The Outside-In Confusion

The joy, peace, love, and contentment we seek to experience is our true nature, that is how we come to know and feel at home when we experience them. Michael Neill says “…conditioned from birth to believe in the myth of an outside-in world, we assume the path back to …joy and peace of mind must be through getting a better job or partner or becoming a better person …the harder we work on …to change the way we feel, the more distant we become from our true self…”

The Inside-Out Reality

Life flows from the inside out not from the outside in. All the things we seek outside there, our mind has tied to a feeling that is already in you. I once was obsessed with financial security, I tried so many things and endured so much stress, made bad decisions till I was close to financial ruin. I then realised I didn’t need those things to be OK, my true riches were in me and if I was present to that I could add so much value to those around me.

Stop Digging, You Are Ok Already

To look to become what you already are; requires you to deny it and start looking somewhere else, a guarantee that you will never find it. Nothing out there can make you OK, the rules you make will just keep on changing and you will deny yourself the permission to experience what you already are until that rule is met.
