Homeland Shifting: You will always be “A Stranger”!


Have you ever felt too small in a place where you have always longed to integrate in? Have you ever been in a place, where you felt limited? Have you ever been out of your homeland? Have you ever shifted your homeland as if you are shifting your career?


You are born in a land, you have not chosen. You are raised in a home, you have never asked for. You are raised by people, you did not choose. You have been put in a given situation since eternity… since ever. It is an ultimate truth that every extraneous becomes domestic.


At first, when put in an unfamiliar environment, you will feel strange. You will feel unintegrated, unrecognized or extremely recognized. It all starts new and odd and it becomes casual. It never becomes old, you will always feel strange to particular feelings, people, situations, food, and many other details… I believe that the magic of integrating to a specific culture lies in introducing yourself to strange details.



You will always be “a stranger”! After getting used to new strange experiences you either accept or refuse to be part of this culture. You either become part of a new homeland, that you chose, or you go back to the given situation, that you were born in to. Actually, in some cases in order for you to shift your homeland you need: courage, self-love, high consciousness, and an adventurous soul… In other cases, homeland shifting will lead you to self-discovery. You will find your hidden gem, your identity. You will learn the basic rule of life: The Abandonment Law. In other words, you will learn how to live comfortable without the given.



It is only when you feel emptiness, you start to recharge your soul. Always remember that your career, homeland, color, environment, family, and all the given do not really define you. These are all materialist accessorize that contribute to your formation and in order for you to rise you need to abandon them all and re-form again. Recharge your soul… feel emptiness and love your-self by recharging your-self. Be the artist to your own sculpture. Be the colors of your own painting. Be the main character of your own movie. LOVE YOURSELF AS A STRANGER.
