Two Ways to Transformation
There are two ways to transformation: either you change your world or you change how you relate to it. One path focuses on changing things on the outside, the other path works on changing things within. Both have the power to create new realities and neither is guaranteed to always work. I might think that I can create happiness by achieving some result but if this isn’t also accompanied by interior transformation, I might accomplish it and still find myself miserable. Similarly, I might think that if only I saw things differently, then I would be happy. As good as putting on a new mindset can be, if it doesn’t also lead to better results or a better way of experiencing things, then it is impotent.
This week, I invite you to ask:
What are the changes I am seeking in my life?
For each of these areas:
1) What is my next action to transform the world outside of me? By when will I complete it?
2) What needs to transform with regard to my interior life? That is, what new ways of looking at things or new ways of being might I practice in order to change this area?
God bless,
Dan
