Physics of the Quest

I’ve been living this quote for the past 20 years. I can confirm it is a truth:

“If you’re brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting,
which can be anything from your house to bitter, old resentments,
and set out on a truth-seeking journey,
either externally or internally,
and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue
and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher
and if you are prepared, most of all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself,
then the truth will not be withheld from you.”

Last paragraph from “Eat, Pray, Love.”
