“You cannot get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.” ~Ernest Hemingway. If moving is forced upon you, that’s a really good reason to move, however, if you’re moving to escape aspects of your current life, moving is not going to help you because you bring you with you everywhere you go.
Quite a number of people claim they hate their current positions, or they hate the people they’re with, but in the majority of cases they have attracted those situations because of their own attitude. They may not be aware of how their behaviour is creating their lives, and therefore assume it’s everybody else’s fault their lives suck.
Change is not brought about by a change of location, change is brought about by changing your attitude towards the life you have because if your problems are driving you to your next destination, they are going with you.
If find contentment where you are before you move, you’re bringing contentment to your next destination, and you never know, you may find happiness within you on your journey.
