CYCLES

Therefor, there is as much value in the down cycles as in the up cycles. It is folly to try to sustain positivity; this deprives us of the opportunity to appreciate the insights, emotions, energy and full experience of all that life offers us. Inevitably, with a movement like that of ocean waves, positive will follow negative, which will turn into positive. But our assessment of positive and negative simply reflects our expectations. What seemed positive might later seem negative, and vice-versa, so eventually one stops evaluating life by such personal judgments and sees the positive in the negative and the negative in the positive. This is the beginning of a life in harmony. The way to arrive at that harmony is to appreciate all, including disappointment, loss, failure and illness, all as part of the preparation needed to fulfill the purpose of your life. BAIR
