Double blessings

Every positive thing in your life represents a single unique blessing. Every negative thing in your life has the opportunity to become a double blessing.

For when you turn a negative into a positive, you gain twice. You are no longer burdened with the negative situation, and in addition to that you are strengthened by a new positive force.

Heal a strained relationship and not only do you lose an enemy, you also gain a friend. Turn a weakness into a strength, and not only are you no longer held back by the weakness, you are pushed forward by the strength.

Every negative situation carries its own energy. When you turn that energy around, the effort involved brings a double reward.

The weaknesses, liabilities, nuisances and troubles are no cause for despair. They are assets, conveniences, joys and riches waiting to be manifested through your efforts.

Don’t seek to merely get rid of the negative things in your life. Instead, transform their energy into something of real positive value.

— Ralph Marston
