too often we think the answers are out there, and we are trying to search for it. and this is such a big lesson for me, thinking as a dad, to tell my kids that, "hey, you are never lost and the answers are already inside you."
Yeah, we’re always out there searching, aren’t we? Maybe it feels like it’d be “too easy” if we already had all the answers. It took me a while to realize that the answers are actually inside us because what we’re searching for outside is already within. I think this paradox doesn't make understanding this idea any easier 😅
When I was a kid and heard, "hey, you're never lost, the answers are already inside you," I didn’t fully get it. I kind of understood, but it felt like there was a piece of the puzzle missing. I think that piece is realizing we’re not separate from everything around us—we’re actually part of it. But it’s tough to see that clearly when we grow up in a world that constantly teaches us otherwise.
Love this perspective, Zhenya. "Follow what feels alive, not what “defines” you." - saved in my notebook quotes to inspire me the most for when I need an extra boost. ;)
"You were never lost." isn't it what all we need to know?
Right? I feel like knowing and understanding this one thing in one’s life is such a big relief.

Thank you, Alexandra! :)
I really should start a notebook for quotes too.
Let's go! :) 🙌
