One of my favorite quotes is from Marcel Proust, “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.” We tend to think that in order to have adventures or learn new things we have to provide ourselves with different surroundings. The things we have to overcome in life to achieve greater experiences and enlightenment lie outside of ourselves. But the truth is that in discovering our inner world. By venturing into the questioning of deeply held thoughts, beliefs, ideas, and assumptions we will find plenty to work with. The advantage of being willing to go on such a venture means that we can discover our true selves and connect with how we show up in the world. This shifts our perspective and then all of a sudden the outside world begins to look differently. The adventure we are seeking is not out there, it is in our own hearts. Over the years we have piled on meaning and ego justifications to our heart. We did it not because we wanted to separate ourselves from our true spirit, but because it was the best we could do on our own. Just think what might happen if we invite God in to take a look at what we have created and see if the Great Creator can help us bring about a new experience of being. My prayer for us today is that we be open to looking inward with courage (God). Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
