Imagine that you made a decision to move out of your home and leave your country. Your destination would be a country that you knew nothing about, not even the language, customs, or culture. In addition to that you would have no memory of who you are or where you came from.

Furthermore, in your new home you would have to start completely over again. With only a small few clues, and guides to help you to remember who you are and where you came from. Who would possibly want to do something like that, and what benefit would be obtained from such an experience?

This is a journey that we have all embarked on, which is the journey of life as we know it. Each person in our collective humanity goes through life not really knowing or understanding their origin.

Which is to cease asking questions about who we are, where we are from, our purpose, etc. If such a day arises where we find ourselves no longer asking these questions then our growth as a collective or as an individual is then stifled.

Moreover, in the journey of self discovery we are given the opportunity to discover a magnificent array of emotional experiences such as passion, desire, frustration, joy, failure, and success. The scenarios that bring about these emotions are tools that help us to discover who we are, and what we are capable of, our strengths, and the power that lies deep down inside of us all.

It's important to note that this journey takes place every moment of our lives, and in order to keep a constant progression of forward movement, we must always ask questions about ourselves without ceasing. Questions such as: why am I here, why is it that the same situation is constantly developing in my life, what is the influence of this person in my life showing me about me, and the millions of other questions we ask ourselves every
