When Opposites Attract… Fireworks Happen!

We
have heard the phrase: Opposites attract; however, what exactly does that mean?
Well, it can mean that the behaviour and attitude differences in others compels you to get closer to that which is foreign to you. It can also mean balancing an extreme trait or action such as having an introspective and quiet disposition and being attracted to someone who is expressive and talkative. We can also learn from someone who is unlike ourselves and our own limited experiences. And it might even mean *thinking* that the other person is opposite to you when in fact, they are quite like you (complementary) — for good or bad.
Opposites attract can be about:
* Curiosity
* Balancing
* Learning
* Judgement
During my years of professional reading I have found that we, as humans, think the world works in exactly the opposite way than it actually does. Similar to “Opposites Attract”, this thought (and the actions that follow) can cause a lot of unnecessary distress. We are instinctively attracted to exactly the opposite of what will truly give us peace and happiness.
Life is Backwards
This is because the world works in the exact opposite way than how many people think it does. Life is backwards. What’s hard for you is good; what’s easy for you is likely to cause problems. Opportunity is found in challenge. You are your own lottery ticket.
I believe one reason we get ourselves in life jams is because we are curious, want to learn, judge erroneously, and want to bring into our lives what we think is missing. I strongly believe many of us approach our desire to be happy in ways that don’t serve us.
