Controlling Your Dark Side

We are facing difficult times and if the media is correct about such things as "debt ceilings" and "deficits" and "debt", it is about to get more difficult.You are likely to become fearful and to attempt to control everything to your specifications of safety and security. All well and good, until.....

The more afraid  you become, the more likely that you might attempt to take short cuts. Our worst behaviors are generally a reflection of either our fear or our arrogance (both symptoms of our "dark side")

You may rationalize your behavior (did you really think the person fighting for property or children in a nasty divorce was justified?) Frankly, there is no justification for doing the wrong thing because someone else is doing something. However, there is a suitable logic to help  you restrain yourself from acting on your "bad" impulses.

It does not work! There is a UNIVERSAL LAW that overrides all others. It is the Law of Cause and Effect. This law is about energy and it is similar to the law of physics that says "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". Whatever you put out, will come back to you.


Do not become invested in judging the other person's behavior as a reason for adapting your own. Always do the "RIGHT" thing and trust that you will survive and thrive. It may seem more expedient in the moment to respond to the demands on you to protect your own position, but you do KNOW the difference between right and wrong.

Make your own study if you do not believe. Sometimes the bad guys do get ahead and get the best of you in the short term. But please, watch what happens over time, especially to yourself. Generally you will find that even your wins are tempered by their own dark side.
