No matter where you go, there you are.
~Confucius
Our lives are complicated. So much going on, so much to do or maybe you spend more time looking out of your window wondering what you should be doing, for every day seems to be the same as the day before. Whether we are busy or bored, we find ourselves living a repetitive pattern with seemingly no sign of change ahead of us.
We often feel that we are stuck in the same day to day struggles, overwhelm, fear, exhaustion and challenges and some days the option to run away from home seems like the only thing that will make a difference.
Unfortunately, we will still be the same person living in a different place and most likely we will begin to build the same kind of challenges. And besides, most often, there is no place like home!
Each of us are living a difference set of circumstances, often trapped within our own life experiences, which often makes it difficult for others to understand us. When we look for advice, they give us a rendition of their own story, which may inspire, encourage and help us sort though our situations, yet it cannot change anything unless we use their advice to make the changes we are hoping to achieve in our lives.
Like bees, we go out and search for the right flower of information to fill up on and then we store it away in our ever-growing need to understand ourselves and the world around us.
The gathering of knowledge is important and it can be a long process because there is so much out there to choose from, but at some point, we have to use what we have learned and take a chance on bettering our lives.
If you are not living the life that you want, running away from home is not going to make any difference. The only way to find your way to happiness is for you to do something to create the life that you want because I doubt that Prince Charming is going to show up and Aladdin's magic lamp will probably bring you more trouble than it is worth. The only magic that you are going to find, is going to depend on what you are looking for. The choice is really up to you and it is actually as simple as how you use your imagination. Imagine and dare to create a life that you will enjoy, not one based on your fears and challenges.
There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.
~Albert Einstein
