell out of most people.
But as we truly commit to living as a human being, to experiencing everything that the world has to offer, we allow our darkness and our light to be with one another without there being anything wrong with it.
There's a great skill to develop here...
Use every single shade of life to create something beautiful with the experience of living.
In the darker times of our lives, we must use those colors to express and share our experience as it is. We cannot hide from the shadows. Rather, we must use those shadows to our advantage.
Create as much as you can with these times.
Express those energies and put them out there vulnerably for yourself (and maybe the world) to see. Do not trap them inside of you and let them create chaos inside your soul for too long.
Never stuff down your feelings and pretend to be something that you're not.
Create something beautiful on the canvas of your life. Create your best self using the "worst."
Make something beautiful with the dark and the light.
