Imagine your palette has only one color—black. What could you paint? The darkness of night? The depth of an abyss? A black hole?
Even the simplest act of creation needs at least one more color. Add brown or gray, and you get shadows. But the most freedom comes from mixing black and white.
The strongest force is the synthesis of opposites. You need both extremes, even risking their clash. When polarities meet, something new is born.
And where are you in this process? You’re in-between, holding the center.
Now, imagine not just one dichotomy, but many. They surround you like seats on a carousel. You, the central axis, dynamically balancing them all.
What happens if an eagle despises its right wing? How far does a racer get if he bans left turns? What happens to nature if the world is drowned in eternal darkness?
Yet people do this all the time—choosing one side of a phenomenon and rejecting the other. No surprise that companies wither, people fall ill, and families break apart.
Animals don’t make this mistake—their instincts keep them balanced. But humans? Too intelligent to rely on instinct, yet too blind to maintain symmetry in life.
If something in your life or business feels off, ask yourself: Where and why is there a limp on one side?
And if you need an outside perspective, just ask. I’ll be happy to help.
Yours sincerely,
