"Security is mostly a superstition."

Do you ever get the feeling the Universe is talking to you directly. After a wonderful day surrounded by good friends (Today was Spa Day at my house!) We went out with more good friends to our Stagecrafters Theatre... where we have a season subscription. Tonight's play was "The Miracle Worker" and while I was looking forward to seeing our friends I wasn't really thinking the play would be good.

Imagine my surprise when, after a day of watching "The Secret" and attending a coaching workshop on implementing desired changes in one's life... I saw "Security is mostly a superstition." on the screen on stage! How true is that! This is from a poem by Helen Keller. The whole poem follows:

Let Us Have Faith
(1940)

by Helen Keller
(1880 - 1968)


Security is mostly a superstition.
It does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
To keep our faces toward change and
behave like free spirits
in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.

Many of us have found ourselves in place in life where we just want to run and hide. Sometimes it's a bad work situation, or health problems, or a role that is put upon us by "fate" and we are left feeling like we have no control. We want to be "safe"... but the safety we envision is an illusion. In reality the only "safety" may be to charge full speed ahead right through the very thing that terrifies us. There is no safety!... so you might as well enjoy the ride... do what you would do if you knew you couldn't fail!
