🪶 Stewardship: What Is Actually Mine? --- Medicine Wheel 6
🪶 Stewardship: What Is Actually Mine?
We’ve talked about:
• Worthiness
• Knowledge
• Wisdom
• Balance
🪶 A Simple Reminder
The Medicine Wheel moves step by step.
You remember who you are.
You learn without fear.
You soften into wisdom.
You come into alignment.
Now comes what naturally follows.
Now comes something grounding.
Stewardship.
And this is where most people either overreach
or collapse.
🌿 What Stewardship Is Not
Stewardship is not:
Saving the whole Church
Fixing the whole world
Correcting every doctrinal error
Convincing your family
Winning arguments
When you first wake up from indoctrination,
you feel urgency.
You see patterns.
You connect dots.
You want to warn everyone.
That’s normal.
But that’s not stewardship.
That’s reaction.
🌄 What Stewardship Actually Is
Stewardship is simply:
What has been placed in my hands right now?
Not what overwhelms me…
but what has actually been entrusted to me.
Not someday.
Not hypothetically.
Right now.
Your body.
Your marriage.
Your children.
Your words.
Your work.
Your influence.
That’s it.
Stewardship is local.
It starts right where you are.
🕊️ This Is Where Most Faith Systems Go Wrong
In many religious systems, including LDS culture,
we are often given responsibilities that are too large:
Save the dead.
Save the world.
Build Zion globally.
Defend the institution.
But the Savior almost always works smaller.
Feed one person.
Heal one wound.
Forgive one offense.
That’s stewardship.
🌊 Where This Fits in the Wheel
After balance, you begin to see clearly.
Now you ask:
What is mine to carry?
Because if everything is your burden,
you will burn out.
And if nothing is your burden,
you drift into apathy.
Stewardship is the middle path.
🔥 This Is Where Surrender Gets Real
You’ve learned something important in your later blogs:
The shift wasn’t more effort.
It was surrender.
Stewardship works the same way.
Instead of asking:
“What should I prove?”
You ask:
“What are You asking me to tend?”
That’s 2 Nephi 32 again.
After the Holy Ghost:
“It will show unto you all things what ye should do.”
Not everything everyone should do.
What you should do.
🌾 A Simple Example
You feel prompted to:
Apologize to your wife.
Stay quiet instead of correct.
Go on a walk instead of argue online.
Rest instead of fix something.
That’s stewardship.
And when you ignore that?
Balance shifts.
Not because God is angry.
Because you stepped outside alignment.
🌄 How This Relates to the Temple (Later)
This is where the comparison will get powerful.
The original temple pattern wasn’t about proving worth.
It was about moving from chaos to order
through covenant alignment.
Stewardship was central.
Adam wasn’t told:
“Save the universe.”
He was told:
“Tend the garden.”
That’s stewardship.
The distortion comes when institutions scale that beyond the individual.
We’ll go there later.
🕊️ The Quiet Power of Staying Small
Here’s something wisdom eventually teaches:
The Savior rarely builds movements first.
He builds people.
Quietly.
Privately.
Individually.
If you can tend what is in front of you faithfully,
you are walking the Way.
Not flashy.
Not dramatic.
Faithful.
🌿 A Gentle Question to Sit With
Right now:
What is actually in my hands?
Not what I wish was.
Not what I fear is.
Not what I think I should carry.
What is actually mine?
If you answer that honestly,
you’ll feel something settle.
That’s the Wheel turning correctly.
Next, we move into something that people either resist or misunderstand:
Consecration.
Not the LDS version you were taught.
The deeper one.
The one that doesn’t enslave —
but frees.
Still walking.
