I have always loved the idea of change because I love adventure. Adventure brings me something new, and so I thought any change would do the same. The idea of change is always fun to me but I’m learning the reality of it is a lot harder.
Through a lot of trial and error I have figured out what kind of changes I want to move toward. There are people who are changing the world, who are seen and heard and leading us towards love, they are trusted in a world where trust is scarce. I want to be more like that.
“If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. Primary reality is within; secondary reality without.” – Eckhart Tolle
My whole philosophy of life revolves around this quote by Eckhart Tolle. Garbage in, garbage out. The roots affect the whole tree.
I keep tirelessly working towards getting the inside right. The closer I get to having my inside right, the more I understand what he’s saying. When my insides are right, it takes something pretty significant on my outside to affect me.
If you’ve been following my blog for a while you will know I took an online marketing seminar from Seth Godin through the spring and summer. You might also remember the turmoil and pain it caused me as it challenged my long held personal beliefs about change. There are many levels to change that I won’t get into now but suffice it to say I had a very hard time sorting them out.
I went into that seminar expecting to learn something I didn’t know and maybe fit a new piece in the puzzle. I feel like that’s what happened for a lot of others taking it, but for me it changed a huge piece of my worldview. That seminar changed me a lot, and I didn’t see that coming.
I see things differently, I see people differently, I see myself differently and it’s all in accordance with who I want to become. I’m one step closer now.
I’ve noticed that as my insides change, the outside has to keep up because once I see things differently I can’t stand the results on the outside that don’t align.
We can’t go where we want to go in life by only changing what’s on the outside of us. If the inside doesn’t change eventually the outside just feels the same as it did before because we always take us with us when we go.
The best way to change what’s on the inside is to find new experiences that push you out of what’s comfortable, and then let a little piece of who you are die and be born again into a new version.
It’s very hard to do that, and it’s really hard when the beliefs you cling to have been used for your survival. But it’s how you get there and it’s worth it if you want to live a life you’ve dreamed of. You can’t get from here to there without change.
I want to help you.
I want to create an experience that will help you make the change you seek to make, or don’t know how to make, or aren’t sure how to start towards that will bring a change in you to take you one step closer to living the life you dream of.
