I loved the movie Eat Love Pray but the point was that she traveled the world to simply find what was there the whole time, herself. Enlightenment is simply the level of relation between yourself - the more you know yourself the more you are "in-your-light". When your light is "on" you become aware, joyful, powerful and purposeful. I'm not talking about your favorite color, I'm talking about do you know the real you.I feel that there is no need to travel the world looking for the lacking part, the missing partner, or abandoned dream. You don't have to go to London, Mexico, Paris or India to find it. The totally unique, fabulous gifted YOU is right there sitting in that chair reading this. Are there places on earth that make it easier for us to connect with ourselves, our heart, our passions, our values and our dreams, yes! But, your living room will do just fine too. Don't let an over-priced airline ticket stop you from YOU! You have a life to lead, a dream to achieve, love to give and the world to change and the faster you get OUT of your own way and build a loving and trusting relationship with yourself, the faster that will happen. In all of the world there is only one you with the set of gifts you have (but do you know what your gifts are and are you using them?). Stop trying to be perfect and wait for the perfect time because you are perfect juuuuuuuust how you are and juuuuuuuust how you aren't. Don't ever compromise yourself, nor deny yourself, you are the best gift you can ever give yourself! And know this, you are the only person on this planet that gets you 100% of the time, lucky you! Now get on a mission to know yourself and share your gifts with the world.
