There is Nothing Outside of You

There is nothing outside of you that can bring peace, joy, happiness, or love.

These feelings come from within.

If I don't have peace, I cannot appreciate the beauty of the world.

If I don't have joy, I cannot contribute positively to the lives of others.

If I don't love myself, I cannot love others unconditionally.

Self-realization comes from the depth of your soul. 

I choose to go inward, meditate, write, garden, create and contemplate.

I choose to live outward when I am living my daily life with family and friends, holidays and vacations, dinners and movie nights, and when I do my work in the world.

I am a better human, a wiser soul than I used to be, because I have chosen to live consciously. 

Living consciously is not easy, and I often fail, but I am determined to be the best version of myself and so can you!

I hope this note inspires you to dig deep within yourself.

I hope this note inspires you to dig deep.

Sort through how you express yourself. Gain perspective so that you know when you are leaning inward. What’s inward and what’s outward for you?

With Love,
