EXPANSION

Contrast helps us know more clearly what it is that we want. It helps us define our personal preferences. First when you go after your preferred version of living life can you be satisfied. 

It is all about closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be. And you do so by stopping looking at what is and instead investing your energy in creating the life you want to live by giving your attention to what you want. 

Many times we feel stuck because we have a contrasting moment that helps us know what we don’t want, so we also know more clearly what we do want. 

But rather than giving our full attention to what we do want, we keep paying attention to what’s in front of us even when it’s not pleasing, which makes us feel stuck and unfulfilled. Because we know where we want to go but we are not going. 

The value of contrast is that it helps you launch a rocket of desire. It helps you know what you prefer. Once that preference has been identified, contrast has served its purpose. And it’s no longer of value to you to keep it as your object of attention. 

What would add value is if you could deliberately turn your attention to that which you now know that you prefer. Because what you focus on will grow and you will start seeing possibilities in moving closer to that version.
