Living From the Inside Out
Monday, February 11th, 2008I recently read Eckhart Tolle’s book “A New Earth.” The subtitle is “Awakening To Your Life’s Purpose.” This book is excellent and I highly recommend it for everyone who is focused on becoming more aware, more conscious and living a purposeful life.
Throughout the book he talks about living life from the inside out and that when you do, what happens on the outside has less and less significance in the larger realm of things.
Tolle encourages us to take action from a place of acceptance, enjoyment or enthusiasm … and that if we are not in one of these states then we are “creating suffering for yourself and others.” Try this out for youself and see if it makes a difference with the actions you take and how you feel about any given situation. As he says, taking action from a state of acceptance means you are at peace. We are open to so much more when we are at peace than when we struggle, are angry or frustrated, allow oursleves to be disappointed by others’ actions and words, etc.
It is up to each of us to awaken to our deep power within and truly live from the inside out. Each of us is the only one who can do it for ourselves.
