The Inside Job of Changing the World

When we desire change in our world, it's easy to get confused and believe that changing what we see outside of us is the answer. We can spend so much time, energy, money and life force trying to create change outside of us. But if our inner work is neglected, sadly none of that change will last.

Because the key to lasting change is found by starting within.

If you want more Unity in the world, start by addressing where you're divided within yourself. If you want more Love in the world, shine light upon where you reject, shame, and harm yourself. If you want more Peace in the world, hold yourself accountable for where you create drama, suffering, and chaos in your own life. If you want more Compassion in the world, address your own tendencies to judge, teach others a lesson, and withhold forgiveness from yourself and others.

For when you know yourself in this way and can truly embody the solution to the World's problems, that is walking the walk so you can talk the talk. That is BEING the change you wish to see in the World. That is being the key to creating ripples of positive change that will benefit generations to come long after you've left the Earth. And honestly, when you eventually learn to walk the walk on a daily basis, no words will be required. Because your energetic presence, your embodiment, and your integrity will already have spoken volumes.

So if you want to fulfill your life's mission and purpose of leaving this world a better place than you came into it, prioritize yourself and invest in your inner work and your healing. Not just as a means to an end, but as the means to the end. Start within and seek to know who you truly are, and before you know it, the rest will begin to follow. But it has to start with you. That is where it all begins.
