Standing on My Own Two Feet
When I was ready to attract love in my life, a mantra came to me while walking around a labyrinth,
“Standing on my own two feet.”
I felt my stomach drop. Did this mean I was not destined for love?
What I learned in the days to come was that I had to be 100 percent confident that I was fully self-supporting. Not just financially, but spiritually, mentally, physically. I needed to know that no matter what I would land on my feet, with or without love.
I double-downed on my commitment to date myself. To be the best person for myself that I could be.
And when I attracted true love. Healthy love. Secure love. I was overjoyed to see that with this kind of love I was able to stand more firmly on my own two feet.
In healthy love there is a beautiful dance between autonomy and union. And in healthy love we encourage one another to be our very best selves. With the secure base of love, individuals can fly, knowing they can come back at the end of the day to
the security of one another.
Love is about creating an interdependence between one another. Where you can rely on each other. And, where you push each other to try new things and to go off independently in the world to create and serve.
My fear that standing on my own two feet meant not having love could not have been more untrue.
Through great love comes the ability to stand even firmer on your own two feet.
