Is Ignorance not bliss? 

I have asked myself the latter many times.

Do we choose healing in our lives, or does it choose us? Most of us are catapulted through a life event that changes us forever. Others “awaken” and evolve in a slower, more methodical approach. Overall, I think our soul, or higher-self at some point presses the override button and we are no longer at will to choose what happens next. I don’t believe we’re out driving around thinking, “Hmmm, should I delve into a journey of deep self-discovery, uncovering all of my deepest, darkest wounds?”  “Wait, or should I go shopping?” This is just not how it works! But when it does inevitably present itself, why would anyone want to venture down that path of self-discovery and healing?
