Poet Rainer Maria Rilke wrote, "The only journey is the one within."

What a profound truth this is! And this is what therapy is all about.
I believe taking up this journey within does so much for us.

*It paves the way for our growth and healing.
*It allows us the opportunity to free ourselves from unhealthy life patterns.
*And through it, we can open the door to living life in each moment as it happens. And that is the most important. As Eckart Tolle so beautifully implores us, "Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have".

Our emotional and psychological health, and the quality of our relationships with others are dependent upon us having the courage to take up this journey. And seeking therapy is a great first step (and a bold one in that).

So I encourage you today to take the first step on your journey within, even if you feel where it will lead you is unknown. Because where it will lead to is you...the real you.
