The outside very often reflects the inside

The outside very often reflects the inside - I was talking to a lady about the summer we had in Edinburgh two years ago, and we felt differently about it.

I experienced the summer as nice, warm and sunny, while she experienced it as cold, windy and rainy.

Same summer experienced differently.

When our internal world is like a storm, chances are that the outer world matches that. Some would still call this a manifestation, and I'd like to share my opinion on it.

If you read my opening line again, you will see that I said often, not always. I don't believe that everything that's happening outside of us is a manifestation of our inner world.

I believe that we also play a part in someone else's journey sometimes, or there's a lesson we need to learn. I believe that each of us is an element of the Divine energetic network, thst we are interconnected, therefore what happens on the outside is not just for you/because of you.

Of course, what we focus on grows. So the longer your inner world continues to be a storm, the longer the outer world is perceived as a storm.

My point with this post is be aware of what you think, feel and do, and for how long. All emotions are good, but none is good when sitting in it for prolonged period of time. I believe that, as human beings, we are meant to experience a spectrum of emotions in order to grow. What changes as we grow is the intensity and length of time with which we perceive these emotions.
