We always have choices, sometimes the choice to make a change or take on a quest or journey can be the scariest decision of all. But it is when we leave behind what is familiar that we make space to see with a perspective where we were.
While the journey itself can take on a life of its own the most important questions we always have to come back to, i.e. “What do I need?”, “How do I feel?”, “What is right for me?” contain answers that only lie within ourselves. In answering these, we take responsibility for our power and in doing so empower ourselves and heal.
Go within don’t go without.
“Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
~Rilke
