Introduction to the Pilgrim’s Journey

Introduction to the Pilgrim’s Journey
The Pulpit Rock - Preikestolen, Norwegen

Welcome! To the Page that connects my story line as a whole, taking my experiences from before and revive them through words while also adding the happenstances of the Now.
Since many of my other entries on different sides are about our inner life, our Mind and Health and how to make those blossom from within, this Page instead is about the third type of those, let's call it 'nurturing substances'. I'm distinguishing between food products as you can buy them in any store or the ones that grow from beneath, that fill our tummies and build up our body in its material structure. On the other side there is also some food for our Mind. It's the content and our day to day mental activities that are supposed to nurture that head of ours. And the third one, just as an essential pillar as the other two, is about the Experience. In some way this is content, too, and in some ways it's more or less the result of the balance when bodily and mental health unite, but still I believe this to need its own chapter.
As we refine our mentality towards the world in the security of our homes, looking inwards, reflecting and growing from what's already there and what we recall to be ourselves, we might realise that all we are at the end are a few nice memories, our knowledge, our skills. It's our body and our mind and it's up to those two to decide where they will lead this earthly being, this Self of ours. Because there is a world out there waiting for every single one of us. Sure, many will miss out on that and many never even have the opportunity to try themselves in this world. But why would those capable to do it, not go and try it out? Searching for the adventures that await all of us as soon as we step out of our safety zone, our good old home?
I could spend a few lines on how sorry I am for those who have never been in the world traveling, but on the other hand they are blessed to not personally know what they're missing out on. So, if you as the striving being reading this, are still looking for a way to see and feel it all and you might just lack a little bit of inspiration, courage and perspectives on how to manage it, I might be able to show you around on this path of mine. A winded and stony ‘wood’ way never knowing where it will actually lead. And maybe this is the one and only way to actually find. By not giving up the search early and flee into the security a job and an existing societal structure could give you, but to stick with the journey until the world has you at the spot it needs you, with the people that you need. A place where your deepest potential finds its roots; where your ideas can strive and where your presence is most needed.
You haven't been there yet and you perhaps don't know a single person of those best friends of yours, your soul mates, which will join you along the path. But that's no problem because they are all there. Waiting for you to find them. And as much as I would love to, but I can't just tell you stories about the path and chatting about the action of walking, if I don't clearly let you know that there is no way of just thinking of those actions... the one and only way is to get up and start the journey. To stand up and walk! To see for yourself, to experience on your own, to live the one Life that was gifted to only you. So don't get too drawn in into this content of mine, don't consume the stories of another Life and forget to live your own. Only take a small sip of inspiration, correct your posture, stand up and walk straight ahead.
It's really just up to you, what life you prefer. If you can live with the excitement to sometimes not know where you will be the next day. How well you do, communicating with feet and hands and how far your social skills can bring you. How much comfort you need to keep going.
Don't get distracted of whether you think this sounds scary or most exciting, because nothing is just one or the other. It's this marvellous mix that embodies Life itself, its Ups and Downs and most often especially traveling makes you learn the most about yourself, your strengths and flaws. And this personal growth you're living through while being on such an adventure, will never find enough pages to be adequately noted. So don't mind this attempt of mine but rather note your own path for the sake of yourself.
If the first step is taken, it's highly unlikely for the first of your travel journeys to be the last one. No, this changes your Life and especially your mind. It makes you aware of what's possible. What would keep you from repeating such an act over and over throughout your Life?
The world could be like a home... 'How to get there?', you ask. Well, open your Mind. For Starters. But note that nothing is more difficult or more simple to do than this. It's our eternal mission one could say.
You have doubts? I get it. The world is not a safe place, money is our greatest enemy, you have responsibilities and we're all hanging on a ticking clock. This ticking clock, our inner Life time, determines what we can do and what we can't. If you realise that you for yourself aren't able to perform a travel in your current situation then only remind yourself, that you can't have everything in that moment. But what you can earn from the process of time is your own will. An idea and a vision that blossoms from within you. You are not supposed to jump up and start the travels in this moment, but with an open mind you're supposed to take inspiration in, nurture it over time by watering it with your interest and over time you work towards the situation of Life you need, to make your dreams come true. It's a seed that could start living in the moment... weirdly crooked words spoken by a twenty year old. What does the author mean?
I guess I want to tell you, that this is possible. It really is. Traveling is real and everyone can do it! But it might take time, it might take a lot of preparation and will power, it might even need a little bit of coincidence. Let's hope not! But if you have the dream, if this is your desire and you really want to see the world, then there are more than a million ways on how to get there and probably 8 billion people to do it together with. Trust me or trust yourself, whatever you prefer.
Just a short spoiler; I once heard a young person say that they would start studying and working now so that they would have the money in time when they reach retirement to do their world tour then. I got a cramp of the brain back then and later realised that my mind isn't as open as I thought. I was't able to cope with this idea and am sitting here now to somehow unwind a certain type of thinking. The type of thinking that is about work and money.
I will delete those lines as soon as money makes me happy, but until then I will keep fighting it with the sharpest of my swords, my good old words. Enjoy!

It will all happen very quick, so watch out! Before you even know any better, you're out there like a toddler taking insecure step after another, until we're running through the world breathing in what it actually feels like to be alive, to be there and live out the privilege we own to see this planets beauty and to meet its wonderful people. But for this we have to create something special, something unique. We literally have to become creative and dream bigger than ever before.
We are onto something here, and hallelujah we're not alone! When reading this, I can promise to you that you never have been less alone. Connected through these words there are masses of people feeling and thinking the same as you are right now. Don't be shy, go on and connect with them. Get inspiration, exchange human values and stories and link for the sake of a greater future.
You just stumbled over the Path of a movement and Life is about to change, if you let it happen.

Take a seat and feel welcomed to the Family of Gen.ZM
