So how is it possibly true that traveling changed my life and I didn&#8217;t go anywhere?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I love taking trips, traveling the world, seeing magnificent places, and exploring other cultures.  This is how traveling the world changed my life for the better, but the one trip I never anticipated would be the most rewarding, I did from home!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Marcel Proust<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Is she talking about travel from home via television?  To be honest, I have recently become a dedicated fan of the Netflix series, <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/81016995\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Restaurants on the Edge<\/a>. I think it is everything a television show should be, and a beautiful way to travel vicariously while experiencing change that impacts lives for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show hosts take us on a beautiful journey.  They take time to understand the unique wonder of the individual places they feature. Then, they take something that&#8217;s not so wonderful, in some cases, just short of collapse, and turn it into something beautiful. I get wrapped up in the show, joyous as the people on the show celebrate the new place&#8217;s uniqueness and life-changing results.  With them, I quietly celebrate the pride, love and joy that comes from uncovering possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"899\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.journeyofaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/thin-2902686_1920-beach-walkway-by-evgeniT-at-pixabay-899x600.jpg\" alt=\"how traveling changed my life delightfully with the Master Key Experience\" class=\"wp-image-1245 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.journeyofaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/thin-2902686_1920-beach-walkway-by-evgeniT-at-pixabay-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.journeyofaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/thin-2902686_1920-beach-walkway-by-evgeniT-at-pixabay-899x600.jpg 899w, https:\/\/www.journeyofaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/thin-2902686_1920-beach-walkway-by-evgeniT-at-pixabay-944x630.jpg 944w, https:\/\/www.journeyofaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/thin-2902686_1920-beach-walkway-by-evgeniT-at-pixabay-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.journeyofaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/thin-2902686_1920-beach-walkway-by-evgeniT-at-pixabay.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 899px) 100vw, 899px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-md-font-size\">I love how the hosts are respectful of the cultures they visit. I think they set the example of how traveling, with a sense of purpose and community, can change lives. I find it extremely rewarding to watch how they listen to the owners and really HEAR their concerns. Now there&#8217;s a habit many of us could adopt. The hosts skillfully hone in on the owners&#8217; hopes and dreams. Then, like magic, they help those hopes and dreams come to life. One of the first steps they take is to help the owners release the mental cement that holds them back..<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2>How traveling changed my life without having to leave home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Watching the show reminds me of the experiences I&#8217;ve observed and lived through the <a href=\"https:\/\/masterkey.vision\/day\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Master Key Experience. (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Master Key Experience.<\/a>  Back when I first joined the course, I saw myself as one of those &#8220;failing&#8221; restaurants.  I had a LOT of cement between me and trusting people to help me get where I wanted to go.  Now, years later, I&#8217;m even more grateful.  As I look back, I see how they took me even further than I originally thought I could go! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/masterkey.vision\/day\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Master Key Experience<\/a> offers &#8220;guides&#8221;, like the host team on the show, that are trained and certified to work effectively and respectfully with any of the members.  Your hopes and dreams are sacred and these people honor that in a way I&#8217;ve not seen or experienced before.  Most surprising, they really care that you achieve them!  As a student, I had regular access to the actual people, a true hands-on experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Jennifer Lee<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Gently prodding, <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.journeyofaday.com\/week-15-love-equals-success\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">pointing out the obvious<\/a> (that I was on my own biggest obstacle), my guides encouraged me, helped me, gave me the space I needed, fully supported me until I began to create a life that was MEASURABLY happier.  I learned to transpose my life into a life of freedom, unlike I ever knew previously.  Instead of just talking about what I want, I GOT what I wanted, and continue to do so.  They nudged me onto the greatest travel adventure of all, my own personal heroine&#8217;s journey.  And I&#8217;m still going&#8230; and growing, traveling on the journey and changing my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.journeyofaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sea-3718343_1920-by-comfreak-at-Pixabay-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.journeyofaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sea-3718343_1920-by-comfreak-at-Pixabay-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.journeyofaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sea-3718343_1920-by-comfreak-at-Pixabay-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.journeyofaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sea-3718343_1920-by-comfreak-at-Pixabay-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.journeyofaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sea-3718343_1920-by-comfreak-at-Pixabay-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.journeyofaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sea-3718343_1920-by-comfreak-at-Pixabay.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>Even my trips to work daily mark traveling that changed my life<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But of course, I had to do the work.
