Journeys Within

"The only journey is the journey within."-Rainer Maria Rilke

This quote is written by German poet Rainer Maria Rilke. Intriguingly, the more you think about this quote, the more true is seems. No matter how colossal the issue may seem, you will have at least a chance is you set your mind to it and try. The quest will only be fulfilled if the quester wants to finish it. Most of the battles everyone face are, usually, "inner" battles.

This lost, faraway painting is by Merrin Wasterink. This painting is a wonderful, expressive way of explaining the quote above. The boat represents you, the vastness of water, the rest of the world. To live among this 'world', you will have to take charge of the boat, take charge of you, so to speak. Once you have your 'oars', you may successfully begin the 'journey'. Even after the first challenge, you will still have to battle your doubtful, skeptical mind from giving up.
