Giving It Up

I'm finding it highly ironic that the biggest journey of my life could only begin to happen once I came back home and stopped running to the ends of the earth in search of it. There is a lot I am giving up now; the old rules, my comfort zone, old definitions of security, a big heavy burden and my home. It's ok though. If that's what I need to sacrifice to get free and live my life without fakery and deceipt, it's worth it. And the really beautiful thing about it all is that once I stopped clutching at all the shoulds in my life, I found everything I was ever looking for was right here waiting for me. All I needed to do was learn how to look with my heart.
