I Am Enough

Perhaps the acquiring of self-reliance is the state of being that is your property and your property alone.

 I Am Enough

 

A particular kind of strength is revealed

When the world is still
In the silence of dawn’s arrival.

Unseen, unspoken,
A resolve that rises from within,
Not from the voices of others,
But from the core of being.


A trust in one’s own hands,
In the mind’s clarity,
In the heart’s courage,
To walk alone if needed,
To stand firm in the face of doubt,
To find solace in solitude,
And power in independence.


Self-reliance is the whisper,
“I am enough,”
The steady beat of confidence,
The unwavering belief,
That within lies all that is needed,
To navigate the storms,
To embrace the unknown,
To carve a path,
Unique and true .


Self-confidence is the quiet assurance,
The inner compass,
Guiding through the chaos,
Anchoring in the self,
A testament to the spirit,
Unyielding,
Unbroken,
Whole.

 

Such is the you knowing

“I am enough.”

In the darkest ours, we are inclined to recall the darker words spoken by others. Never more so than on the tv or radio, in their programmed negative barrages of bad news, and demands that we the listeners should do/be/see better.

However; it is just that...a programming method designed to keep a low vibration.

We are better than that - It's just that it's easy to forget that while we're fending off the volley of indesirable words being rained upon our open minds.

An interesting take on self-reliance and the inner sanctum where it can lead. In the end, we have to rely on ourselves, who else to rely one, and we have to be enough, to do what has to be done.

I've used this quote before. It seems suitable in context to this. "There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self." Speaking for myself, which is all I can do: Of all the judgements we pass in life, none is more important than the one we pass on ourselves. You really don't have to prove anything to anyone except yourself. Each of our journey's is achingly personal, and we can go in any direction we so desire. One of the perks of being able to read and write and cogitate, is we can make wiser decisions about what direction we go in. I believe we are enough to navigate our own lives, as you intimate in this, but I do not believe we are enough to sustain them. Eat like you love yourself. Speak like you love yourself. Write like you love yourself. Move like you love yourself. Act like you love yourself. And then love others the same way, but even more. Thanks for this inspirational insight. Enjoyed. Peace. r
