This is a continuation of our series on self empowering issues. Providing insights and information and hopefully inspiration, that allow you the capacity to make positive change wherever you're having dilemmas or problems. The topic for today is "I'm not finished yet". Why? Why is that important? Because how often have we thought we're at a particular place in life where we don't have to work that hard, we don't have to do anything that new, we don't have to stress ourselves? We've got to a comfortable place of accommodating ourselves with our environment, our relationships, our career. In fact, how often are we really working for our security?
Well, look at the opposite of that, because everything has to be measured by its opposite at all times. What's the opposite of security? Insecurity. Which means that if you're really making a decision from needing to be secure, it's because you're insecure. There are so many people who feel they don't have to do anything more. They've made it. But then when you ask, "Well, what does it mean to have made it?" it means "I'm comfortable." So comfort becomes a position that a lot of people strive for, and they assume that with that comfort becomes security. Why? Because things become predictable. What's wrong with that? What's wrong with finding a place where you feel secure and comfortable and confident in your daily rituals? Knowing what you're going to eat? Knowing what's going to be the nature of a conversation? Well, do you ever find that boring?

![PSA 03m34s - Consciousness of Clothing - BWFD 082-221
My mother was a freedom fighter, and we used to spin in the morning, and we used to dress in khadi - the hand-spun, hand-woven cloth. And around the time, I must have been six or seven years old, this fossil-fuel fiber, the nylon, was starting to emerge. And everyone was wearing it because it was fashionable, and we wanted to copy, and we asked our mother, could we have a nylon frock? Instead of the khadi that we were wearing. And she said, Ill never stop you. You really want nylon? Ill get you a nylon frock. But just remember, when you wear nylon, you help the millionaire get a little richer and get his next Mercedes car. If you wear hand-spun, hand-woven cloth, a poor woman is able to get food for her children that night.
And to me, these are early lessons of the circular economy in justice, in economic terms, that returns go back to the people who are really creating our fabrics, our clothing, with their work, with their love. And since that time, Ive only worn hand-made clothing, and every minute conscience of the full journey of what one wears. After all, clothes are our second skin. ~ Vandana Shiva

More Information
You can learn more about Shiva’s work and her many projects on https://navdanya.org/site/index.php . During the first week of April every year, Navdanya gives a five-day course called Annam, Food as Health ( https://navdanyainternational.org/calendar/annam-food-as-health/ ), via Zoom. In this course, you’ll learn about soil and plant biodiversity and healthy eating for optimal health.
You can also learn more by reading the report “Earth Rising, Women Rising: Regenerating the Earth, Seeding the Future,” ( https://navdanya.org/site/eco-feminism/the-earth-rising,-women-rising ) written by female farmers. And, again, mark your calendars and plan your participation in the food freedom campaign, starting October 2, 2021.
“When all the spiritual forces, all of nature’s forces and most of people’s forces are aligned together, what can [a few] billionaires, technocrats — who want to be richer than they are, greedier than they are, more violent than they are — do?” Shiva says. “They don’t count in the long run, really. It’s just that we cannot afford to not do the things that we can do.” PSA 03m34s - Consciousness of Clothing - BWFD 082-221](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/N05tlrMtz84/mqdefault.jpg)
