Every journey in life is characterised by the distance you travel as an individual; both physically & spiritually. You do not leave home merely to see the world, you do so to see who you are in the world.

To a large extent, however, you must accept how little you know of yourself in order to be willing to travel. He or she who 'knows it all' spends a lot of time in the one place.

Most people have no idea how they will react to new situations. For some this engenders a state of fear, and for others, a state of excitement. Being excited about change means you accept change within yourself. Being afraid of change suggests you are having difficulty accepting your own changes.

In all things, the inner pattern reflects the outer pattern; the outer pattern, the inner.

When considering the journeys others have made, please keep in mind that ultimately, each one is personal, and the purpose of leaving home is to feel more at home within yourself.
