Have you ever wondered why some people seem unshaken by life’s chaos while others are thrown off balance by the slightest challenge?
Stability is not about avoiding life’s storms—it’s about standing firm and centered in the middle of them.
True stability doesn’t come from controlling every aspect of your life or suppressing your emotions.
In fact, stability is the very foundation that allows life to be lived in its full vibrance and exuberance.
Think of a mountain—majestic, still, and immovable. A mountain doesn’t control or resist the forces around it; it simply exists in unshakable stability.
Life, in its purest form, is meant to be like that: stable at the core yet full of exuberance and vitality.
Let’s dive deeper into what it means to be truly stable and why it’s the secret to unlocking life’s greatest joys.
Stability Fuels Exuberance
Without stability, the beauty and energy of life can spiral into chaos.
Have you noticed how people who are creative, passionate, or full of life sometimes end up feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or even emotionally exhausted?
That’s because without a stable base, exuberance can lead to imbalance, and imbalance leads to suffering.
Look at Shiva (A Revered god In Hinduism ), a symbol of the ultimate balance. He embodies two extremes: absolute stillness and an explosion of dance.
His stillness allows for the wild exuberance of his dance. That’s the secret—a stable foundation is what makes life’s dance beautiful, not destructive.
The Mistake of Trimming Life
Many of us think we can find stability by controlling our lives, by limiting our experiences, and by suppressing our emotions.
But this approach only creates what I like to call a “constipated existence.”
Yes, you might feel calm, but your joy, love, and ecstasy come in tiny, restricted doses—just enough to survive, but not enough to truly live.
True stability doesn’t come from suppression. It comes from clarity.
When you see life clearly—when your vision isn’t clouded by fears, insecurities, or false identities—you naturally become stable.
Clarity Is the Key
Clarity of vision means seeing life as it is, not as your mind interprets it.
Most of our instability comes from the way we identify with our body, our emotions, our roles, and our ideas. These identities multiply rapidly and create mental noise that drowns out reality.
The moment you break your identification with your body and mind, you’ll notice something profound: a sense of distance between you and your thoughts, between you and your emotions.
From that distance comes clarity, and from clarity comes unshakable stability.
Stability Is Not Death
Some people confuse stability with lifelessness. They think being stable means becoming dull or stagnant.
But stability isn’t about being dead; it’s about being fully alive. It’s the balance that allows you to experience life’s fullness without losing yourself in it.
Imagine riding a bicycle—if you’re out of balance and try to move fast, you’re bound to fall and hurt yourself. But when you achieve balance, speed becomes effortless, and the ride becomes joyful.
Life works the same way. Balance, rooted in clarity, makes the dance of life beautiful.
Looking Beyond Yourself
Let me share a simple story.
Once, a traveller came to stay near a mountain and complained, “Where is the view? The mountain is in the way!”
The mountain was never in the way—it’s the person’s inability to see beyond themselves that created the problem.
Life is full of spectacular views, but most of us are too caught up in our own minds to notice(like a mountain).
When you stop identifying with your limited self, you begin to see the grandeur of existence. That vision is what brings stability.
Embrace Stability, Unleash Exuberance
Stability doesn’t mean suppressing your life. It means creating a solid foundation so you can embrace life in its fullest expression.
When your vision is clear, and you’re no longer trapped by your mind’s drama, life becomes a dance—a vibrant, exuberant celebration.
So, ask yourself:
- Are you trimming your life in the name of stability?
- Or are you building clarity and balance that can truly set you free?
When you learn to see beyond yourself, stability will follow, and with it, life’s natural exuberance.
