Being your own village

To survive in life we need to have many skills.  pursuing our dreams requires even more. Most of us rely on the support of a village, whether that includes relatives or community members, to effectively address the numerous ways we need assistance. This can mean anything from asking favours of acquaintances or leaning on loved ones for support or paying a skilled person to handle specialised tasks. However, each of us is born with the capacity to be their own village. We embody many roles throughout our lifetimes, all of which are representative of our capacity for self-sufficiency and self-determination. In different moments in our lives, we are our own counsellor, cleaner, carer, cook, healer, teacher and student. Our willingness to joyfully take on these roles grants us the power to maintain control over the direction our life’s journey takes.

In past times, human beings learned all of the skills needed for survival. Today, the majority of people specialise in a single discipline, which they hone throughout their lives. Thus, many of us feel uncomfortable standing at the helm of our own existence. We often question our ability to make decisions concerning our own health, happiness and welfare, and are left feeling dependent and powerless. But the authority to take ultimate responsibility for our lives is simply a matter of believing that we have the necessary faith and intelligence to cope with any circumstance the universe chooses to give us. Proving that we can each be our own village through action enables us to accept that we are strong enough to exist autonomously. Cooking, cultivating a garden of fruits and vegetables, undertaking minor home repair or adopting a healthier lifestyle can help us reassert our will.

Being your own village does not mean embracing isolation, for a balanced life is built upon the foundations of both the inner and outer villages. Rather, being your own village is a celebration of your amazing inner strength and resourcefulness, as well as an acknowledgment of your innate ability to steer the course of your life.

Humanity

Sometimes we only see differences when it comes to our families. We see the way our parents maybe cling to ideas we don’t believe, or act in ways we try not to copy. We see how practical or skilled one of our siblings is and wonder how we can be from the same gene pool. Similarly, we see how different we are from each other within the human family, in many ways ranging from gender and race to geographical location and religious beliefs. It is almost as if we think we are a different species sometimes. But the truth is, in our personal families as well as the human family, we really are the same.

A single mother of four living in Africa looks up at the same stars and moon that shine down on an elderly Frenchman in Paris. A Tibetan monk living in India, a new born infant in China, and a young couple saying their marriage vows in Indiana all breathe the same air, and by the same process. We have probably all been hurt and we have all cried. Each one of us knows how it feels to love someone dearly. No matter what our political views are, we all love to laugh. Regardless of how much or how little money we have, our hearts pump blood through our bodies in the same way. With all this in common, it is clear we are each individual members of the same family. We are human.

Acknowledging how close we all are, Instead of clinging to what separates us, enables us to feel less alone in the world. Every person we meet, see, hear, or read about is a member of our family. We truly are not alone. We can also begin to see that we are perfectly capable of understanding and relating to people who, on the surface, may seem very different from us. This awareness prevents us from disconnecting from people on the other side of the tracks, and the other side of the world. We begin to understand that we must treat all people for what they are – family.
