Saving The World From The Inside Out

Starting With You!

Most of us want to make the world a more beautiful place, and for the most part. I think we can all agree, we don’t always mean just for looks.

Starting On The Inside

We all tend to think that our loyal love and care for others, or even for strangers, is what is needed to make the world a better place. Caring for one another is definitely a plus, but if you’re giving more than you have, you also end up with your own cup being empty.

You Are Like A Fruit

Picture taking two oranges from a tree. One is beautiful and looks absolutely perfect, and the other has bruises and scratches. We all tend to pick the prettiest one, even though it may not be ripe, or possibly, it is rotten on the inside.

But, the ugly orange is perfect on the inside. Instead of just providing something pretty to look at, it will also nourish all who partake in it.

What We Carry Gets Heavy

We have all been wandering around the world miles from where our feet stand. Navigating by pure memory or instinct while our hearts and minds were somewhere else.

It’s okay to not be okay!

I do, however, think that when you can place your heart into what you are doing you will have a much better approach to the world. If you are constantly walking around distracted by your thoughts, you miss the friendly smiles, you don’t pay attention to those that might need your help, and you also miss interaction and things that also heal your soul.

Start at Home

Just like anything else, your home may look perfect from the outside but it is the inside that really matters. Starting at home also helps you start where your passion lies. If there is abuse in your home, you have to accept change. You have to have a place where your soul can rest. Work on making your home that place, not just organizing, but also working through any stresses or tensions in relationships of those in your home.

Things will never be perfect, but we take on so much at home and even allow people to treat us differently than we ever would in the outside world. We deal with gaslighting and a whole battery of mental abuse from friends or family, but we excuse their behavior because we care for them.

You Have To Stand Up For You

You deserve love, care, peace, and so much more. Go after that. The world will still be there when you do. But a healthy person who is happy and strong can make a much bigger impact than someone who feels small.

You are the center of your world, and you may not feel like you can make a difference, but you can. To at least one person you have made a huge difference and do every day.

When We Walk In Peace

When you can be in the moment. When you feel strong. That’s when you can make a difference. Sometimes we get so lost that we don’t notice the mother standing in front of us struggling to pay for her food, but to her, a couple of dollars could change her day and let her provide food for her kids.

We Are All Struggling

Don’t be afraid to ask for help or to take a break. You have to be at your best to give your best. Everyone has something going on. Everyone has something they worry about. Talk to someone, or even just sit in the quiet; whatever you need to keep yourself going.

Starting From The Inside

You can’t give from an empty cup. Start making the world a better place for you, then look at the bigger picture. Your happiness will spread as well. Your positivity and energy will also light up the dark places for those you are around.

If we want to make the world a better place, the picture sometimes looks overwhelming. Start with you, make your world a better place, then reach out. You are so much stronger than you think. You got this.

As always, thank you for being a part of my journey!
