Your Instinctive Identity

So what do you do when these attempts lead to an attack? How do you survive and thrive in your destiny without becoming a blink in history? Once again, I learned from Bentley and Sable, my hairy, slobbering friends. Their unique qualities have taught me to use who you are to adapt to where you find yourself.

You see, as canines, they can’t connect with the rabbits nor are they designed to. They can’t climb trees with the squirrels, or hide under roots like the chipmunks. They may resemble the coyotes, but they aren’t one of them. Perhaps that’s why it’s good that they have each other. The shared experience of frolicking like pets in the day and fighting like soldiers at night bonds them together.

And they also share the love, attention, and sustenance offered by their owner. For you see, no matter what happens in the suburban jungles of night, whether they return with birds in their mouths or blood on their torsos, they always come back to their home base. They know who they are, whose they are, and ultimately where they belong.

The same is true for you! Many people will want to use your mouth to convey their message. Don’t let them. Others will try to harness your influence for their agenda. Resist them. There will be moments when someone steals your thunder, mauls your paws, and nips your nose. But you can always survive the treacheries and tragedies if you have a base to which you can return. Never allow the other animals to overwhelm you so much that you lose your way back to where you belong. Always know your base, that calm core of confidence within you, and how to access it and take shelter as needed.

You must be true to your purpose, doggedly tenacious about your passion, and never lose sight of your center. You can’t be balanced without a center point upon which other forces tilt. That part that doesn’t move within you controls all that is moving around you. If you lose your center and forgo your identity, then you’re done, finished, kaput!

Whether you win or lose today’s skirmish for survival doesn’t matter as much as maintaining your base. I’ve seen my dogs come back to the house with possums in their mouths, wagging their tails with glee. I’ve also seen them come back with blood running down their legs with lacerations from a bobcat as their only reward. But they always come back to the base.

If you lose your sense of who you are, you have nothing to which you can return. If you don’t discover your passions, purpose, and power, then you will pursue the roles assigned by other people’s scripts. You will lose the success afforded by new opportunities if you don’t know your own priorities and preferences.

Your strength is in your uniqueness. If you lose yourself just to get along with others, then you have nothing original to offer this new world of possibilities. In spy language, you have been compromised.
