A House Is Not A . . .

I used to travel quite a bit, and every time I came back, I noticed something: you see your life differently when you return home.

For me, “home base” is a refuge. It doesn’t matter where I’ve been or what I’ve done — coming home feels good . . . unless it’s not really a home.

A home has a heartbeat. A house is just a place to sleep.

So ask yourself: how do you feel where you live? If you can’t wait to get out of the house, that’s a sign — you’re living in a structure, not a home.

People who don’t feel at home become searchers. They look outside themselves for that cozy feeling. They chase things, places, achievements — hoping one of them will finally make them feel full. But you can’t truly arrive anywhere if you’re renting space in your own body.

At some point, we all come to a crossroads: keep wandering . . . or finally come home.

Wandering is easy. Just keep doing what you’re doing.

Coming home takes a shift.

First, a shift in perspective — seeing yourself as enough. When you realize there’s nothing missing in you, you can take the next step.

Step two is shifting your awareness inward . . . finding that quiet, peaceful place that’s always been waiting for you. You get there by climbing out of your head for a moment.

That backseat driver in your mind — the one whispering you’re not enough — will never guide you home. But when you notice that voice isn’t you, when you create a little space between its thoughts, home starts to appear.

And in that space, you finally feel it: the comfort, the acceptance, the sense that you are — and always have been — enough.

All the best,

John
