Building a stronger inner life is more about recognising more strongly that you actually do already have this strong and real inner life, rather than trying to build it more and more only from the outside in. And yet the outer you is just as important as the inner you, and to fully utilise your complete inner strengths, you will need to strengthen the outer you as well. Paradoxically this can only be done by recognising and accepting first that you do indeed possess great inner strengths already inside you right now.

A stronger inner life makes for a stronger outer life, as it acts as an absorber of pain and a sustainer against feelings of hopelessness and the experiencing of outer hardships. It is like having a reservoir or a well of love and strength inside yourself in which to refresh yourself in. You can bathe in love, or take a cool drink of your real self and its truth and learn from its complete knowledge of all things, and so then the happenings in your outer life will take a back step, falling back into perspective.

The most important step is the one that you are taking inwardly. The outer steps lead to inward steps, and so never fear or think that you do not have the outer strength to take these inner steps, which are appearing to you outwardly. You always do have the strength to cope with every step that life or your inner self offers to you now. You always step up to the next step as and when you are ready to do so. But the truth is that this next step has always been strengthened for you and set up for you to take by your inner self already.

When seen like this as a part of the bigger picture and by actually seeing from this bigger picture, the currently held problems of your outer life do not matter nearly so much now. They will all begin to lose their sharpness of intensity. You will experience a lessening involvement in these your outer bodies created emotions and your currently held or believed in painful thoughts contained in and maintained by your outer mind when seen now in the light of soul, and by you now knowing of your soul's true place within eternity as only ever being itself. This place is of course as a free agent of God, acting for God freely from only love, while remaining all the time still a part of God as well.

Your inner life is a form of your outer life as well. This means that all and everything is really only your inner life, but your outer life is like that tip of the iceberg that is visible to you in the physical worlds.
