Set Sail For Something New

Friends are lovely and comforting, however, they seldom push you beyond the comfort zone that you live in.  If you do try to move beyond that zone, often, friends will be the first to tell you, in your best interest of course, that you will fail in this new venture.

Generally, we humans are not about being safe.  We humans are not about being fool hardy, but we do like our adventure.  THAT is why so many people are willing to try adventure vacations, extreme sports, and all the other very extraordinary things that are out there for us to do.  

Moving beyond safe keeps us alive because, every day, we renew our interest in life.

Blessings to all!

No Comfort Zone

 

 

It has been important to get out of your comfort zone. It is just as important to take time to be still and let all tension go.

“Even a layman – if he finds a little time to be silent and to be meditative and discovers his self nature in his own home, in the marketplace, he will become the Buddha.” 

Osho, Bodhidharma: The Greatest Zen Master, Talk #8 

Blessings to all!

Why Travel?

 

The poster says:

If we were meant to stay in one place, we’d have roots instead of feet….. —-Rachel Wolchin

********************************

One of the most valuable teaching tools for adults and children is the action of travel.  When we travel, we learn new things about ourselves:

- our lack of patience or the amount of patience that we have.

-our prejudices against other countries, other people, other food, other customs.

-our need to expand our knowledge because not one city or country holds all the knowledge one needs to be the best person possible. 

-our insecurities show up as do our interpersonal relationship issues with family, friends, and with new acquaintances.

-our limitations if we only have one language.

I am sure that you can think of other reasons to travel.  These are my top five for learning while traveling.  Share what you think in the comments below.
