Our Inner World
Change your thoughts, change your world
The heaviest weight isn’t the world on your shoulders, it’s in your mind. Transform your thoughts to transform you.
The world carried within
When people say they feel like they’re “carrying the weight of the world,” it’s naturally an exaggeration. But in a very real sense, each of us does carry a world, our own, not on our backs, but in our minds.
This thought struck me recently as I reflected on the connection between our inner and outer worlds. In the words of French writer and diplomat François-René de Chateaubriand:
“Every man carries within himself a world made up of all that he has seen and loved…”
Think about that. Your personal world isn’t some abstract idea; it’s everything you’ve seen, felt, and loved. It’s your memories, beliefs, and biases. It’s your story. And it never leaves you.
Your thoughts create that world. They’re not just passing clouds drifting through your mind; they’re builders, shaping the foundation of your reality. As long as you think, you are carrying your world with you.
