I have to confess that I am still getting the hang of this whole posting thing
While this is not a bad picture and if taken in context with the title of the thread, if kind of fits. However that was not my intent.
It is a common theme with many life style platforms about taking yourself out of your "comfort zone". In fact if you are on LinkedIn, this pops up at least 2 or 3 times a day. I appreciate that this may not be a LinkedIn crowd though there is no reason it may not be.
While this is a rambling and unnecessary intro, my point, when I finally get to it
is this, does taking yourself out of your comfort zone reinforce the values and life that you presently live, post and pre camino, or does it truly lead you to life changing and momentous decisions that reverberate through your life going forward?
I appreciate that there will be many "it's made me kinder, more spiritual and nicer to kittens" but I'm not talking about that. I'm also not talking about coming home, getting divorced or buying that snappy Prius".
What I am asking whether there were profound tangible changes or directions in your life that you took directly relatable to your experience on the Camino(s)?
In my case, I went to Paris and spent 4 years getting my doctorate (that whole bucket list thing) and writing a whole lot of bad books.
And yes, I know we all have different responsibilities and resources but it doesn't mean that we aren't inspired to do new things within the confines of these realities, that change our lives and those around us which we wouldn't have done unless the spark was ignited on the Camino.
Just asking -
