Hello darling. You look beautiful tonight.
Thank you handsome. You're always such a gentlemen.
Hmm...
What if you could have a relationship like this with your emotions?
It's possible.
Now I'm not going to say that you aren't going to have fights from time to time, but what I am saying is that you can have a much healthier relationship with one another than you have right now.
I'm not going to talk to you today about all of these happy fluttery emotions in your life. Nope.
I'm going to speak straight from the heart and talk to you about those deep dark places in your soul that rumble around. The pit in each of us that is blacker than black.
Hate. Fear. Greed. Anxiety. Anger.
And lots 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.
But none of us are free from these emotions.
That's what I want to talk about today...
Carl Jung, the famous psychologist once said, "The brighter the light the darker the shadow."
If we really follow that logic, the more happiness we experience in this world the more access to sadness we also have. That fact right there scares most people to death.
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.
The skill to develop here is this...
Use all of the colors of your life, the dark ones and the light ones, to create something inspiring.
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.
Express the brilliant chaos in your soul and let the world see who you truly are.
Never stuff down your feelings and pretend to be something that you're not.
Create something beautiful on the canvas of your life with every experience available to you.
The dark. The light. Make something beautiful with both.
