this will genuinely change your life..

Happy Thursday. I love Thursdays. Idk why, just love them.

I do have something important to tell you today. (believe it or not)

This is a long one so strap in bucko..

Imagine this:

It’s 2020, 7:25 AM on a foggy, mid-May, Monday morning.

You oversleep your alarm and now you have to hop on zoom for chemistry class with major bed head, since you can’t just wear your hood up or you’ll be a modern day nazi.

You’re teacher asks you why your late, as if she can’t already tell you overslept.

Then she asks you to submit your chapter review packet from the weekend.

The chapter review you simply just didn’t do.

But you need this assignment to pass sophomore year….

Your heart starts beating fast, you start to break a little sweat, the instant regret of drinking natty light all weekend starts to sink in..

You feel overwhelmed and anxious and your mind starts racing about every other class you forgot to do stupid assignments for..

The tension builds in your neck and shoulders.. and..

You get the point.

Now imagine this instead:

It’s now summer 2020, you rub your to the sound of birds chirping.

(it’s literally noon..)

Your 16th birthday was last week, you’re dating your crush but she’s on a family vacation.

You quite literally have nothing to do, so you lay in bed all day.

The a/c is hitting just right, you’re simply just at peace.

Not a fucking care in the world, just chilling, clear, & present in the moment.

Sick feeling, right?

Now what if I told you that the stress in the first scenario & the relaxation in the second scenario…

..ARE THE SAME EXACT THING.

They are not two different states, but rather different degrees of the same state.

Now before I go on a manic rant i’m going to preface this by explaining the Principle of Polarity & where it comes from.

It’s one of the 7 principles in a book known as The Kybalion, it’s a book of ancient, medieval, Hermetic teachings. (go read or watch this video)

The Principle of Polarity states that everything has two poles, and opposites are actually the same thing, differing only in degree.

For example:

• Love & Hate are the same coin, only different sides & varied intensity

• Hot & Cold on a thermometer, they are varied degrees, not separate entities

• Health & Illness, they are both a degree of bodily & mental feeling, not totally different states.

• Confidence & Self Doubt, are on the same spectrum, again, only varied intensity of the same entity.

Ok and why is this important mr. internet cowboy?

I want you to understand that what seem like opposing conditions are actually connected and can be transformed through conscious effort and understanding.

By recognizing that all of these are a spectrum..

..You can simply work to shift our position on it

Which will ultimately allow you to navigate all of the challenges of life a little bit easier.

Hope you guys liked this one.
