Have you ever noticed how often we think about things outside of ourselves? We worry and wonder about what other people think about us. We think about other people and how they are doing.
But how often do you consciously inquire as to how you are feeling at any given moment? I was re-reading Eckhart Tolle's book, Practicing the Power of Now (his new book, A New Earth is also a must read - http://www.eckharttolle.com) and one section really struck me. Here's what he said:
"Make it a habit to monitor your mental and emotional state through self-observation. 'Am I at ease this moment?' is a good question to ask yourself frequently. Or you can ask, 'What's going on inside me at this moment?' Be at least as interested in what goes on inside you as what happens outside. If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place."
Only having to get the inside right sure seems a lot easier, and more peaceful, than spending time trying to make everything on the outside right. So why not start tending to your interior and see what happens?
