Since the dawn of life, humans have been fascinated with the difference within the human species. Sadly, human history is heavily painted with one group being discriminated by another. This has lead to the external social focus that you are either one or the other; you must choose now to succeed in life... red or blue, whose side you are on?

A Dichotomy is defined as a division into two parts or classifications, especially when they are sharply distinguished or opposed. The dilemma of dichotomy is it totally disregards individuality and the spectrum of beautiful colour that individuality can paint onto the world we live in. Instead, humans are mistreated and mishandled into the “grey box they fit into” or worse yet the “box they should fit into”!

Which box do you fit into:

• Black or white?
• Old or young?
• Rich or poor?
• Disable or able?
• Male or female?
• Tall or short?
• National or Expat?
• Zulu or Xhosa?
• Ego or innate?
• Fat or thin?
• Theistic or atheistic?
• Straight or gay?
• Introverted or extroverted?
• Creative or Analytical?
• Sad or Happy?
• English or Afrikaans?
• Intuitive or sensing?
• Thinker or feeler?
• Perceptive or Judgemental?
• Do you focused on your past or your future?
• Genetically ruined or developmentally challenged?
• Is there more or is this finished?

In my opinion, the most successful people in the world are the ones who deeply understand the shades of who and what they are. In their consciousness of now they find their alignment of thoughts, feelings and actions. They balance out the two sides of the dichotomy and find their path forward. Their choices, decisions and actions flow with ease from one moment to the next ready for their next flash of consciousness. This is a super state of dynamic adaptation; you now have the ability to paint your rainbow colours on to the world around you rather than the world painting on you.

Get your colours ready!
