Distant Shores

Have you ever climbed a hill high above a town, looked down at all the small houses and people busily buzzing back and forth along the streets, and felt like suddenly, all your everyday worries seem pretty small and insignificant? Sometimes what you really need is to step back from your everyday life and problems you are having and look at them from a greater distance. Take stock of your priorities in life. Does the life you live reflect them? How do you feel about the direction your life is taking right now? Are you acting towards others in a way that reflects your values?

You don’t need to have all the answers to all the issues in your life. Sometimes, it’s just important to ask yourself the necessary questions and then just let the answers form gently with time, while being kind to yourself. Take the time and space you need and look kindly and lovingly at yourself and your life.
