Changing Your World Starts Inside

From Don Miguel Ruiz's Little Book of Wisdom

"How do you change your world? The first step is to have the awareness that you create your own world, it's your responsibility. Nobody else is responsible for your creation. Now, in your creation, you have conflict. Most religions, philosophies, and histories say that this conflict is between good and evil - but that's not true. The conflict between good and evil is the result of the real conflict that exists in the human mind: the conflict between the truth and lies. You change your world by believing in truth and taking action based upon this truth."

Don Miguel Ruiz asks a simple question: How do you change your world?

His answer - start with the awareness that you are creating your own world, moment by moment. That this creation is your responsibility, not because you're to blame, but because it's yours.

When we look to place blame for the state of our lives on external sources, we are unwittingly giving away our power to make changes.

This idea can land very differently depending on the state of our nervous system. For some it will feel empowering, while others may find it heaving or shaming. That's where context matters.

Ruiz challenges the idea that our inner conflict is between good and evil. Instead, he points to the conflict between truth and lies. From a nervous system perspective, many of the "lies" we live by were once necessary. They were beliefs shaped in moments when the body needed protection, predictability, or connection.

A nervous system under threat seeks safety, not necessarily truth. Over time, the lies solidify into internal rules, identities, and stories. They organize how we perceive the world - and therefore, how our world looks.

You can begin shifting your current reality when you recognize your old beliefs no longer match your current capacity or lived reality.

How does it feel to consider that the state of your life is your responsibility?
If you accept responsibility for your life, what are some small actions you can take to make the changes you want?
