Most of us are aware of this popular belief that “Amazing things can happen from the inside”. But most of us are aware of this from an outside approach. What I mean by this is, say if we have certain contacts in a firm or a company. It makes it easier for us to get a job there. This can be an example where we can confirm that amazing things can happen from the inside.
Another example is, when you are trading in the stock market, and you know people who can leak information or pass on sensitive information which can have a direct effect on the price of the stock. This is also known as insider tips or insider trading. This is another example where amazing things can happen from the inside.
But apart from really focusing on the outside world, which we are aware off. Are we aware that amazing things can happen even from the inside of us, by just being aware of it. Alot of amazing stuff can happen from within. By being aware of who we are, alot can change in the way we behave, in the way we interact with people, the way we approach a situation. Alot can change by just being aware of who we are from within.
I call it finding yourself or being self aware. Here self aware doesn’t mean being aware of yourself on a conceptual basis. it means being aware of your beingness, being aware of your presence at any point of time during the day.
What if you put in this habit of bringing in consciousness into your daily routine. By being conscious in your activities, in your actions, when you are talking to people, just being conscious of yourself. When you bring this consciousness you will be working on the inside. You will be working on what is within you, what is within this body, the real you. And amazing things can than happen.
If you are a very angry person and if you practice self-awareness, you will have control over your anger, automatically.. you really do not have to work on anything else. You just have to practice self awareness. If you fear, if you worry alot practice self awareness, and automatically things will start changing, things will start improving. Because currently whatever negative emotion arises in our life, it is more to do with the unconscious attachment to ideas or things by our mind.
Our mind gets so attached to certain things that it needs to defend it, it needs to worry about it, to find its sense of self. But by bringing in consciousness in your daily living, by being conscious on a timely basis, you then engage your mind in the awareness of your true self. You help your mind to detach from wrong identifications, you start creating an environment for your mind to live in a healthy fashion.
Then a lot of amazing things will happen from the inside. People will start to take a liking for you as you are not losing your cool with them. You will approach situations which were upsetting before in a much mature fashion, without worrying, without fear, without anger.
This consciousness that you bring in on a daily basis will help your relationships with your friends, family members, with your kids, with your work colleagues. This consciousness is all that you need to be bringing into your life, by being conscious and aware of your true self.
Only do this one thing. Don’t worry about your over-eating, don’t worry about your temper.. only start being aware of yourself and something will start changing automatically.
Repeat the practice of self awareness many times a day. alot of amazing things will happen from the inside and alot of change will happen for your good, alot of change will happen for the good of your family, alot of good will happen for your relationships, alot of good will happen in your career goals.
All this can only start happening after you practice self awareness. So if you want amazing things to happen for you from the inside, practice self awareness.
