The way the world is it is often "One Size Fits ALL" and often you feel uncomfortable in various ways as you move through life from Childhood to Adulthood. So, unless you can "Customize" your life you will feel uncomfortable throughout your whole lives with your lives.
It isn't easy to branch out on your own. It is a path often fraught with danger, disappointment and confusion. But, I think a good example of what I mean might look something like this.
Imagine you are on a tour bus in a foreign country. As you are driving along a beautiful highway in Europe, for example, you spy a place that you have seen in your dreams and you realize you just must get off this bus at any cost and simply "BE THERE" at this place. You feel your whole life won't work right unless you do this. So, you get up and walk forward in the bus and the tour bus operator tourguide says something like, "Please don't stand up while the bus is moving!" And You say, "I really need to get off the bus." The Tour Bus driver says "that simply isn't allowed. We are responsible to take you to the next destination." And you say, "Will there be a stop for lunch soon?"
And luckily, the tour guide says, "Oh Yes. "We will stop in about ten minutes from now for lunch."
So, when the bus stops you simply gather your belongings into your backpack and leave the tour. Since you know when the bus will be where on your itinerary you will just have to take a local bus through the night to meet up with them again, (If you choose to). Then you take a local bus back to where you knew you had to be. On that beach that you knew you just had to be on is someone you have been waiting to meet your whole life. They live nearby and they invite you to their home to have dinner with them. You have waited your whole life for this day and if you hadn't gotten off the bus when you felt this amazing "Something" you never would have met this person you waited your whole life to meet.
Life is often like this. If you don't follow your instincts and intuitions often you just don't survive or meet those "Miracle People" that completely change your life. Whether that person is a good friend, a lover, the mother or father of your children or whoever this person is like a Guru or teacher or friend you will never meet them if you just stay on the bus of your life. You have to "Get off the Bus" and find your own path to actually have a life you can stand to live!
And this isn't something you only do once in your life. To some degree you have to be ready to do this every single day of your lives. Happy Eternity!
