Relishing in the Duality of Life

In my younger days I was always chasing that feel good, fun part of life and when something not so good stopped me in my tracks I really sunk into that low feeling. The "why me?" and sadness and anger would set in and the envy and hostility towards others who seemed to live the perfect life always on top of the world. In my years of studies, readings, therapy, and coaching I've realized that everyone experiences highs and lows and that is the duality in life. Duality is such a blessing and I love that the low points in life are such teachable moments. In retrospect, I find just as much satisfaction now in those moments as I due the high points. When there is a tough situation I always ask "what is this moment trying to teach me or what can I learn from this?" or "how can I look at this moment from a different perspective?" There is so much healing and learning that can be found even if those tough moments. Sometimes, when I am in the middle of a tough situation and in my weight in tears or anger I start to laugh and thank the universe for the lesson. Now In the case of the bring you to your knees moments of heartbreak or loss I focus at coming at myself and others with even more love and compassion. What are your thoughts on duality and what do you do in the those challenging life moments?
