Everything in nature exists as a combination of opposites. Nothing exists in isolation.

When you know what is at play and apply the opposing forces wisely, you increase your chances of success.

Here are some examples of polarities at play in nature and in our lives:

Day and Night

Expansion and Contraction

Evaporation and Condensation

When things go fast, go slow

When crowds rush in one direction, move the other way

Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times – a popular saying

The dance of polarities is a natural principle. It comes as part of the package deal called life. When you become aware of it, you will see it at play in every dimension.

If you ignore it, it will bite you.

If you treat it like a friend, it will guide you.

And if you learn from it, it will open doors for you.
