I've just spent months (perhaps it is years) trawling through a labyrinth of 'self help' sites. Everything from breaking free of my old inhibiting habits to how to make 6 or 7 figure incomes.
The internet is awash with good and bad ideas. Well intended advice, well researched advice, basic home-grown advice, strongly opinionated advice, 'follow me, I have the answer' advice... a never ending flow of ideas, possibilities, opinions, cleverness.
To suggest that I'm addiction to this kind of research is slightly true. One link leads to another, which leads to another, which amazingly opens up a whole store house of other ideas.
Lately, I've wondered what I'm really looking for.
I'm also wondering whether I've got closer to the answer or further away.
The sneaking suspicion that I've forgotten how to sit in a quiet space and hear my own voice in the midst of this cacophony of jungle-net sounds, is slowing emerging.
Is it time to delete and be still?
Is it time to hear and learn to trust my own voice?
Is it time to intuit my own meaning?

The Accidental Foreigner
I’ve spent a long time trying to get to the core of what I wanted to say….in print, on the web, in person…….. In person is so much easier - it’s in a conversation. A flow, even.
In print suggests that I already have a theme, a method, a known audience….and most importantly, it suggests that what I have to say is of value. But then again, the internet is awash in people with something to say.
But in reality, my theme is quite simple. What does in mean to be a foreigner and how can I maximize my full potential as a person who is co-existing in a world not native to me?
