Many of us, including the old me, often believe that by removing ourselves from our current reality and circumstances will make our problems, conflicts, and emotional memories disappear when in fact we can’t remove them from ourselves.
Meaning you can take yourself away from your perceived external “problems” but you can’t take your actual inner “problems” away from yourself.
They will follow you everywhere you go.
How you feel, think, react is from the inside, not from the outside.
You have no way to control the world outside of you. What people say, what happens, is not in your control.
What you can control is how you react to it. How you behave towards it. How you embrace it.
Fortunately tho, there’s a way out.
And it isn’t by exploring the world outside of you, including people, places, things, that you will find the answers to your life’s purpose.
It’s about exploring the world inside of you and finding the truth within.
The life I live now is a conscious choice that I make my reality, not as a way to run away from it.
I embrace it as my life experience. As what I do.
It’s what I’ve faced before this new lifestyle that has prepared me for it.
A few years ago I was confused within myself, having no clue who I am, what I want and how I want to express myself.
The very idea of instantly unplugging from my life and start traveling, with a one-way ticket, would scare the shit out of me.
I had anxiety just getting outside my house. A nervous wreck, afraid of the world, thinking that everything and everyone was out to get me.
And it came to the point that I just couldn’t do it anymore. The pain was too deep.
So I embraced the inner journey first, to create an inner clearing from my patterns, programming, fears, and insecurities.
Having no clue I even had them in the first place. 😂
I was so close to it that I didn’t even see they were there.
And in the process, I discovered who I really am and what I really want.
Changing my inner reality, so that I can create a new outer reality.
And I’m so absolutely grateful for every step that I took, every challenge that I faced, all the breakdowns that I had.
They all served a purpose in helping me cause clarity, enhance my awareness of myself, and release and let go of what held me back.
I wouldn’t want to change it. In fact, I’d recommend people to go down their personal growth journeys without drastically changing their outer circumstances because everything will serve as a teacher to help you grow faster and make you that much stronger.
Sure running away will teach you some things, getting yourself in a very uncomfortable situation will cause drastic flashes of enlightenment, but they may be too overwhelming that you miss some of the underlying lessons that you’d have to face later on again.
The key here is to grow through it in increments. Taking one step at a time with one foot in the known and one foot into the unknown.
A constant balance of order and chaos.
This way you stay present, aware and grounded while still facing inner darkness and causing powerful shifts into your higher self.
Creating lasting and sustainable changes in your state of being and security within yourself.
It’s a safe journey, embrace it, take the first step. Be courageous. And welcome it all. No one ever died going through an inner journey into the unknown.
Only clarity, freedom and power can come from this.
And honestly, it makes life a whole lot more interesting than to do nothing and staying in the “safe” zone, which somehow feels more hostile and dangerous than breaking free. 🤔
