Our Lives Are Similar To Magnets

By Evan Sanders


Being positive every single day isn't a reality.

Being positive all of the time isn't realistic because life is incredibly balanced. Life gives us a dose of negative to really help us appreciate the positives.

Life is wonderfully balanced. So to be truly positive you really have to experience serious negatives as well. That's simply the way in which the world works. As Carl Jung once said, "The brighter the light the darker the shadow." I think that really applies here as well.

Throughout my life and on the journey of all of this personal discovery, I have discovered what it truly means to be out in this world to help other people create lives that they can be passionate about and proud of.

For years and years I've been writing down the stories of my life and putting them out there for the world to see so maybe someone would resonate with something that I've gone through and not have to suffer through the same type of event. These stories don't always start off positive, but they can certainly end on a more lighthearted note.

I have really dark moments and days at times. In fact, the more I love with everything I have, the more I feel pain, hurt, loss, and everything else that can make your hands tremble when it comes around. I feel those things now more than I ever have before. The softening of a cold heart so many years ago has exposed it to be naked, exposed, and gives it the capability to feel everything intensely.

We can all find some light in the darkness. We can all try to bring a positive outlook into our lives even though we are going through very dark times. Some days are going to be a lot harder than others and you are going to feel like you can hardly breathe. Keep going. Keep trying.

When you can take a negative situation in your life and shed light on it you truly can create something that can inspire the masses. Everyone really is struggling when it comes down to it. Everyone is suffering. But if you can try your best to see the best in everything you will be more than ok.

I struggle hard. And with that, I love hard.
