From the movie Eat, Pray, Love, this would have to be my favourite quote.  It perfectly matches what I'm experiencing right now with this upcoming trip to Bali and the great unknown...

“I’ve come to believe that there exists in the universe something I call ‘The Physics of The Quest’ – a force of nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity or momentum. And the rule of Quest Physics maybe goes like this: If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting (which can be anything from your house to your bitter old resentments) and set out on a truth-seeking journey (either externally or internally), and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher, and if you are prepared – most of all – to face (and forgive) some very difficult realities about yourself….then truth will not be withheld from you. Or so I’ve come to believe.”

I also came across this from Erika Liodice www.beyondthegray.wordpress.com and again it describes perfectly what is going on for me right now...

"I believe that we each encounter these types of gambles in our lives. And I think that’s why following a dream can feel so difficult, because it usually involves a big risk, a giant step outside your comfort zone and an unfaltering belief in yourself.
But I also think that when we’re brave enough to listen to our hearts and accept the challenges presented to us, the impossible becomes possible".
