Law 23 on the Freedom of Moving Away

This is a simple law of nature, but one which is very handy:

When you move to a new place, you have a window of expanded freedom.

That’s it.

Somehow, when we move to a new place — a different city, a different apartment, a different country — a window of time opens up in which it becomes more possible to make changes. It will be, for a time, easier to do new things or to do things in a new way.

This window of time is not forever, but it’s as if for a time you leave your emotional baggage behind. For a time, you’re less constrained by your past habits. For a time, life is again new, more as it appeared when we were children, fresh and with infinite possibilities.

Do you think that, by moving, you will escape your present difficulties? You do? Well, for a time, it’s true.

Knowing this important secret of the universe, go forth and prosper.
