Picture this. Have you ever been all alone walking down a dark & lonely roadway when you come upon a fork in the road? That inevitable...fork in the road...which way do you go. Left or right? You pull out a map of the area that you're traveling in and begin to look at it to figure out the way that you're supposed to go...and then you wake up! Ohhh, now you get it. That nagging feeling that you had been experiencing for a mighty long time was now apparent to you. It's time. It is now time for a change. A change that has been in the making for a long time coming now. Ever since my life took a detour from this thing called "LIFE". It is amazing how thin the line is that is supposed to separate Life and Reality. But if you ask, a lot of people will say that they are one in the same. Yet that is not entirely true. Life is defined as (1) survival or the act of living, (2) growth of the sum of one's experience, and (3) endurance or period of existence. Then you have Reality defined as (1) actual existence, (2) realness, (3) factual basis, and (4) true being. Which boils down to this, to go through life there are certain things that you are SUPPOSED to do in order to move through what is needed to be done to accomplish just the minimal of things for survival such as going to school to get a good job in order to pay bills and take care of your family and to be able to provide life's necessities. But what you don't notice at first is that in order to provide these things in normal order is that the sacrifices that are made at the same time. And these very sacrifices are usually the things within that is what makes us, US. A talent that is given to everyone which is usually artistic or creative or endurance. The things that gives us drive and that overall sense of completion. Maybe its poetry, artistry, or even having the endurance to make us good in a sport. Which is all good, but usually takes a lot of time and patience to get to a certain point to be noticed, and even more time to take it to a level where it could possibly turn into recognition where it could turn into any meaningful and productive career to be able to sustain life's needs and more time to also be able to obtain some of your wants as well. And this is where that thin line comes in at. And usually we have to end up going down the road of just making the decision to do what we have to do and not what we want to do. Because truth be told, living takes some greenbacks, and without them you have no life worth living. So what you are left with is life becoming routine and sedentary. And you will come in contact with those that just settle right in and have no problems with that and live out the rest of there lives...I call that living by blocking things out like it was never there. But, then you have those that end up in a state of confusion because of internal conflict for what they're just settling for instead of happiness from what they yearn for. Thus, this is the place where periods of depression and things of the like starts to develop. And this is because of trying to do what we must do in order to SURVIVE in place of what we yearn to do that will create your HAPPINESS!!! And when you do finally take the time to recognize what is really creating conflict within your soul...Do you decide to take that step to do what is necessary for the your SANITY??? If the answer is yet, then you will next make '1' among the list of few most important and biggest decisions in your life. And this can only be done by coming to grips with all the things that created that source of chaos and conflict inside the very deepest part of your soul. Thus, only being done by taking "A Trip Inside".
