Right Fit

Right Fit

When you are ice skating, it is important to have properly tight and sturdy ice skates. If you have no ice skates on, you will be sliding around the ice with a high likelihood of falling multiple times. On the other hand, if you have ice skates that are not tight or crooked, you are going to have issues on the ice. Sure, you could partially skate with those ill-fitted ice skates a bit. Although, skating with those ice skates would look more in the way of hanging onto the outer railing of the ice rink instead of freely skating without support. However, ice skates that fit just right would allow you to skate wherever you want on the ice with more confidence in maintaining balance on the ice doing just about whatever you would like to do. You may still fall on the ice if you skate too quickly or bump into someone. Yet, you know that you can get back up to skate for more time learning from the fall.

Similarly, life can leave people out of balance depending on various situations which provide a differing degree of personal clarity. If you have no idea where you are going or have low self-awareness, you will fall many times and feel lost. When you have an idea of a life goal or a slightly increased self-awareness, you may endure multiple setbacks here and there on the journey. You might even feel close to where you want or feel the need to be with an aching feeling of not having quite the right fit leaving you shaking and stumbling throughout your days. If you have clarity through self-awareness from personal values, purpose, and healthy connections, then your skating through life will be easier. Not perfect, but easier. The confidence and security from personal clarity shifts balance into your favor as the right fit of life situation combined with understanding of one’s own self mesh in a smooth manner.
