Inner Change Quotes

“To bring about the new takes not just a development of the old, but a radical leap forward - revolutionary and transforming - and that requires extra factors that were not present before.”
― Belsebuub, Gazing into the Eternal: Reflections upon a Deeper Purpose to Living

“In life, the only thing of importance is a radical, total, and definitive change. The rest, frankly, is of no importance at all.”
― Samael Aun Weor, The Great Rebellion

“In order to change the world, you must first change yourself. In order to have the right to see what is wrong with the world, you must first earn that right through seeing what is wrong with yourself. We do not become influencers, leaders and teachers, through pulling on our better attributes and applying those better attributes to a broken world like a healing balm; rather, we become influencers, leaders and teachers in this world, by performing within ourselves the purging that we wish to see take place in others.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“Being stuck serves a spiritual purpose. It's a bountiful harvest for transformation to occur. It tells us that a change is needed. More than any type of outward change, what's really being asked of us is an inner change. It could be a change of heart, change of priorities, a change of beliefs, or even a change of perspective.”
― Dana Arcuri, Reinventing You: Simple Steps to Transform Your Body, Mind, & Spirit

“It seems like such an amazing predicament to me, how one does not become a better person by seeking out in the world those who are lesser than himself and then saying, "I will be better than you because you're not as good as me." You don't become better by looking at others and trying to be better than them. You become a better person by looking at yourself in the mirror, and, seeking to overcome and to overthrow all the flaws within yourself, you overcome the weaker you, the lesser you; you become the better You, the stronger You, the higher You. That's how it goes.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“No one can give you that which you can find within yourself.”
― Belsebuub

“For spiritual change, we need to see and understand ourselves. What sees is consciousness, it is what perceives, and is essentially what we are. To understand ourselves we need to look within and study how we think and feel, and doing that is called self-observation.”
― Belsebuub, The Awakening of Perception: A Collection of Talks and Articles

“But there I was, approaching the depths of my journey. So far, I thought, I’d been wandering through the forest. But now I was approaching the mouth of the cave. I smelled the smoke of a fire burning deep inside. Something had to be burned and sacrificed. And then the fire would burn out and die. The smoke would clear. My eyes would adjust to the darkness, I thought. I’d find my footing. When I came out of the cave, back out into the light, when I woke up at last, everything—the whole world—would be new again.”
― Ottessa Moshfegh, My Year of Rest and Relaxation

“Transformation in any aspect of our life will never happen if we do not resolve to think, act and behave differently; that actually is an inner true change that manifests outwardly and can never be faked.”
― Dr. Lucas D. Shallua

“We are each a world, actually, a universe of possibilities. To make effective change in the outer world, we have to make effective change in the inner world.”
― Ciela Wynter, The Inner Journey: Discover Your True Self

“Your experiences are dictated by your own consciousness. If you start by changing the habit pattern you are in, your experiences will also change.”
― Calvin Niles, The Sun Rises in Eastmoor
