Inside and Outside

On my last post, I wrote about the things that we do, externally, such as our jobs or careers. Today I want to talk about who we are, internally. I believe that both are important and that there can and should be harmony between the two.

If you desire to make an outward change, you may have to make an internal change. Also, if you are unhappy in your career, you might get a new job and still be unhappy so you need to work on some internal issues first and then go from there. You may still want a new job, or maybe not.

 Changing your circumstances on the outside will not change who you already are on the inside. Become the person you desire to become inwardly and it will be easier to revise any other aspect of your life that you wish. Look at who you are on the inside and decide if you are happy with the person that you are. Take some time and look deep within yourself and figure out who you and only you are. Reading good books on the topics that interest you, learning about people who inspire you and what you want to emulate is a great way to enhance your life. You are unique and your various abilities all together are yours alone to do with as you wish. How will you use those abilities in your life? How will you use your strengths to become the person you want to become?

Who you are on the inside should reflect and show through in the things that you do on the outside. You cannot be a kind, loving and generous person on the inside and be mean, selfish and unpleasant on the outside. If you love kids and teaching on the inside, it may not make sense for you a have a career as a pilot.

Do what you enjoy doing. Be who you want to be. Set goals for yourself and continually strive for something better. I wish you every happiness.
