Why Does the Extraordinary Happen Less Often Than the Ordinary?
In the past, when thinking about the Law of Attraction, I have thought of contrast as being shadow, the difficult times that wake us up and push us into change. But, now I realize that I was forgetting the other side of what contrast is, the light. In my meditation time, as I sit outside in warm (almost hot) piercingly bright sunlight, with a gigantic dark thundercloud whirling overhead, I see how beautiful that contrast is.
How could I be so fully in the light and the shadow at the same time? And yet, I AM. Sunlight is beautiful. Thunder clouds are beautiful. But experienceing both so intensely at once is magical, almost unbelievable. My appreciation in this moment of having both is far beyond what it would be with either/or. That is the beauty of contrast. It takes us beyond the usual and the ordinary to the extraordinary.
Yes, it seems like the extraordinary happens far less often than the ordinary. Why is that? Could it all depend upon our perception in the moment or on our human habit of only perceiving one end of the extreme or the other rather than both at once?
Today I look for the breathtakingly beautiful contrast at both ends of the spectrum, that EVERY moment will be extraordinarily beyond what I’ve seen before. From the full equation of all that contrast is from one end to the other, the new is born, the fresh, the unknown, the mystery, the more, the extraordinary.
