Live at 100% of your potential
Ever since we came into this world as a being in form, a human being, our focus has been on who we appear to be, as seen with our eyes; and that has been reinforced by our upbringing, by what we are told to focus on in order to have a successful and happy life as a human being, and for a while it works!
It works because we need to get to know this world and how it operates, since we have landed here and it operates very differently from the world we came from, a spiritual world. So for the first part of our lives we are developing all the qualities we need to not only survive, but thrive here; while we have been rejecting all the qualities that seemed to get us a painful result, which we call laziness, selfishness, anger, greediness, arrogance.
We don’t see that laziness is an ability to rest when we need to; selfishness is to take really good care of ourselves; anger translates into our ability to stand up for ourselves, greediness is opening up to receiving all the good that we deserve; arrogance is truly and humbly knowing who we really are beyond our body and personality.
We were never taught that in Reality, where we came from, there is no feeling or quality that is bad; everything is one energy of goodness. We appeared in a world of duality, where every quality is fragmented on a sliding scale, a spectrum of duality, which has two polarities: negative and positive, which is not good/bad, even if we have called it that.
In order for things to work well for us in this world, we must accept both the positive and negative polarities to co-exist within ourselves to become the whole being that we were before we came into this world; and since childhood, we have been rejecting what we considered “bad” and developing all the opposite qualities, we considered “good”. The problem with that is, we are only operating at 50% of our true potential.
Just as a battery will only work to give you its power when it has both the negative and positive polarities integrated, just so you must have your negative and positive polarities integrated. No negative polarity means no power.
Now our work is to recognize the service those so-called negative aspects of you have always been giving you; if they were “bad” would they have been giving you their gifts all those years, when you were disregarding them disrespecting them, locking them up in the basement out of sight, so no one would see them? Finding what those gifts are is our next task.
It’s time to recognize that the lazy part of you has motivated you to really get things done, be resolute in your ambition to make something of yourself; that the selfish aspect has enabled you to (sometimes) say YES to what you actually wanted; that all your power resides in the recognition of your angry self as a valuable part of you.
Your life will be taken to a whole new level when you have integrated all those aspects that so far, you have been judging and trying not to be. It doesn’t mean you will become them, but you will be accessing their gifts to have 100% of your true potential working in your life. Isn’t that something we all want?
