> Inside First Did you know that everything

> everything going on inside you? Your physical
> life is an "expression" or "
> pressing outward" of your inner landscape.
> Some people call this process "out-
> picturing." It is the process of taking
> your inner thoughts and feelings and making them
> real. If you are avoiding someone and hoping
> with all your heart that you do not run into
> that person, guess what? Chances are that you
> will see that person. Why? Because it is an
> expression of the film that you have been
> playing over and over in your mind.
> So if you have a recurring problem on the
> physical plane, do not try to fix it with
> physical solution. You won't get anywhere fast
> and it is hard work! Work on your inner
> landscape instead. Take a look inside. What are
> your thoughts? What are your feelings? What are
> you chewing on inside? What are you obsessing
> about? When you catch yourself obsessing about
> something, just smile and say to yourself, "
> You"re doing that thing you do again!"
> Keep catching yourself at your own game. Once
> you get through the initial anger and
> frustration, you will find yourself amused at
> how often your mind will return to the same
> subject. Then the feeling goes from obsession to
> humor. Once you can see the humor in the
> situation, your outer situation will change.
> When you can laugh at yourself, everything in
> your outer environment automatically fixes
> itself. You won't have to lift a finger.
