The Only True Safety and Comfort There Is

Such is the infinite beauty and challenge of life that I forego comfort and safety in favour of something altogether more exciting and fulfilling. That something is in fact a myriad different experiences that I may choose along the way, things that expand who I am beyond “known” limits first perceived before I became whole again.

I am truly thrilled by life and the opportunities that now lie ahead of me; scared a little too, as I am only human after all. Nevertheless, I would swap nothing for comfort and safety that is an illusion anyway and a waste of opportunity for growth. Play small, play safe; play big, live life to the full. True happiness can never come from the dark corner in which we hide but from the freedom of the heart expressed with infinite openness and lack of restraint.

My only true safety net is the ever-present love and protection of the universal consciousness which feels ever closer and stronger as I bravely follow my heart to freedom. In moments of fear and doubt, my solace comes to me when I recall that love and protection, its undying support and encouragement, that rock of love offered unconditionally to me and anyone else who would follow its guidance through the heart. Once I am present to its infinite power, fear just melts away and I am at peace once more, enlivened by anticipation of what is to come.

Practical footnote: I have gleaned from repeated experience that, though fears may surface from time to time (which is better and easier to deal with than the alternatives of being buried or, worse still, denied), the simple answer is to stop thinking about anything you cannot change and to hand it over to the universe to deal with and to think instead of the sheer enormity of the universal consciousness, its infinite power, intelligence and love. I sometimes do this by remembering those wonderful photographs of deep space taken by the Hubble Telescope and the incredible, unimaginable vastness of space and the universe and how, despite my relative insignificance in that context, it always cares and provides for me.
