So many will tell you that you must know what you want in life. When you hear that, it\u2019s easy to think something is missing, and you have to “go out” and get it. A quest for what you want in life usually implies adding something on the external level. But it never is enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pursuing my desires only took me so far before I realized they took me nowhere. Where I received the most satiety is in what I didn\u2019t seem to want. It was in disaster, heartache, surprise, fear, and hardship that I found everything worth discovering – myself.<\/em> I realized there was nothing larger, and that it was all right here within me. If it were a snake it would have bitten me. In a way, it did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Turning towards yourself will be the greatest 180 you\u2019ll ever make. All other journeys are like Chinese food. Thirty minutes later, you\u2019re starving again. Satiety comes in not getting what you want, but in getting at who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first part of your life is an ego trip. The second is to know yourself – not what you think<\/em> will make you look good or make you feel important; but what will allow you to express true joy, peace, and playfulness. My second journey is to see what I\u2019m capable of, and that I have nothing to fear. The second trip is a lot more fun. In challenges, I\u2019ll find even more of myself, so I almost welcome them. (That’s hard to admit!) It\u2019s not from the outside that we gain fullness. It\u2019s from the inside that we find satiety. I just never accepted it. I was too busy on my trip to \u201cimprove myself.\u201d It\u2019s nice to just be able to stay home. Accept yourself. It\u2019s all you\u2019ll ever need or want in your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Saturday, January 6, 2024 So many will tell you that you must know what you want in life.
