“Every move to a new school, job, or city opens the chance to stop being what we were and to start being what we can become.”
“The journey is a process of self-discovery and self-integration, of maintaining balance and harmony in our lives.”
“As with any process of growth and change, a journey can be confusing and painful, but it brings opportunities to develop confidence, perspective and a new way of being in our world.”
“Understanding the Journey pattern can help us understand the literature we read, the movies we see, and the experiences which shape our life.”
REMEMBER: “The journey is a single process, an individual adventure towards growth and transformation.”
