Change Inside Out
Change Inside Out
What if you realised that all things bad happening with you are an outcome of your bad decisions. That you stumbled because you faltered to your desires. That you did not find courage to stand your feet. That you broke your promises and it turned into a bad today. That you can channel your failures into building a stronger character. That you could put all the lessons into practice, and actually start winning the battles you have in your future with your evil-self. You would have awakened a giant in yourself.

To be honest, it is all possible. Slowly when we grow, we gain experience. A new paradigm shift, a new perspective grows with us. We learn more ways of beating the procrastination or an addiction. What felt impossible a week before, is now easier to defeat. You have grown courage, stamina, patience, hatred of your bad past. Now you are a stronger monster, who no more trembles by little monsters.
Nice thing is, you can beat these little whims and tricks in a moment. Just put into writing, all things, all ways, all cues, and all cravings. Write the barricades (actions) you can hold onto, when a craving triggers. Actions that make it impossible to beat your promise. That do not let you tell a lie to yourself. That make it extremely hard to ever go back into the ugly past - you hate so much. Give due time into writing these promises. And once you are done! Snap (literally) with your fingers.
You are now a different person, out of the dark past, into a glorious and productive future. Who does not break the promise he made today. Who does not falter. Whose resilience is stronger. Who can be willing to die over breaking the word.
Once you have the character centred ethics, that grow from your inside, you will not need karmas, tricks and tips to shape your life. You will grow the plant of character stronger, through which you will emit success. Your words will resonate with your personality. You will become the talk of your tongue. And you will find yourself victorious. Only after you shape yourself inside out.
