:: "Means Of Self-Discovery That Don’t Involve Traveling." by Maritna Fouquet ::


Self discovery is important and many times, does not require an expensive plane ticket but rather, a willingness to recognize how we get ourselves into inescapable ruts that taint our perspective of the world. 

When we surround ourselves with people who share our culture and goals, we lose sight of the bigger picture. While international travel can certainly help to break out of the blinding structure of our daily lives, the crux of self-discovery is to experience something outside of our norm — which is certainly not limited to international travel. This does not require a passport, but rather just an open mind. 

The present isn't indicative of the future. Things are likely to change and anything is possible. 

Once we realize what we're thinking without outside influence, we can get to the foundation of who we are.

Sometimes it just takes hearing something new or something we haven't heard in awhile to get us to realize our own misconceptions. 

Anchoring yourself in an environment outside of your own gives immense perspective on reality. Upon realizing how other people have different agendas and value different things than you do, you’ll cultivate a new, expanded life perception.
