On the Road from Main Street to High Street pt. 2

Fear, pride, hatred, anxiety, doubt, hesitation, close-mindedness, unhealthy relationships, and possessions…check. Now that I have all of the things I am leaving behind together, I am glad I put together a list for the things I need to move on from. Love, openness, nobility…wait.
I find myself putting together a list of what I need to finally make this move to my High Street Estate. I am finding that all of the things I need for this move, I already possess. As I search through all of my things, and sort through what I need to throw away, I am actually finding what I need. They are dusty as hell but highly functional.
I am beginning to use them in addition to other valuable findings. They are very fun to use. They are fun because they are still new. I found things I have not used since I was a child. The only difference is now I am aware of when to use them, whereas a child I operated freely.
I take a minute in thought; “I have all I need for this move. What is stopping me from placing my permanent residence there?” I know I put fear and doubt on my trash list but it seems that analyzing still carries the characteristics of what I left behind. I need a certain level of income, a particular partner, status; is that what I need to move on?
“Be who you are and receive what you need” This is what I was told by the High Street tour guides. I quickly learned that everyone who lives on High Street is willing to give a tour whenever asked. On my tour, I was given information that was vital and gave me the confidence to commit to this move. I was shown the beautiful homes, quality possessions, and I was told, no one moved here with what I see. Quality of living improves in time and the tone of the homes always matches the energy of the resident. Meek and humble beginnings is a reality of all who live there.
Thinking back on some of those old possessions that I cleansed myself from, I noticed that anxiety was difficult to release. Anxiety always attached itself closest with items, morals, and values that offered perceived safety. Main Street offers benefits, scheduled and assisted living and no unwarranted attention. The comfort given by Main Street limits the overall impact created by those who live there.
I create impacts felt by the world, built by the individual. When I shared core values with my friends and mentors on High Street they immediately agreed I am ready to make the move. They confirmed that anxiety was highly present and was shed last, right before they made their final move to High Street. They also confirmed that what I was feeling is normal.
I am setting up shop. I made the move. Not too much looks different but I feel different. I am connected with a higher purpose. I feel most fulfilled giving back. I no longer spend time doing things that I do not feel good doing and that do not help me grow. I am a lot more forgiving with others because I have learned to forgive myself. In times of perceived failure, I simply reconnect with my commitments and begin. “The gift of the present can only be received NOW!”
On this road, I live in gratitude. I watch and appreciate everything in my life!

  1. Wow, this is powerful, Drew. Your best post so far!

    When people ask me how I traveled the world alone for over a year, I tell them: “the hardest part of traveling is making the decision to go”. It sounds like for you, the hardest part is done. By bravely making the move from Main Street to High Street, you’re paving the path for others to follow. You are an inspiration.
