Law of Rhythm

The Law of Rhythm states that when you feel down, be grateful, knowing that, by law, there is an upswing coming. Plan an endless progression upward.

On pages 119-120 of "Hidden Treasures: Heaven's Astonishing Help With Your Money Matters," Leslie Householder says: "So, when you are down, expect to go up. When you are up, expect that one day your 'up' won't be enough to keep you happy and it will feel like a down. It's all good. Look forward to feeling better, but you don't have to force it to happen. Nature provides; it will happen all on its own. Calm down and refuse to worry about bad things that haven't happened, and which may never happen. "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalms 46:10), is good advice when you are on a 'down'."

This law has helped me in many ways. I used to stay in a "down" mood for days and weeks at a time. That is absolutely no fun at all. I wanted to be happy, but didn't know how. One way I have found this law to work for me is to notice the times that I start feeling down, and do something to pick myself up. I have found good books to read, good websites to go to, and good friends to associate with. I love knowing that I'm not a victim and I can make good choices to help my life go upward.

Is my life perfect? No, I still have times that I feel down, but that doesn't even last a day anymore. Now, with the Law of Relativity, I can compare how I feel when I'm "down" to how I want to feel and make better choices. One of my new favorite things to say is: "My old highs are my new lows and I plan to continue the cycle...oh, forever!"
