MotD 24-302 Security — before. textured abstract background with varying colors of red, yellow, grey, blue, pink, and off-white. on top in black ink is a surrealistic drawing the outlines the different patches of colors. in the center is a partial view of a “glass” mandala (almost like an eyeball) that appears to be enveloped or maybe held by a plant or tree trunk like shape. It feels like everything drawing out is protecting the “eye” (the “I”?)

Security

“a strong, positive sense of self-worth and belief in one’s abilities, and who feels comfortable and soured in who they are and what they can achieve”

This is one of those words that has a wide range of definitions. I felt compelled to pick this variation because everything else seemed to focus on stuff outside of ourselves…more like safe and safety. This one has a more inward vibe.

We’re encouraged with today’s MotD to do what we can to feel more secure as a person…in who we are and what we do. A secure person is someone who knows they can handle whatever comes their way, that no matter the struggle or tribulation they will remain true to themselves and stay true to their journey.

A secure person is willing and able to put themselves out there, to allow themselves to be vulnerable, and to go after what they believe in even if their fears try to stop them. A secure person believes in themselves and yet is willing and able to ask for help and listen to what others have to say.

Where does this security come from? It comes from having made in life this far and knowing that we’ve handled everything in some way, shape, or form along the way. It may not have been pretty, perfect, or “successful” by whatever standard was used, and yet we’re still here.

We just need to remind ourselves once in a while that we are worthy, we have abilities that are of value, and that we can allow ourselves to be comfortable in who we are and who we are becoming.

How about you? Is security a core value for you?

BTW…here’s what it looked like to begin with …

About the 2024 Mandalas of the Day

Each day I will create and post a mandala inspired by one of 366 “value” words chosen randomly. The objective being to discover for myself which ones would best represent my core values…and by doing so, I hope it inspires you to determine your own.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
