So often in life we are focused on,
to the point of obsession, chemistry. We seek it, find it, postpone it, have
it, lack it, hold it too tight and run away from it. We watch it on TV, in
movies, listen to it on the radio and read about it in magazines and books. I
am not talking about chemistry a branch of physical science; I am speaking to
the magnetic attraction we seek in a partner. The official definition of
chemistry: “The complex emotional or psychological interaction between two
people.” “Sympathetic understanding; Rapport.”
It
may seem as though I am writing a small blog about attraction and
relationships, and while this is a very important aspect of life, I am posing
the idea of chemistry in a different, broader way. Do you have chemistry with
your life? Seems like a benign question at first, however with further
exploration it becomes immensely clarifying. So do you have chemistry with your
life? The answer to this question can lead us to discover the areas of our
lives that are stagnant and festering and the areas where we are profoundly
inspired and enchanted. It also leads us directly into my second question: How
do you want to feel? The answers to these two questions will become our
guideposts to creating a more fulfilling life, a life that we have chemistry
with.
