Too many of us are searching “out there” for answers to life and day to day problems we
face. We look to friends, institutions, government, gurus and books. Some may even
look to the entertainment world for answers to “what’s wrong” and how to solve it.
This is not to say some valuable information and insight cannot be found in these places
but it is not the place or the information gathered there that will supply the answers we
seek. It is how we internalize this information, our thought process surrounding the
information. All our problems are solved or fed from the inside. The answer lies within.
Outside information is simply a tool and nothing more. These tools must be used to build
new blueprints, behaviors, not just surface thoughts and wishful thinking for man does
not become what he wishes but that which he truly harbors in his heart.
The answer my friend is found within. It can be no other way.
Your own thoughts, desires, and aspirations comprise your world, and, to you, all that
there is in the universe of beauty and joy and bliss, or of ugliness and sorrow and pain,
are contained within yourself. By your own thoughts you make or mar your life, your
world, your universe.
