Shouldn't that be "your outer world is a reflection of your inner world"?
Jonathan,
I really like that post, it has some wonderful quotes in it.
I've heard one thing recently that has stuck in my mind but I don't know its true origins and it goes along the lines of "Change the way you see things and the things you see will change." Or something like that.
One that has most relevance to me, though, at the moment is this one:

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

It amazes me that we spend so much time making ourselves small in the hope that we will be accepted by others. It's something that's tripped me up a great deal in my lifetime.
