No matter what happens in our outer world, it's important not to let it creep into our inner world.

The Inner world is everything that happens in our minds such as our thoughts, emotions, feeling, and beliefs.

The Outer world is situations and circumstances that happen to us and our physical reality.

These 2 worlds are connected and influence each other.
When something happens to us in the Outer world, we react in the Inner world.

Example:

If you get fired from your job (situation happening to you in the outer world)
You react by becoming sad, demotivated, angry, stressed etc (reactions in your inner world)

Or

If you win the lottery or get a promotion or increase your business revenue at the same time (situation happening to you in the outer world)

You react by becoming excited, content, successful etc (reactions in your inner world)

The problem is that most people are dominated by their outer world and it affects how they feel inside and that determines how they act.

Letting your Outer world control your actions robs you of your power to Create your own reality. It takes away your power to be in control of actions and you are not able choose how things make you feel.

Challenges and circumstances from your outer world will crush your Inner world and cause you to delay your progress with fear, anxiety, stress, procrastination and other similar thoughts.
But learning to focus on your Inner world so that you can choose your reactions will set you apart.
