Change

I remember some many years ago when I did not have a job nor a girlfriend.  I felt so alone, and so joyless.  The outside world had to change or else I was in for an unhappy, unfulfilled, anxious existence.   Well, today the outside world has not changed much in my personal and professional life.  But I no longer feel alone or anxious or joyless.  What happened?  It seems that the insides have changed.  Whatever fears and worries I might now have about outside things, cannot absorb my time, my emotional life.  I work on the insides now as my focus.  Then I can respond to the world from a place of sanity and fullness.  The Power is within.
