66 – Opposites

1 Comment »

It’s literally impossible to build a staircase that goes only up. Or only down.
It is impossible to construct a street that goes only one way.
Oh, you can attach a sign that says one-way travel, but it itself allows both ways.

So it is with absolutely everything!
How do you know this  / is ‘uphill’ unless you understand it’s also ‘downhill’.
Here, let me take away the ‘uphill’ part: ___ 
Oops! I’ve also taken away downhill at-the-same-time.

The ONLY way we can understand something is by also understanding/seeing its opposite.

So it is with you and your current success / failure.
You can not know success or failure unless you also understand its opposite.
To know you’re failing is to know what success is and to see you’re not doing that.
(To know success is to know failure and see you’re not doing that!)

The end result is you already know what to do to succeed in every case you can see you’re a failure.
Otherwise you would not be able to identify that you’re a failure. Because failure as compared to what! It’s only uphill or downhill as compared to its opposite.

When faced with failure, remember you already know exactly what to do to succeed and it is in you. Let answers come to you from your memory of what you already know the opposite is.
