You wake one morning in a clearing in the woods. A stream runs off into the trees and in the distance, you see mountains. You have no idea how you got here, or where here is.
What do you do?
Do you sit down and wait for some passerby to rescue you, or do you set out walking in the direction of the high ground, hoping for a better view and a chance of unraveling this mystery?
That sums up the choice that every human is handed at birth: sit tight and survive, or get moving and seek truth?
It's easier to stay still and live the same day over and again. But to truly live means exploring the depths of our soul to continuously create better versions of our self.
