There's a downward force to the universe

Something that has to be acknowledged is the fact that there is a downward pull to the universe. This means that we are always more prone to darkness, having negative feelings and emotions, being pessimistic rather than being in the positive limelight.

Our general tendency is to feel negative when an event occurs. Why?

Based on my readings, I have come with a few different reasons, but similar in nature as to why we are more inclined to being down than up.


  1. Nos. Ever since we're born, we're told NO. No to various things as we are learning, so that we don't make mistakes or be an embarrassment. These Nos are constantly put on our faces and we can't help but feel intimidated- losing that inner child, who is playful, an adventurer and filled with life.
  2. Sin. In this world, there is always a balance- good/bad, heaven/hell, saint/sinner. Sin is always there, waiting for the right moment to strike in. It's been there since the creation of the Earth and we have to be aware. Be watchful. If not, it simply takes over.
  3. The pain of the past. If we go back into the past, centuries ago, there has been massive wars, destructions and genocides. This pain, the losses and the energy blocks have been carried through generations and is still present.
  4. Stories. There are so many stories made up, by ourselves and by others. We are often irrational and quick to judge. Most stories we tell ourselves are based on fear, past experiences. Fear of not being enough, fear of rejection, fear of not making it. We are often led to compare and judge our circumstances. We feel insecure when things are not going the way it supposed to go by society's standards. We fail to simply be us.
  5. Protection. There is an innate feeling to protect ourselves. We don't want to be hurt or feel pain. So we keep protecting ourselves. In this case, we rather think of the worse case scenarios to prepare us for the ultimate pain or prepare ourselves for the eventually. Our protective mechanism has no idea of how to differentiate between real danger or not. 
So please remember that we always have a tendency to be negative or have a negative outlook on the future. Once you do, you are able to choose how to react. You cannot really control your feelings and emotions because of the reasons mentioned above, but we have the ability to accept those and overcome them. If we are open, we become aware of all the power within us. We free ourselves and rise above.

Do what you can

Do what you can and do it with great joy. There's nothing better in life than being appreciative and full of life. No matter what happened, what life throws at you, unexpected circumstances, be always grateful. With this attitude, you are able to tolerate anything. Joy brings happiness. Do what you can every day. Don't wait for the perfect time because it doesn't exist. By living in the future, you allow fear to set in (the what ifs). By doing, you release the fear. You tapped into the unconscious mind that tells you that you can't. Do what you can to the best of your ability. There's no greater reward than the sense of achievement. This is gain by giving everything your best, from simple to difficult tasks. Do what you can with what you have. We often fail to appreciate what we already own. We all are rich with beautiful things. When we take a moment to reflect, we realise we have all that we need. Do what you can because you can. Doubt your doubt. Challeng...

Developing Daily Habits

I was made aware of this concept whilst I was reading the book 'The Slight Edge' by Jeff Olson. We have the ability to choose what we want to do with our lives. The distinction between those people who are successful- not referring to financial gain- and those who are unsuccessful comes down to habits. What is it you are making every day that is bringing you forward towards achieving your dreams/ goals. What is it you are doing that is moving you away from your dreams? Successful people do what unsuccessful people don't do. They are committed to self-development, growing, doing what it takes every single day- the mundane actions. Take for example, reading 10 pages a day compounded over time leads to a great deal of pages read. You don't have to start big, but create a momentum. Daily repetitive actions over time lead to accumulation of wealth. The problem here is that not many of us are willing to do those actions every day. We are quick to sink to old habits, we a...

Positive Affirmations

I have always been a great affirmer of positive reinforcements. Positive affirmations bring light in our life. Our thoughts have a tendency to be negative. How many times do you feel like you are being thrown over the edge? We are quick to succumb to doubt, anger, fear.  Deep inside, we are strong, fearless and confident human beings. However, all these positive innate qualities are buried as we grow up, due to criticism, embarrassment and judgement. Our family has expectations from us, everybody seems to know what's best for you. At a young age, it doesn't really matter. Our mind is not fully developed, so we take in everything, without really questioning its significance. Truth is we don't know the impact until much later. Indirectly, we let our inner desires fade away in the process; we don't know any better. We do what we must, based on society's beliefs of the definition of success. Unfortunately, when we don't follow our heart comes a deep sense of un...
