Looking in

So often we look outward to external factors that present themselves in our worlds and choose those factors as a point of focus, we use them as a reason for being happy, sad, angry or any other emotion that could arise. We could look to blame these external factors for our internal disharmony making ourselves the victim of our circumstances or we could look inward. Why are we allowing the external to unsettle our internal? How could one become so strong within themselves that even sitting and witnessing a devastating, life changing event, could do so with an inner peace knowing that they are ok and always will be. One thing I always like to remind myself is, every challenge that you have ever faced to get you to where you are today, you have overcome, this one is just another opportunity to learn from and become stronger.
