Your Basement Complex

Dear lovely people,

Do you know what a Basement Complex is? It might mean different things to different people but during my study of geology, I learned that a Basement Complex, is actually the thick voluminous rocks that form the foundation of ancient, and oldest metamorphic and igneous rocks. These particular rocks in turn, form the crust of continents, often in the form of granite.

Well, don’t ask me the definition of all these big terms so that I can spare you all the geological jargon but I must tell you that the Basement complex is contrasted to overlying sedimentary rocks which are laid down on top of the basement rocks after the continent was formed, such as sandstone. At least you know what sedimentary rocks are.

Nonetheless, the idea here is not to plunge you into a geological presentation but rather to let you know the world of strength and insight buried in you. In a layman’s sense, The Basement Complex is simply the foundation on which every other thing on earth stands be it the massive mountains, the seas or the continents in which case, it actually provides the solid platform on which every other thing stands. How do you like that? Therefore if there was no basement complex, there will be no rocks, no soil, no vegetation etc.

This means that after all the noise that rivers make while eroding down mountains, all the force exerted by the seas and oceans, all the explosions of volcanoes, there is something much deeper down into the earth crust unseen but on which they all depend. You might not know how secured it is on the ground until you find yourself hanging with no balance on the 2oth floor of a building.

Just imagine what will happen if you adopt the nature of the basement complex in your life. Then, the world can be boiling up, the volcanoes of social life can be exploding, failure can knock you on the head hundreds of times over and you will be unruffled. You will have your peach because after all, you are mightier. Your ways give you unbelievable stamina, you take your time to do the things you have to do and so despite all the challenges, all the negativity, you come out victoriously clean and clear.

The good news is that “you are wonderfully and fearfully made” God took time off to create the masterpiece that you are and gave you the same stamina of the basement complex. You have all what it takes to step on to higher grounds each time in your life already build into you. But often, you allow fissures to develop within your basement complex and consequentially succumbing to the pressures and volcanoes of social life to the extent they sometimes demotivate you, weaken your vision and expose you to the dictates of external forces. At such times, you are tempted to give up.

Fortify your basement complex with visionary thinking, resolve, tenacity, insight and hindsight. Be an emitting station of enthusiasm rather than a receiving station and above all, be a lighthouse then, success will smile at you when you come knocking.
