ROOTED

A million and one choices, with your head about to explode? Don’t worry, you’re not the only one.

I heard a great phrase recently (paraphrasing), like a seed, you may think you’re in the dark but, in fact, you’ve been planted. In time, your purpose will reveal itself when you reach the light.

Enlightening thought or, as my father, sister and I remarked – another interesting fact.

Doesn’t the world feel ever so unstable? Drop that thought. The world is as it is, your mind confuses and complicates matters. That’s what personal responsibility is all about.

When I recently moved back to where I spent my childhood, I did it to create a sense of being grounded, of rootedness. It sort of worked, mostly because the country is better for me than the city. Of course, there are some ghosts here, some resentments, some traumas.

Nothing is quite as perfect as it should be for a perfectionist like me.

But what I do wish for myself and for you is that you get rooted in your thinking, in your focus, in your aspirations – not just material aspirations (though I am not one of those possessions don’t matter people) but also your spiritual and emotional aspirations.

Being rooted means expansion, from a point of belonging, your roots spread and you have wide and vast influence.

Never underestimate the power you have.
