The Inner Me
If you don’t go within, you will go without.
– Buddhist saying
My life cannot implement in action the demands of all the people to whom my heart responds.
– Ann Lindbergh, The Gift from the Sea
In each of us there is a quiet place—if only we can find it. A place that is “the eye of the hurricane”, a quiet place at the center of life. A place where we can transcend the clutter of life while we clarify issues, arrive at solutions and develop perspective on the concerns of our lives. A place so quiet we can co-habit with uncertainty while staying grounded. A place where we are clear about what is truly important. Some of us call it “home”. It is an inner home—a place where, despite the chaos that at times besets us, we feel valued and capable. When we go there, we reconnect with our integrity, our purpose, and ultimately our yet undiscovered possibilities. It is a place of acceptance and hope.
For many of us, our daily pace means a frenetic effort to meet demand after demand in order to be
- an effective employee,
- a good parent,
- a successful entrepreneur,
- a loving partner,
- a fit person.
The outer world of work and relationships keeps us hurrying from one obligation to another. In the process, the inner me can become confused, numbed, or even lost. Over time we notice we are wanting more:
- more quiet,
- more quality relationships,
- more time for reflection,
- more time to play,
- more balance in our lives.
There is no magic bullet. It takes commitment to live life differently. To meet the needs of the inner me takes courage.
As you quiet the chatter inside, you will begin to hear what you value, what you want, what will give you fulfilment. You begin to be free to be you.
