We’re so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about.” ~Joseph Campbell

What’s one thing you can shift to position yourself for more aliveness?

First, a reminder that what you experience in life is a result of what goes on within you. Your thoughts, your beliefs and your feelings comprise a state of consciousness that determines what you know as your life.

Remembering this, doesn’t it seem a bit self-defeating to try to change the “outside” in order to be more alive? That’s because it is!

A classic example of this is relationship.

Let’s say someone you are close to has some things about them you think need to change. I mean, really, you’ll be so much happier when they do, right? 🙂

I’m going to be honest with you. If you are waiting for someone else to make a change in order for you to be happy, you are not free. Your sense of aliveness is dependent on them!

Well, the same is true in any area of your life.

People think they’ll be more alive with the “right” person comes along, or the economy changes, or the dream job arrives, or…. you name it.

It’s not to say that those things can’t contribute to your aliveness.

It’s just that you got to begin within.

Happiness is an inside job.

So the shift you need for more aliveness is?

======================================

To shift your attention from the external to the internal.

=======================================

Reflect on your aliveness. Resolve to spend a little time every day to go within and connect with the inner value of you, of life. Over time, you will discover that what you want already lives in you.
