Inner value
Before you set off to conquer the world, set out to improve
yourself. Build character and discipline on the inside, and
you'll be able to handle any goal or challenge on the
outside.
When you set for yourself an outer goal, be sure to also
create an inner goal. Fully become, within yourself, the
person who can reach that goal in the outside world, and you
will.
When you feel the need to change others, seek instead to
change yourself. Meet people where they are, with true
understanding and acceptance, and the relationships you
build will bear sweet fruit.
The person you are on the inside determines all the things
you become on the outside. Nurture your inner life, and your
whole world will prosper.
The solid physical reality of your life is built upon the
quality of your innermost thoughts and feelings. Use every
opportunity to give power and positive purpose to those
thoughts, and every corner of your life will benefit.
In each moment, in every situation, seek to build lasting,
genuine value on the inside. And that value will quickly
spread outward from you, as far as you can see.
