Change Begins Where You Least Want To Look

It seems like the world grows more chaotic by the day.
I can feel it in the energy—something big is coming.
A wake-up call for the masses.

When the outer world feels messy, loud, and hopeless, it’s easy to point fingers.
To blame the “other side” for the destruction, the suffering, the division.
It’s easy to get swept up in the fear, the outrage, the noise.
But meeting chaos with more chaos—more anger, judgment, or hate—only adds fuel to the fire.

What if what’s triggering you “out there” is really a mirror?
A reflection of something unhealed within?

Could the hatred, fear, and division you see outside also live inside you?
Are there parts of yourself you hate?
That you hide in shame?
That you judge or resent?
That you try to separate from?

Where is the conflict showing up—in your mind, your relationships, your family, your work?

Until we begin to meet the parts of ourselves we deny, fear, or reject with compassion and acceptance,
we can’t expect the “other side” to meet us with love and understanding either.
Until we confront the conflict within, we can’t expect the conflict outside to heal.

“Be the change you wish to see in the world” is one of my favorite quotes—because it’s true.
We hold far more power than we’ve been led to believe.

In the food we eat.
The products we buy.
The media we consume.
The systems we engage with.
The thoughts we think.
The words we speak.
The energy we bring into every moment.

And yet—too often, we hand that power over.
To people, to products, to systems.
Hoping they’ll do the right thing.
Hoping someone or something will save us.

But change doesn’t begin “out there.”
It begins with you.

Each of us carries conditioning, trauma, and limiting beliefs—quietly running the show beneath the surface.
But when we wake up…
When we take radical responsibility…
When we begin to heal ourselves…

That’s when things start to shift.
That’s when the ripple begins.
And that’s how the collective begins to heal.

So if you’re feeling lost, hopeless, or powerless right now—start with you.

Look honestly at what needs to shift in your life.
In your thoughts.
In your relationships.
In what—and how—you’re consuming, physically, emotionally, energetically.

Start there.
Do your work.

That’s where real change begins.
