To Change what is Out There, You Must First Change what is In Here

It can be very hard to understand the only way to change what is out there -- events, circumstances and relationships with others -- is to first change what is in here… wishes, fears, internal dialogues and relationship with oneself.

The reason this is difficult is because we have been conditioned to look without to validate within. But haven’t you noticed that this does not work? If so, that means there has got to be another way. There is always another way.

Let’s take money for instance. I bet 90% of people would say, “If I had more money then I would be happy.” My friend, it is not money that will make you happy. You are looking for security. You are looking for freedom. You are looking for a way which to feel abundant, both in yourself and in your surroundings. You are looking for confidence to follow your heart’s desire. You are looking for fulfillment. You are looking for love and support. Cold hard cash is not going to give this to you.

Have you ever wondered why, if God is so great, that He just doesn’t bestow a million dollars on each of us? God is greater than great; He’s one smart cookie. He knows very well that your soul’s desire is to develop within all of the characteristics (and more) that we spoke about above. Then when the outer world catches up with our inner world, the success is much more appreciated and accepted as an enhancement to what we already have. You want a compliment to your life, not an instead of.

You need to go within and find out what it is you truly want and why. Trace the whys until you get to the root of what you want. Search within until you find out what is holding you back. Find ways in which to give yourself the security, freedom, abundance, confidence, fulfillment, love and support you are seeking. Connect with the highest power and learn how to work with Him.

If I have left you with a feeling of “HOW, HOW, HOW?!!!!” that is a great sign. You just keep asking yourself and God “HOW, HOW, HOW!!!!” and your answers will come. Usually it comes right after you have finally gotten to the point of frustration and said “Forget it, I give up!” Truly letting go is necessary. It gets you out of the way, and opens the door for God to come in.
