We have enormous respect for this person, who means safety and maybe clarity &#8211; not mushiness or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is stability something to strive for? In some arenas, yes. But for yourself? As applied to you? Stabile means to be stationary, at rest, fixed, unmoving, and unchanging. If we are stabile, we are not moving or growing or changing. Stability is a resting place, but not a destination. To reach our potential, we must [...]]]></description>

He remarks that an attempt to escape our higher selves or our destiny or the act of behaving below our potential is a shame and robs us of inspiration and brilliance. He suggests that [...]]]></description>
