"Pylon" The Support To Keep Moving Forward

What? You may be asking. First let's look at the definition of pylon:

py·lon  /ˈpīˌlän/
Noun
1. An upright structure that is used for support or navigation, in particular

 

I took this picture near where I live along the Hudson River. They are pylons that used to support a dock that extended out into the water along the bank of the river. The pylons that remain have, to me, it's own unique artistry and symbolism as I observe them as I pass by on my walks. Each time, a beautiful and unique picture is constructed depending on the mood of the water, the weather, the time of year and the time of day. The tide ebbs and flows, exposing them completely at times while at other times, they are covered almost completely with water so that you'd never know they even existed.  Various species of birds will often use them to perch upon while grooming their feathers or gracefully glide around the obstacle course while minding their own business. 

 

As we move through life, we go through many transitions that are not always easy. We experience many moods, different seasons of life, rough waters and calm times. Throughout it all, it's assuring to have a support sytem so you don't get stuck; so you can stay strong and secure despite possible setbacks or times of uncertainty.

The pylons remind me of how important it is to have support in order to keep me moving and to also be mindful that this support can come in all shapes and sizes.

Below are four PYLONs of support to consider to keep moving you forward:

1. Build a Strong Foundation of Self - Prepare now by taking the time to build a strong foundation of self in body, mind and soul. By doing so, you will be in a better state of health and well-being required to stay sturdy. By taking care of yourself, you dig those roots deep into the earth, creating strength through self-love, self-compassion and self-responsibility in order to maintain balance during temporary rough seas.

2. Connect and Live with Purpose - Practicing meditation or prayer, connecting to a Higher Source or taking time to be in silence is a great way to ground yourself with a connection to an internal knowing that you are supported no matter what and that there is a reason for everything. Connection to Spirit, your soul's purpose or inner knowing provides not only comfort and peace but also an outlook of discovery for finding the lesson or golden nugget that provides growth.

3. Associate with Like-Minded People - No sense hanging around people that bring you down. Create a tribe or a sacred circle of your own like-minded peeps of friends, family, co-workers, etc. that "get you" and "support" you no matter what.  Keep your distance from naysayers or those that zap your energy of positivity and growth. Onward and upward, so choose wisely.

4. Be Open to the Stranger - Here's a goodie. Keep open to that earthly angel that suddenly appears and then disappears. I've had this happen on several occasions. Coincidence? Probably not. These may be people that show up and are there to help you during your worst moments or somewhere along the way and that's it! So keep a watchful eye and be open to receive. Support comes in many shapes and packages.

What's your support system?
