Our lives are a work in progress.  We will know we are done when we die.  All the striving, conquering, and controlling does not delay the end or push it back.  Being in the space of striving, controlling, and conquering is about a static state.  We cannot control the ebb and flow of life, it is meant to be in flux.  We cannot strive past our current reality.  We can grow from our past reality but if we are pushing to be somewhere we are not, we lack alignment with ourselves.  Life is a conquering when we acknowledge our development as being in the game of life.  I use to think safety came from knowing.  I have learned on my daily dates that safety is being real with God and myself.  Depending on what stage of development I am present in at the moment, I can determine the most safe way to allow for my development by connecting with myself.  Trusting it will look different today than it does six months or years from now depending on how I have grown. For me, it’s also a willingness to be open to how I progress, not that I do in a certain way that assures me of a smooth road with a definitive successful marker at the end.  Development makes room for allowing the ebb and flow of life in which showing up is the only role I am to play.
