Just remember the words of Dorothy [and Glinda] from the Wizard of OZ when things the seas are choppy:

Love ya. Daria........

 
Dorothy asks Glinda, the Good Witch, "Oh, will you help me? Can you help me?",
"You don't need to be helped any longer," a smiling Glinda answers."You've always had the power to go back to Kansas."
"I have?"
"Then why didn't you tell her before?" Scarecrow demands.
"Because she wouldn't have believed me. She had to learn it for herself."
The Tin Man leans forward and asks, "What have you learned, Dorothy?"
"Well, I . . . I think that is . . . that it wasn't enough just to want to see Uncle Henry and Auntie Em . . . and that if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard; because if it isn't here, I never really lost it to begin with."
 
This is what Dorothy learned:
 
1.. We have the power. We have Ruby Red slippers to transport us to Kansas, to bring about the Edenic state, or to create our heart's desire.
2.. Witches and cyclones, while bad, can be a means for spiritual growth.
3.. We must learn for ourselves. Truth is not given so much as it is realized. Look within. You do not have to go off in search of a mystic or seek truth from a variety of exotic religions. Truth is found in your own back yard.
4.. Reality is very simple. We create our own reality. We tend to make it more complicated than it need be. The simple universal fact is that, if we believe it to be so, it is.
..5.. There's no place like home. The kingdom of heaven is not a place; but a condition.

Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much, wisdom is humble that he knows no more.

I do not know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be truly happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.

If there is something you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
