APPLY WITHIN
*
You once told me
You wanted to find
Yourself in the world –
And I told you to
First apply within,
To discover the world
within you.
You once told me
You wanted to save
The world from all its wars –
And I told you to
First save yourself
From the world,
And all the wars
You put yourself
Through.

That’s right, Sister! We need to have it together inside to be able to do something outside.

We forget too often that everything we want to find in this world, every single change, begins in ourselves! Wonderful reminder, Sylvester!

When we look in the mirror we need to look deeper beyond the reflection an into our inner being and make sure we are good inside. Thank you very much!

Very important! In the end, what we find outside and how we feel about it, is actually that mirror. If we don’t like what we see then we need to make a change… and like Maya Angelou said, if it is only our attitude.

Our attitude is the key to which way out perspective turns. Cleaning all the smudges off my inner mirror 😊

Yes, first we need to clean the inner mirror to see who we really are.
