The really heavy lifting comes with the things we apply daily. It is not in those special things we do and say that we bring out of the archives because we want something. The most critical parts of our character are shaped with our behaviors during times of chaos. Being able to lift up our feelings from the ground and hold them, hold them, hold them, steadfast and firm no matter the messy in the environment surrounding us. This is the really heavy lifting. When we keep lifting. Lifting from a position of strength and emotional integrity during times of uncertainty.
Over time, what we apply daily begins to shape our surroundings through transformation. It can be slow and quite lonely, while in the middle of that ring holding, holding, holding things up. When mostly you just want to scream, "I can use some help here!" But you can't drop anything, the environment is counting on you. You are the fixer, the nurturer, the inventor. So you keep lifting, holding up the really heavy parts.
There is no substitute for what we apply daily. Through heavy lifting during the most trying times we leave a traceable DNA. This is the DNA our children will remember and emulate when it is their time in the ring!
