There are many people who believe that what they feel inside or who they are inside, is more important than what is outside. Let me explain my belief of external versus the internal. There are many people who believe that what they feel inside or who they are inside, is more important than what is outside. Let me explain my belief of external versus the internal.
The external self is the person who shows the outcome of who they are on the outside. It's how they dress, how they act, and the person that they are trying to impress upon others of who they really are. The internal part, is what they feel, what they think, things that are more personal to themselves.

I find it fascinating that you can be in a place and when you ask them a question, irrespective of the person you're speaking with, they will say to you, “yes, sir,” “yes, ma'am.” This is such a wonderful way to communicate with one another. I find it so elegant and extremely polite. It is not something which they have to force themselves onto. They even have people who speak that way to their own parents. The father, for instance, will ask something of the daughter and she'll say, "Yes, sir," or the mother will ask something of the child and the child will respond, "Yes, ma'am."

The world is made up of many different people with different characters, different habits, different personalities. It doesn't really matter where you come from or where you are, or what you've done in your life up until now. It is made up of different people. It's just what the world is.

Some people are seeking the truth about everything in the world. They want to know everything before they can accomplish anything. "I want to know my purpose in life. I want to know what is the reason for the world to be what it is. I want to know why I'm here and what is my mission. I want to know this and I want to know that."

They want to know everything. Until they find out, until they're truly in a place where they understand, they refuse to act, accomplish, grow, or become productive. They refuse to. That's quite interesting.

You'll often hear people saying, "How can I be better? What can I do to be the best that I can be, or all that I can be? It's not so simple. I'm not sure where to start, besides who am I after all? I'm not very rich, I'm not very bright, I'm not very popular."

If you want things to be different, better, or greater know that it all begins with you. Any given day you wish, you can discipline yourself to change everything around you. You can change it all, in just one moment.

You can also do nothing if you want to, or you can even pretend rather than perform. This is all up to you – it all begins with you.

You can choose at times, if you wish, to rest; or not work.

You can entertain yourself over growing and being educated.

You can believe in delusion instead of truth or fact.

Surprising someone can be a detrimental time for some people. It could even be sad. But, a nice surprise that is prepared from the heart to commemorate an event or an occasion, is truly a respect for goodness. It’s a celebration that awakens a passion and catapults your heart to brighten the future. Challenge all your dreams and make them what you have always thought them to be.

I met someone today who was incarcerated. I was given the name from a friend, and they asked me to visit him as they lived far away. I had the opportunity to sit with this person for quite a bit of time. Incarcerated is a difficult situation, an imprisonment to be detained, confined, jailed, or locked up. There is not much that can be done.

This person had so much time on his hands. He was very upset with what happened. I asked him, “How do you feel about being here?”

There are subjects which are difficult to discuss for obvious reasons, and one of them is death. What happens when a person passes away? A loved one. Someone with whom we were close. Someone we admired or someone that we looked up to… What happens to them?

Who can measure the effect of someone else’s upbringing, environment, inborn character and weaknesses against temptations that one faces? We don’t know this.
