Fitting In

 Some of us use something outside of ourselves in order to “fit in,” however you define fitting in.  It could be clothes, fitness, religion, club memberships, degrees, substances, and whatever, all meant to get us something we think we lack.  None of these things give us any sense of permanent fitting in.  The feeling passes all too quickly.  I have found that some interior work, sometimes working with others or another guide, keeps us on track.  It keeps us working on the insides.  The insides, the heart is where we are somewhat empty, and outside stuff does not fill up the heart at any depth.  And meditation, for instance, is pretty inexpensive, as are recovery meetings for that matter.
