Stability meaning in real life

Stability shows up when people know what to expect from you even during disruption.

Longer read

Stability becomes visible in the routines, habits, expectations, and responses that keep a hard season from becoming total chaos. It is not rigidity. It is the form of steadiness that gives people something to stand on while conditions are moving.
