“There is no substitute for the creative inspiration, knowledge, and stability that come from knowing how to contact your core.”
~Depak Chopra

Do you have Dynamic Stability?

There are sand dunes in the San Luis Valley of Colorado that have remained the same in form and size for centuries. (Great Sand Dunes National Park)

Their beauty and stability belies the fact that they are in the process of dynamic change. The sand from the dunes is eroding into the valley below. As this process is occurring, strong southern winds are sweeping the sand up and in a circular motion depositing it back on the dunes. As a result, their configuration remains essentially unchanged.

This concept and the analogy described so articulately by my son-in-law, John, is called dynamic stability. It is the ability to remain stable and in balance while dynamic change occurs all around.

The steadfast leadership exhibited by Mayor Rudy Giuliani, in the hours, days and months that followed September 11th in New York City, represents a memorable and powerful example of a person who was dynamically stable.

Honor today a time in your life when you were the inspiration and stability for yourself and those around you in times of dynamic change! Like the dunes in the San Luis valley with life events swirling around them, dynamically stable people “shall not be moved.”

Life Upgrade Coaching Tip

The Process of Identifying Dynamic Stability in Your Life.

1. Scan your mind to times of dynamic change in your own life.
2. Identify one time when you exhibited unwavering stability and strength.
3. Acknowledge and honor yourself for that shining moment.
4. How did that affect your responses to the circumstances?
5. How did it affect the lives of others around you?
6. What has been the value of that experience to you?
7. What was the value to those around you?
8. Has that experience changed how you perceive change?

As I develop more material on this concept, I request you share an example of dynamic stability with me. (A story from your own life—an example from someone else’s life) I would also love you to share some of the characteristics you see that dynamically stable people exhibit (contact Coach Ginger). Thanks in advance for playing!! I will keep you posted.
