The Vase: Inner Work

Imagine if someone who you loved and trusted called and told you about some secret water they discovered. This water they found was special because if you drank it, it would heal any ailment.

They told you that you could have a few cups of this precious water but you would have to bring a vase over to their house so they could pour you some.

Searching through your house, you found an old vase you believed would work to hold this healing water. You got to their house and was excited to take it back home with you to share with family and friends who may be sick. You also planned to keep some for yourself if ever needed it.

As you were driving back to your house with this sacred water in your possession, you noticed the seat your vase was sitting on was wet. You picked up the vase and saw water dripping out from it. Examining it closer, you saw there was a crack at the bottom of the vase.

Rushing home, you burst through the door, hoping to save the last bit of water remaining in your vase. You grabbed a cup from the cabinet and only a small amount remained. Frustrated, you asked yourself who you put such special water in a cracked vase.

Cracked

This story isn’t about the vase or some special water that was discovered. I share this story to open your mind to how many people go through the world, filling their lives with more things they think will bring them happiness, peace, love and abundance.

This is done through getting college degrees, purchasing large houses and nice cars, even making a lot of money. But does it matter how many things we pour into our lives, if inwardly we are like the vase in the story, cracked and broken?

In order to keep success, love, abundance, joy and peace in our lives, we must make sure that inwardly we have sealed up the cracks of our inner world that form through toxic thoughts, limiting beliefs and false ideas.

The greatest work we can do is the work no one sees. This is the work that takes place within.

Your Life: Inner Work

We will always get what we believe we deserve. Our lives can only expand to the level of our consciousness.

Being a victim to little problems prevent big dreams from growing in your life. In fact, it is the little problems that can help you identify the root cause of the bigger issues in life. Often little problems continue to resurface, causing cracks in our inner world due to a greater problem we are unwilling to face.

In my life, this has revealed itself through a negative self-image, believing the opinions of others more than my own and doubting my ability to transform my life.

I soon found that I cannot live a life with peace, love, and abundance with a small mind of stress and frustration.

Sealing up the cracks and pulling the roots of negativity from my inner world were essential to hold the blessings and opportunities that life has been preparing to send my way.

In what ways can you prepare your mind, heart, and spirit to receive the best that life has to offer?

3 Keys of Inner Work

#1 – Deep-Rooted Problems – Clear your spirit from unforgiveness, fear, hatred and toxic opinions of others. Uproot negative seeds that have been planted into your being when you were a child. Things like you aren’t good enough, your dreams aren’t possible and forced to aim at  mediocrity. Look at your destructive habits and ask, why you do them? What has caused them? How can you heal them? Clear these weeds and allow seeds of greatness to grow.

#2 – Transforming Your Mind – Use your mind in a way that opens you up to your inner self. This is the part of you that cannot suffer, the part that gives you the power to be. Meditate with your higher self, watch your feelings, emotions, and thoughts. Build an awareness of watching your thoughts and not attaching them. Observe your ability to direct the thoughts you give strength to within. Remember, this innermost self is all you truly are.

#3 – Can I Improve Me? – You are already powerful beyond measure. At the depths of it, there is nothing you can do to improve yourself. You are of the Infinite, what you improve is only what your mind believes you struggle in. You are already filled with limitless amounts of greatness, unbound potential and empowered by that which powers all. 

Nothing To Fix

If you are willing to get out of your own way, greatness flows through you unhindered.

At the depths of your being, greatness is all you are.

 

Peace

Happiness

Compassion

Respect
