Stability
Stability – highly valued and strongly sought – steady income, solid networks, significant other, residence, furniture, belongings – things we aspire to or believe we should aspire to. Yet these same goals may one day become the source of our misery, binding the present and future, inhibiting freedom and limiting choice.
For some, the struggle is in leaving a stable life to find themselves and experience freedom by exploring the unknown. Perhaps for others, only in keeping a routine can we truly appreciate our surroundings and find adventure and beauty beyond the daily chore.
And so while the temptation to set off once again lures in the background (and probably always will), only in staying out of that comfort zone and embracing stability, will I grow.
