You Can’t Change the Outer World Until You Change Your Inner World

By Mika Hamilton 

When it comes to success you have to stop and define what your goals are and what they mean to you. Does success mean acquiring a fortune, a big house, and a fast car to you? Or, is success more personal; having the ability to support your desired lifestyle in spite of today’s economic problems? In other words, how far are you willing to go to succeed?

Are you willing to step outside your comfort zone; step up and take responsibility for your ideas? This requires confidence and the certainty that you can make a difference, and can back up your statements when push comes to shove. Regardless of the doubts presented you have the facts to back up your plan and are willing to move ahead. This is a bold move, are you prepared to make this step?

Changing your inner world focusing on what you want to accomplish. Making a list has always been helpful when planning changes. This is true when you plan to build a house or are designing a draft for a research paper. Find a comfortable spot and begin by writing down what you want in your life. Make a plan for tomorrow, the week after, and three months from now. By writing down your vision you help reinforce it, and it keeps you focused on what you are working toward.

When you begin to make changes in your life there are often periods when things are not moving ahead quick enough as we would like them to. This is the time to write down your vision again or bring out your list of goals and review them. This will help you remain focused as you continue on the path you have chosen to reach your goals.

Making an adjustment in the way that you view your life is also helpful. The road to success can be a challenge. When you are faced with a trying situation you need to remain focused on your goals. There is no need to get upset or angry, instead remain focused so you can consciously react to the situation.

There are many people who want to change the world, and where do you start? We start within ourselves, reshaping our concepts of the world we have known into the one we want. As you focus on your life think of the things that have been holding you back. Do you have anything negative that could bring you down like a weight? The hardest part of change is recognizing our mistakes and the obstacles we may face, and be prepared to remain focused.

When people start to change their friends and family notice the difference. And then there are some people who resist change or are not comfortable with it. In these moments remember what you want to accomplish and continue on your path. Success can make some people feel insecure because it brings into focus what they want and what they have yet to achieve. Do not let any negativity take away or drain the energy and focus you have to achieve your goals. When you make a commitment to changing your life the path may be rough along the way, but it will be worth the journey.
