An introvert and an extrovert walk into a bar, or bedroom...

The extrovert can not shut up. The introvert just wants silence.

You would think that this type of relationship could not possibly work out, but the law of opposites makes it ideal. Ideal if each side acknowledges and respects the needs of the other, while honoring their own.

The introvert and the extrovert are both parts of you. Both need to be acknowledged. Opposites within are as necessary as those we experience outside ourselves.

Just as the dark night sky allows stars to brightly shine through, compassionately acknowledging your inner darkness (such as anger) allows your inner light (such as forgiveness) to shine through.

Opposites Attract! But just what will acknowledging and honoring your internal opposites attract into your life?

Your body is a bridge that carries you from your inner life to the outer world. This suggests that your pain (physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual) has something to say to how you perceive your life.

It is offering you a place to explore change. As I've often said, and experienced, nothing changes if nothing changes.

Name your pain. Is it physical, emotional, psychological, or spiritual? Do you want to experience a shift in how you experience this pain in your life?
