NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO THERE YOU ARE!

Did you read the title? Read it one more time. What on earth does that mean? I've said this for years. It's from an old 80s movie Buckaroo Bonzai. It is a phrase that is said often, but most people don't grasp the concept. No matter where you go there you are? Of course, where else would you be? In life, there are always times we want to escape anywhere but here. We have just had enough of daily life and wish we could hop in our car, roll the windows down and turn the radio up on full blast. Let the wind blow through your hair and be free. Am I right? This past year with Covid has made me want to go on a long road trip. No destination at all to feel free and travel anywhere but here would be amazing. We can load up our car and pack our bags and arrive safely at our destination. Guess what... there you are. Right? You are right there correct?? But you wanted to escape right? The thing is you can't escape yourself. You can never leave yourself or your experiences or emotions. It doesn't matter how far you go or try to run away from yourself. You will always be right there. If you leave home scared, upset, depressed, and anxious when you arrive at your beautiful destination, the feelings will still be there. Yes, you will be in a different place, however there you are. It is a profound concept. It isn't always about needing a change of scenery or a different place to exist. Sometimes it's as simple as dealing with those feelings head-on. Feel them at the moment and in the place you are. The one thing in life you can never run away from is yourself. Your true self is always right there. Embrace that soul and be you always. I believe in you.
