Do it

66 Opposites

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.

  1. George,
    It has been a long time, I am tickled to have stumbled upon this website and your mental doodles. It reminds me of how fortunate Rachel and I have been to have had the rare opportunity (at such a young age) to work and learn from you. Your patience, trust and confidence in us was priceless. Looking back and reflecting (10 years and strong successful business of our own) we learned more in 7 years than most people learn in a lifetime. Your confidence in our ability at that time was I am sure unheard of as probably still is. As much shit as we took I can now see how much you must of had to deal with.

    It was probably never said but, Thank-you. ( Don’t worry I thank myself much more lol ….not just any 2 twin 19 year olds would rise to the challenge)

  2. and ……… it explains the drama of the “Interrogator” (critical parent) and the “Intimidator” (rebellious child), as well as the “Aloof” (I’m out’a here) and the “Poor Me” (how badly I’ve been treated).
    Also how one can’t be a victim without being a villain. They are the same energy. So is the bully & the bullied, the arrogant and the humble, the greedy & the pleaser, the war-monger & the peace-maker, the terrorist & the freedom-fighter, the cynic & the fool.

    For me it also explains the ‘opposites attract’ idea we talked about a long time ago. The law of attraction is still at work because it is the same ENERGY in the opposite states. When we cease to be in conflict with ourselves we attract the ‘like’ that we really want.

    Not my original thoughts – came from reading James Redfield’s “The Celestine Prophecy” which explains ‘Control Dramas’ or how we compete with other people for our emotional energy.

    A bit deep for this time of the morning!
