Change the World? Start with Yourself

When problems or conflicts arise in our life related to work, money, business, familial, romantic, and professional relationships, we can often find ourselves blaming other people and external situations for our problems. We can feel justified and righteous in our stance and convinced that everything outside of us needs to change and has nothing to do with us.

One of the fundamental Hermetic principles, “As Within, So Without”, teaches us that our internal world reflects our external reality. We can find ourselves in very familiar situations and repeating the same mistakes again and again while expecting different results and outcomes. When we stop pointing outwards, and start to point inwards, we will begin to understand our inner reality differently and realize that the only thing we can change is ourselves.
