When the day comes that you realize that what you have been pursuing is meaningless, it is time to turn and look back at what your life has been trying to show you. The answer is not out there somewhere ahead, the answer is within you and has always been.  Your life has left you clues all along the way but you in your hurry rushed past them, ignoring the important for the unimportant. At times you caught a glimpse of meaning in what was happening but all too soon you raced on to the next big thing- a romance, a job, a trip, a new hobby, a new passion; whatever it was that promised you a dream. A dream of yourself as more than who you are- smarter perhaps, more talented, richer, greater, whatever it was that gave you the thrill of the hunt. When one path failed, you quickly caught another whiff of potential success and off you ran again, only to land up in the same place. Again.  On and on you went until you arrived, back at yourself. If you are now finally ready, it is time to be still and know that you are not and never have been the one in charge. There is a part of you that knows and knew all along, your observant self who has watched you run about, ever on the search, knowing that soon enough your search would end and you would recognize that all paths lead back to you.
