Building Stability Within

Life is full of uncertainties, variables and transience. So much of the world is out of our control; so much is expansive and vast - yet we are deeply entwined and entangled in each others universes.

It is up to us to create a place of security and stability within - from which we can easily tap and hone into our power centres. By repetitively returning to ourselves and getting to know what drives us and sets our passions alight, we can create a space of stability, strength and truth on who we truly are.

Only we can locate that knowledge and gain that insight. This comes from a practice of disciplined, repetitive and focused intention. By accepting our limits, confronting our pain and noticing our weaknesses, we can identify our triggers, isolate them and take ownership and accountability for our lives. In this process of healing, we work through challenges, past traumas and present blockages.

Still we must remember that nothing will ever be perfect and we are all a working progress. All of us are an innate mess, however well put together we may feel or seem. We are all improvising our lives as we go along. Trusting but blindly moving through a deep labrinth.

Part of building stability and strength is knowing on some subterranean level, that we, in this moment, in this day, are enough, and have enough. Whatever we choose to add or remove from our lives, the essence of who we truly are remains the same. We remain entirely loveable and entirely complete - even when we are not at our best. It is the context we look out from and environment that we are placed in that suggest a path, a name, an identity and a belonging. All of these can be rewritten and rewired should we have the impulse to take the leap. Our core remains the same and we can draw enormous security in that.

None of us are born equal and some of us have a great deal more to build from compared to others. Still we are born innately the same - curious, playful, adventurous and hungry.

We have to learn to really embody the body we are in, to build trust, carve confidence, intuition and faith. At the end of the day we have everything we will ever need within and the answers, the safety and the peace are already there.

Waiting to be seen and to be felt. Today. Just now.

The destinations we yearn for are destinations we are already in...

...So take courage, strength and security in that.
