Radical: CONTRAST
A focus on the need for contrast in your life helps you fully harness your potential. A 60-hour work week will eventually lead to burnout. Down-time offers rejuvenation and harmony within.
“There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast” ~Charles Dickens
The Tension Between Inner and Outer Self
The universe responds to clarity.
When you use creative expression in honor of your gifts, you are magnifying your voice so that you can be seen, heard, and valued. It’s the gas that fills the passion tank so that your purpose-driven vehicle will navigate where you want to go in life.
As you develop and curate those sparks of ingenuity, they become a distinct signature that is yours alone. This is an anchor you can return to time and again for inspiration, grounding, and connection.
There is a loud and a quiet exchange in this dynamic. Yin and Yang. To enhance and amplify your talents, contrast is necessary. You need interaction and challenge just as much as you need quiet and contemplation. Subtlety tames the loudness to create balance. The juxtaposition is what optimizes your life.
One of the best ways to calibrate and equalize is to make time for yourself. We live in a world where we are plugged in and turned on nearly all of our waking hours. If we don’t take time to tap into our inner reserves, we burn out.
By allowing yourself intentional time to explore your deep well of rest, introspection, and reflection, equilibrium is restored.
