Dec 28, 2009 – Belize: With a new year on the horizon, many of us focus on new beginnings and consider the changes we wish to make in our lives. But turning these New Year's resolutions into a reality takes the energy of Self-Reliance, the fifth Stilletto Step.
To have Self-Reliance is to be independent, confident, resilient, and mentally tough – all masculine energy characteristics. The fifth Stilletto Step of Self-Reliance is therefore the most masculine of the six steps. Still, this confidence, independence, and mental fortitude are only possible when we’ve learned who we are inside by using our feminine energy to increase our self-awareness.
Historically men were taught to be assertive and unemotional, while women were taught to express their feelings and to depend on these "big hulks." But we're smarter now. We realize that individuals are better off if they have a good balance between masculine and feminine energy. And they can more successfully implement change if both of these energies are nourished and cultivated.
It’s especially helpful when it comes to New Year’s resolutions, as getting in touch with our inner being means we can make changes which are motivated by desire – as opposed to being motivated by external anger or fear. These externally-driven feelings are what happens when masculine energy acts on its own, without the balance of the feminine.

Thus, just as we asked men to develop feminine energy by taking the first Stilletto step of Self-Awareness (the most feminine of the steps), now we ask women to develop their masculine energy becoming Self-Reliant. When both sexes access their opposite, we'll end up with a whole lot of well-balanced people, all aligned from their "inner" to their "outer." It’s the easiest way to make change and keep that New Year’s resolution!
Self-Awareness = Self-Reliance
So simple, but revolutionary on a massive proportion.
Best wishes in 2010!!!
