Happy Weekend to all.
Thank you @galenkp for the thoughtful suggestions and reminders each week, that we are human beings and therefore we live, feel, act, think.
What does this quote mean to you and how does it apply to your life?
“What we achieve internally will
change the external reality -
Plutarch”.
We live in a complex world, where there are so many ways to express the meaning that everyone gives to their way of life, how they act, think, feel, others. To reach the point of understanding, to understand that our inner world is full of so much, to realize it is a race or a very dynamic walk of learning to listen, not to listen to others but to listen to oneself, how to achieve this, to sit in silence, to breathe and allow ourselves to feel our body...ufff how many things happen to realize that inside us is a world so immense that I always compare it to an iceberg, everything we do not see is so big, as we find it difficult to appreciate it.
I remember that one of the things that began to change in my inner world, not a simple process... sometimes it comes out is that of judging, without realizing it and I think that out of habit we talk about others and we begin to say if it were me, I would do this and there we are judging. To understand this was a shock that my therapist made me understand...it has cost me a lot and when I realize that I am judging, even if it is nonsense, I ask myself and how does this benefit me, there my mind stops because I become conscious, I answer myself if it is true...I do not gain anything with this.
There enters the suggested phrase “What we achieve internally will change the external reality of Plutarch ... if I see a lot of sense, it is a big change because what others do is from their reality, what they comment is from their stories, the way of acting is even by habit of looking at others to do so falling into that of disrespecting the lives of others.
The internal change is reflected in the outside world, when we talk, the words we use, we understand that we live in the present, the joy we show in our environment is very noticeable, we appreciate others more, those around us.
A few months ago the girl who does my nails made the following comment to me: Mercedes, what are you doing? I see you as different, more given, I see you very well? This type of comment reflects that changes have occurred in my inner world, and they continue to occur and are demonstrated on the outside in the way I interrelate with those I am sharing with at a specific moment. Another point that stands out is to join a group in some activity, without knowing the members I do it more easily.
