'Escapism' Doesn't Work

Sometimes people rearrange their lives in a way that does not fulfill their expectations. They change the old environment for a new one that they believe will be more exciting, rewarding or uplifting. Sometimes they are not disappointed, and realize that they had made the right decision in daring to face the unknown. More often, though, their expectations are not met because the reason for leaving the old road was not the correct one. The most common incorrect reason is the attempt to 'escape' from an unpleasant situation. Escapism, fear, denial, refusal are the starting point that usually lead to discontent and failure. Moving to a new country, city, job or environment simply because one 'couldn't stand' the previous one is not the solution to their problem.
