Before writing this post I’d dreamt about it…so I knew it was time to let you all in one something that has changed how I look at my life. My life will always be 50% positive and 50% negative emotionally. This means that no matter how many milestones I reach or what I have in my life there will always be a mix of negative and positive emotions.
We live in a world that has made us believe that we should be happy most, in not all of the time. If we are not happy all of the time, there are plenty of “things” out there we can purchase, consume, distract ourselves with in order to be happy.
I believed this lie of needing to be happy most of the time. I have been into personal development for many years. And thought, if I remain a positive person, than I should always experience positivity in my life. The moments I wouldn’t feel positive about something, I thought something was wrong with ME. But the reality is that life will always be 50/50.
How do I know that? Because it is.
The funny thing is, as soon as I understood that life will always be a mix of positive and negative emotion, my life improved. I stopped trying to control the world around me, I let myself feel the “bad feelings” and I truly started having the human experience I was meant to.
When we believe that we should always be happy, we are miserable when we feel anything but. Once we know that some emotions are gonna feel like shit, and others will be phenomenal, we sort of prepare ourselves to feel anything life brings. And if you are willing to feel any emotion life presents to you, you’ve got the world in your hands.
