An awakening

Luke 4:24

"I tell you the truth," he (Jesus) continued, "no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

Although the truth has been in front of me for a long time as I’ve known this scripture all too well even in my teens, I’m not one to quote scripture anymore but this statement rings true still not only for myself but for one of my dear friends as well. Not that we are prophets but our vision differs from that of the people in this town. The feeling of belonging, the need for belonging and the sense of unwelcome in this big small town I live in. This area, place is simply not in sync to my vibration, my thoughts, hopes, or aspirations. Even looking at the job market or career opportunities there is simply nothing of interest here, absolutely nothing that I feel I fit into. If you are in the medical field or legal field than this a great place to be. I have truly longed to leave this town for so long but have been mistakenly opposing my vibration given certain obligations and peer-viewed expectations.   Many are grateful to be here and that is fine for those. I simply refuse to accept the life that permeates from my initial surroundings. But for some that want to move forward with their lives beyond this reality in front of us. There is so much in this world worth exploring, people to meet, and places to see. There is so much more beyond those horizons and boundaries of fear. Why slave to an environment that does nothing for you in return? Its the perspective as it seems. I feel there is more to discover. As we progress (hopefully progress), we find that life is about self-discovery and even some of the insignificant changes can merit growth and new perspectives. Sometimes we simply need a jolt to awaken the vision of new horizons around us or what the possibilities are. I would say that jolt has come. As Hicks says, “Waking up to who YOU are” and not waking up to what your parents, friends, coworkers or even your living environment dictates. I look ahead, beyond the short term, focused on the habits, practices and values, “sure of the value, eager for the experience, knowledgeable of the guidance and certain of the outcome.”Abraham
