Sometimes, when you live a life at such a wild edge, an extreme edge of experience, you can come back into the world - if you come back at all - with some essence from that experience that people find useful.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am a big believer that eventually everything comes back to you. You get back what you give out.
When I think back on it, it's amazing what happens to us as we move out into the world.
Coming back to your native land after an absence of many years is a surprisingly unsettling business, a little like waking from a long coma. Time, you discover, has wrought changes that leave you feeling mildly foolish and out of touch.
It's jarring to go from one amazing experience to another that feels ordinary. I don't quite know how to explain it. You see the uniqueness of what you've been doing, and disassociating yourself from it and going back to the 'normal' life is tough.
It's really important to go back to where you come from.
We're very lucky to be able to go back and reclaim something that was a very special part of all our lives.
If you look to your past or even your present to see why you are here or what your purpose is, you may get stuck in a limited view of yourself. Instead, look beyond your years here on earth, reconnect with the divine, and bring forth your soul's legacy into the present moment.
Sometimes I think back to everything I've been through, and I wonder, 'Man, how the hell did I get here?'
We have to get back to the beauty of just being alive in this present moment.
Because if you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward.
