many are called, few are chosen

I think it's safe to say that for every 10 people who answer the call to move to paradise, 7 will turn tail and go back home within their first 2 years. Unless you own a saloon (which I don't) there's not a lot of money to be made in the local economy and property values and rents are terribly inflated. Add to that a hurricane season from June to October, that can get pretty un-nerving, and it's easy to understand why people so soon unravel.
For myself, the solution has been surrender.
Understanding the circumstances, letting go of ego and doing whatever needs to be done.
Our best dreams for a better life call us to paradise but, based on our past actions, it is paradise that chooses who of us may come through the gate.
