I Took My Emotions Out For A Dinner Date

By Evan Sanders


Hello darling. You look beautiful tonight.

Hello handsome. You're such a great man.

Hmm...

What if you could have this type of relationship with your emotions?

It's actually possible.

Of course you're going to have fights from time to time...but it's possible to have a very healthy relationship with your emotions.

I'm not going to talk to you today about happy fluttery emotions. Nope.

I'm going to speak straight from the heart and talk to you about those deep dark places in your soul that rumble around. The pit in each of us that is blacker than black.

Greed. Anger. Depression. Fear. Hate.

Pain.

We all have access to these emotions. The only difference between each of us is that they are brought out in many different ways. For some it could be heartbreak. For others it could be the loss of a job.

But we all have access to those emotions and they are incredibly powerful and possibly destructive if you don't know how to skillfully handle them.

That's what I'm about to teach you...

Carl Jung, the famous psychologist once said, "The brighter the light the darker the shadow."

If we really follow that logic, the more happiness we experience in this world the more access to sadness we also have. That fact right there scares most people to death.

But when we commit to going out in the world and actually living, to chasing our dreams and to being the best person we can truly be, we can allow our darkness and our light to coexist together without anything being wrong with it.

The skill to develop here is this...

Use all of the colors of your life, the dark ones and the light ones, to create something inspiring.

In our dark times, we must use those colors to express our more dangerous emotions that scare us. We have to put those paints on the canvas.

Create.

Express everything inside of you. Express the brilliant chaos in your soul.

Never stuff things down inside to avoid what's truly going on with your life.

Create something beautiful on the canvas of your life with every experience available to you.

Paint something beautiful on the canvas of your life with all of the colors available to you.
