"Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore."
We like familiarity don’t we? People, places and things that we have knowledge of or have encountered or seen bring us some form of comfort, safety, security and an element of control. I think of how many folks stay stuck in relationships, jobs, geographically etc. simply because they are familiar with their surroundings. For some it means giving up control of their life and to trust in fate. Sometimes the unfamiliar is just so cold, aloof, unfriendly, and leaves that empty homesick feeling in the pit of our stomach.
-French writer Andre Gide
