To Thine Ownself Be True

 



"Be sure you put your feet in the right place,
then stand firm."
 
Abraham Lincoln


It takes years to establish where to place our feet.  We do a lot of shuffling, repositioning, and changing of our shoes.  Once we determine our truth, however, it is vitally important to keep our minds open, but our feet firm.

When we are at our very best, we know our truths clearly.  Beliefs are at our core, radiant and pulsing.  Unfortunately, when we unintentionally take a few steps away from our center, we find ourselves stumbling.  We grow detached and lose our focus. 

It is beyond me, how we can in one moment sense our power so strongly, and feel so Divinely connected, and yet simply let it fade away.  When we return to our intimate point of knowing, it is like returning home. 

Our inner knowing is much like a small ambitious child.  It can be left alone only in small increments and needs to be monitored and nourished routinely.  If left unattended, it can  become lost. 

Each and every day, it is important to know where we stand.  This helps us to maintain healthy boundaries which can strengthen relationships.  When we are cognizant of the ground where we place our feet, it is less likely for us to wander off.
