As most of you already know, Yin and Yang is part of Chinese philosophy. It’s used to describe how polar or seemingly contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other in turn. Yes, you caught me. That bit was from Wikipedia.
In simple terms, it’s about duality – day and night, hot and cold, female and male, etc. For one to be true, the opposite must exist.
Looking at this from a different perspective, do you realise that we have our own version of Yin and Yang? That if we want something, we just might have to do the opposite?
Want all the time to do whatever you like? You need to give it up now to get it tomorrow.
Want to be comfortable in life? Do what’s uncomfortable now to get there.
Want to get? You’ve got to give.
In short, If you want the Yin, you’ve got to deal with the Yang to get the Yin. Sorry, couldn’t resist.
And maybe, this answers the question : If people want something, why do very few do what it takes to get there?
