The Source of Success in 2025: Go inwards, To Grow Outwards.
External results are just a fraction of a complete Life Equation. When you consciously decide to prioritise internal and invisible results—such as peace, clarity, and ease—everything changes. It marks a point where you stop asking external factors such as money, career, or health to make you happy. You reclaim your sovereignty, no longer controlled by circumstances around you.
Instead, you create your life from within. You walk a path seeking clarity, ease, peace, freedom, impact and impact—regardless of what’s happening around you. At first, it may feel risky, as if taking your eye off the external results will mean they diminish or flitter away. But they won’t. When you turn inwards like this, your external results become inspired, easeful, and in time they accelerate with the potential for exponential change beyond the plan your mind may have constructed.
Our mind, while a wonderful tool, is limited when calculating the potential of life. This limitation is obvious if you consider the best things in your life… for me none of the best moments and experiences of my life were foreseen by my mind. If I had allowed my mind to dictate what’s possible I’d have lived a fraction of the life I have. Every day, I work to loosen the grip of my mind on what’s possible, so that I may experience more of life, rather than the limited version my mind calculates. I have goals, work hard, and I allow myself to be open to something greater. This approach allows you to cultivate a rich, vibrant inner world, without fail followed naturally by inspired, easeful, exponential external results & success.
3 Reasons this Works:
1) External Goals Alone Create an Endless Chase. Chasing only external results creates a world you can never be successful in, or ever be at ease. Life, time, joy slip through your fingers as you try to clutch and accumulate. Once we acquire the first thing, the next one appears and we chase that. Before we know it decades have passed and this becomes an unquestioned way of living. Is this a conscious decision?
2) You Live Inside Your Human Experience. YOU have to live inside YOUR Human Experience, not out there where your car is parked, in your bank account, or in your job title. You are in here. Inside. In an invisible world of feeling, emotions, experiences. This world matters. Focusing on cleaning this up is possible, and the most rewarding investment any of us can make. We have one precious life, what do we want it to be like on the inside? What are your inner world goals for 2025? How do you want your life to feel?
3) Inner Investments Yield Guaranteed Returns. Investments made within produce guaranteed progress and results for you, the sole shareholder and beneficiary. Your inner ease, peace, power, then flows automatically to your outer, visible world. If you imagine the best version of yourself, you likely imagine character traits rather than things they have accumulated. They are likely, happy, confident, vibrant, charismatic, clear. None of that comes from accumulating or achieving, it comes from doing inner work to resolve the reasons we are not those things. Self-doubt, shame, fear, pain – it’s all there in us all, we push it aside from conscious attention, but it has not gone away. It colours our world and experience, maybe for so long we can no longer detect it. This inner work may be unclear at times, you just need to learn how to navigate it.
What’s it like in your inner world? Inside is only yours to experience. You feel it all, you’re responsible for it all. What would you like your experience to be like? Start with just one word if needed, and hold that as your guiding light. My word presently and for 2025 is Liberation: Freedom from fear, doubt, old self-imposed limitations.
An extraordinary external life is your birth right. By prioritising our inner world we don’t throw away our external ambitions, we are all here to contribute to the world and be in this world with each other, we just stop making that our sole focus. Anything you can genuinely hold a heart-centered vision for is possible for you in this life. A new business, a new career, a new lifestyle, a family.
If you’re still with me, let’s dive deeper with a short guided exercise…
Look in the mirror. What do you see?
You don’t see you. You see a human body. This body is a Home. A Home for a Being. A sacred and eternal being… YOU.
You are not your Body, you are not your Mind, you are not your Thoughts. You are something else, inside a human body, for now. This is your House. You live here. Inside it. All alone inside. Just you. Nobody else is in there.
This is your human experience. Your inner world is private, invisible; only witnessed, known, and experienced by one Being… YOU.
What happens inside your House is only yours to experience. You are responsible for all of what’s inside. Only you know what’s in there. Only you can enjoy it. Only you must suffer in it. Only you placed whatever is in there. Only you can clean, care for, decorate and enjoy it.
So, what’s your house like? What’s it like in there for you? How are you? Anything less than impeccability inside there can be cleaned: hurt, doubt, resentment, judgement, bitterness, fear, pain, sickness, anger, shadow.
It can always, in all ways, be refreshed, eased, and released so you may move through life light and fresh.
Ease, abundance, freshness is your natural state. It is our gift at birth. But we forgot. We believed something else and hoarded the lies we heard from others, and from ourselves. We’ve all done this, and now we step back onto the path and come back to ourselves.
