Your outward success is merely a reflection of your inner succesful self, what happens if you only concentrate on your inner happiness?

I had a dream a while back, I saw me, but somehow better-sparklier version of me, someone who was as beautiful, rich and swimming in abundance as I dream I would someday be. As I woke up I thought what a bizarre dream, as I had never seen myself in a third character if you will. But it got me thinking, and I wrote down some pointers to myself:

1.I only am what I perceive myself as

  1. My outward success is reflecting my inner successful self

  2. How to use those things to make them ''work'' for me?

You are what you eat. You will become what you believe. You believe what you think or say. What you see is what you get. You get what you put out - all of them are true, and all of them have to do with YOU. So, I thought, okay maybe I don't recognise this yet, but I'll test it.

It got me to my second pointer. A little background first - I have always ridden off my inner needs or fulfillments because I thought that I had to work work work no matter what if I am to succeed in life and my goals. But my dream-me said: "You are your world, you make it happen. So if I don't get my fix of me-time every day, I won't succeed in or out.''
I chose to believe her, so I decided that I will ''give'' my mornings to myself. Meaning that I would draw, meditate, do yoga, dance around or whatever, whatever my heart desired first thing in the morning. The important part is to try and imagine that this is all that exists for now - just me and my dancing. That ensures that you will actually be in the moment and enjoy it. Before I would just sigh of exhaustion when I thought about work that was coming ahead.

What you do for your inner success depends on you. Usually we do know what we must do, it's that special soul-feeling. But we rarely live up to it, right? So figure out what it is, because what happens if you finally give some lovin' to your self will amaze you.

So what happened if I decided to make me my best me, concentrating on the inner success?

Well, I got to be much much happier, and I got to watch how the outward success followed. First the little things, like getting up from bed with ease, and then more grandiose things - like earning more money, getting better at socializing with others etc. The benefits are endless, really.

It will feel weird at first, if you are someone like me, aka chronic over-thinker and ''must survive'' mind-set is not something unfamiliar, either. But it will get better. Taking care of yourself will get better haha.

It feels like magic - you get to enjoy yourself, you get to make yourself happy, and all the things you worried about before will amazingly almost sort themselves out. You only have to say: "Yes, I agree to that" whenever a benefit is facing you, and it will be yours.
