Do You Have a Strong Personal Foundation?
We all dream, hope, and yearn for a meaningful and well-lived life. To truly live life by our own design and bring those desires to our actual experience requires that we have a strong foundation on which to build. Are you building your career, business, and personal life on a rock-solid foundation? Or, is it riddled with holes and cracks?
Anyone who has ever built anything from a house to a layer cake to a campfire to a business knows that if the base isn’t properly in place, the results can be a mess. I know I’ve baked more than one layer cake that looked like it was either the replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa or something a psycho would assemble. While I did great with Tinker Toys as a kid, my one attempt at an erector set resulted in a construction site accident of epic proportions. Unfortunately, most people don’t take much better care when it comes to building their own personal foundation and the results can be disastrous.
When you don’t have a strong foundation you find yourself:
- Experiencing frequent pangs of guilt
- Worrying about what other people think
- Wishing something/someone else “out there” would change so your life could then be better
- Struggling with or avoiding your finances
- Running ragged and making excuses as to why you never have time for any self-care
Any of these sound familiar to you?
Now you might think you don’t have the resources to invest in building your own foundation because it seems like a luxury or “extra-nice-to-have”. So instead you add a little extra window dressing here and there and hope to make-do. Unfortunately that amounts to little more than rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Here’s the thing… while no one can ever promise you a life without challenges or turbulence, if you don’t shore up your own foundation you can be sure that both hardships and successes will shake your foundation and it will not support you when you most need it to. All that window-dressing will be meaningless when you need it most.
A strong foundation looks like a healthy tree. It has both roots that go deep into the ground and branches that reach for the skies. It can bend in the wind and storms yet remain strong and intact even if a few branches fall off now and then.
When you build your life and business on a strong foundation it is possible to be both rooted in the physical reality while also pursuing and realizing your goals and dreams. You are able to have confidence and certainty even in the midst of change, ambiguity, and uncertainty. This confidence is possible because you live with consciousness, integrity, and purpose without having to worry about the ground falling out from underneath you.
The times we are living in right now calls us all to have a strong foundation so we not only weather the storms but also thrive and live joyfully in changing times. Is your personal foundation up to the task? Or, are you trying to survive by plugging the cracks and holes with whatever you can find?
Lacking confidence, feeling uncertain and fearful, or simply running ragged repeating the same routine over and over?
