“Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world; it corresponds with your dominant patterns of thinking”.¹⁰

Once upon a time, during the emergence of computers, Zig Ziglar was convinced of the immense benefits that would accrue to his company and decided to purchase a computer for his organization.

Zig Ziglar bragged about the computer wherever he went. However, six months after the purchase of the computer he changed his mind; he decided to sell the computer. All that could ever go wrong went wrong with the computer system. Zig Ziglar Corporation was over-billing, under-billing, late-billing, and early-billing customers. The computer that was designed to be of immense help became a total disaster.

At the nick of time, before the computer could be sold out, a friend walked in and said to Zig Ziglar, “Mr. Zig Ziglar, we can make that computer of yours laugh and talk and whistle and sing. Why we can make it work.” Ultimately, the computer did work with perfect accuracy. What was the magic? The input was changed; when the input was changed the output automatically changed.¹¹

Conversely, if Zig Ziglar’s friend had just hit the print key of the computer to correct the mistake, by attempting to erase the typo from the print-out. After erasing the typo from the print-out, he hits the print key again, and out comes the same typo. In frustration, he erases the typo even harder and hits the print key again, and out comes the re-occurring problem.

Here’s the catch, the error cannot be corrected from the print-out. The source or cause of the problem is in the input; the programming. To change the output – the programming must first be changed because input determines output; garbage in, garbage out.

Our outer world; the condition and circumstances of our lives are a stark reflection of our inner world. In other words, the outer condition of our lives is a reflection of the inner condition of our minds.

“What determines what comes out of you is simply what is already in you. Your life is a manifestation of what is in you. Your marriage is a manifestation of what is in you concerning marriage. Your children are a manifestation of what is in you concerning children. Your finances are a manifestation of what is in you concerning finances. Your business or job is a manifestation of what is in you concerning work.”¹²

– CASEY TREAT.

Our inner world is made up of the mental world, emotional world, and spiritual world which create our outer world which is our physical world. Our inner world is the seed and root that produce the fruits or the results in our lives. Therefore, if you want to change the results that are evident in your life, you must first change your mental, emotional, and spiritual world.

To change the fruit you must first change the seed or the root. In life, you never “do” to become something but rather you become something to do something. This implies, that “being” precedes “doing.” The state of your life corresponds with your state of mind. To alter the outer state of life, you must alter the inner state of mind. To improve your circumstances you must first improve yourself.

When you change yourself everything around and about you changes.
