How it Starts

Maybe you've heard it said, "it's not how you start it's how you finish." Which is 100 percent true but also sometimes how I start is a disaster and sets the whole tone for the journey. This story didn't start well and it started well before the son asked for his inheritance and left the father. It started small, subtle, and internal. Maybe with a little dissatisfaction, maybe he started comparing his life with his brothers, maybe he was romanticizing life outside the house, had some unresolved frustration or was indulging private fantasies. What it was let him to a point where he made a decision. It always is a decision that we make after indulging the internal that leads to all the rest.
