Living from the Inside-Out

What is powering the life you now live?

I’m going to go ahead and say Happy New Yearrrrr…even though it’s the 10th of February! hehehehe, new has no expiry date 😀

I have been eager to share something that’s been brewing in me since the end of 2025. I don’t think it’s anything we haven’t in some variation heard before, but hopefully it’ll bless you.

At the end of 2025, one of the questions that kept coming up for me was ‘what is powering the needs and wants that I now have? This life you want, what is the source of its desire?’

Sometimes, us wanting things is only to fill up our lives because we are still trying to make sense of it, and so it’s better to fill it up and be busy than for it to be “empty”.

You’re trying to make sense of your life, but you’re looking outside! Even with community service, and volunteering, and helping those in need, and choosing the most noble profession, if the getting of it is what makes you feel ‘whole’, you’re still living from the outside-in.

The best version of who you’ll ever be is already in you. Truly, when the things you want are lovely, and noble, and kind, and helpful, that is an indication of a right path, but the understanding that you’re already where you want to go is what will make it living from the inside-out. In the bible, there is a verse that says to seek God first, and everything else, the day-to-day life things, will be added. I believe that passage is agreeing with me today. Be first, before you do.

I currently have 101 needs and wants…and counting, but i’m finding the vulnerability in examining them again and again and again, until they reflect the Light i’m made of. It is never the ‘thing’ that makes you, it is your identity that gives life to the ‘thing.’

There is worth in sitting still, in letting go of what looks real and then welcoming what is pouring out of you. Your inside is always speaking, I pray for the acceptance to start listening, to continually seek, to let go of the ‘shoulds’, to truly be, and then to do.

It is a process, but a worthy journey. I’m rooting for you…and for me lol.

I’ll see you soon…keep exploring.

All my love,

Queenet.
