Thought behind the thought
To embark on a new journey is probably something that excites all of us. The anticipation of discovering new things, the sense of adventure it brings, and the enrichment and satisfaction that follows! Every road takes us through a new terrain, every turn opens our eyes to a new dimension and every obstacle brings out qualities that we never thought we possessed.
And the most interesting journey that we can make is probably the one inside our own mind! For, that is a place full of undiscovered hills and valleys, streams of reason and imagination and forests of feelings. What could be more fascinating than accompanying ourselves on a journey across the landscapes of our mind!
