Take a cruise. Fly far off to another part of the world. Go into the mountains and find a cabin miles from civilization. No matter where we go, we can’t run away from our self or our problems. We can repress our reality. We can deny our reality. That doesn’t change our reality. Doing the hard work and means taking an in depth look at ourselves and acknowledging the darkness within. There’s darkness within each of us. When we come to grips with it we’ll learn to shine the light on it. If we ignore it, it will destroy our happiness. It takes courage to face one’s self. Sometimes we need professional help. Sometimes a good friend who has the courage to speak the truth to us helps. For those who dare to not run away and instead have the courage to dive deeply into themselves, the rewards are enormous.
