“Do you have everything?”

“I think so.”

“Be careful.”

“Don’t worry.  I’ll be fine.”

When we go out into the world for the first time without the “safety net” of our parents, we step firmly onto the legs that have grown over the years.  We are no longer a “child” but rather have transitioned into an “adult.”  This transition is not one based on years of age, but one based on the readiness of the child to explore the world – alone.

Exploration is a natural instinct in humans.  Much like animals have instincts to hunt and to survive, humans have instincts as well.  In this case, the instinct to explore one’s surroundings grows stronger during the teenage years.   For some, they use that time of exploration of the external world, to find their inner-self buried deep within their core.  The challenges of exploring an unknown world by one’s self often leads to opportunities to explore one’s inner self.

Open your eyes, and see the world for the first time.  It is a wonderfully beautiful place.  The joys of others in cultures unlike your own, are often so simple in comparison to the joys of those around your home.  Be open to whatever it is that excites you, and follow the instinct of your need to explore.  You came to this lifetime for the experience of a physical life.  Live that life, and you will find your passions.

One of the dangers of a young person going out into the world, is the tendency to “prove themselves” to others – in particular to their childhood guardians.  However, the wise person knows what they know without needing to demonstrate that knowing.   Be the wise person as you venture out into the world, while keeping the balance between extremes.

When we explore the world, we open ourselves up into to finding what we have been looking for all along, buried deep within yourself!
