Have you ever watched two magnets, and how they react to each other? I’m not scientist, but I guess that has something to do with positive and negative polarity. I do find it fascinating to watch however. How the magnets seem to dance and move on their own power when put in close proximity to another magnet. It’s as if some internal force is telling the magnet what to do.

I think we all have that internal force; a force that will attract us to some things and repel us from others. Our own positive and negative meter if you will. It is this internal force that we must all reconcile in order to be happy in life; it is our purpose.

Haven’t you ever caught yourself doing something that you just could not imagine yourself doing for very long, or wondering how people could live this way, or do this job for 20 years?! Like a magnet, you seem automatically repelled by it? On the contrary, have you ever been exposed to something that (as they say) draws you to it – like a magnet?

Self Actualization as described by Abraham Maslow is the highest level of psychological progression – it’s the top of his pyramid; his hierarchy of needs. I think that if we allow this inner force, our personal magnet to lead us, we will find Self Actualization – our purpose, our reason for living. How do you do that? Well, take a lesson from the magnet. The positive is what attracts… so if we are positive we will attract to us, and we must follow that which is positive to us. The negative repels, and we don’t need that. Be aware of your own positive and negative 'polarity'.

It is unusual how much energy we spend however, hanging on to the negative, trying to keep it close while the entire time there is a force within us pushing it away. You want your life to be easier? Don’t hang onto what your internal magnet is trying to push away!
