HEAL FROM WITHIN

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” Rumi
I used to believe that transformation began outside of me — that if I could fix the world’s problems, heal others’ pain, or bring peace to every heart, then somehow the world would be made right. I poured myself into causes, conversations, and crusades for peace, thinking that if I pushed hard enough, I could shift humanity’s course. But wisdom, as it so gently does, comes not through striving — it comes through surrender. It whispered one day, “Teri, the world does not need your cleverness. It needs your light.” That truth stopped me. I realized that all my energy spent trying to change what was “out there” had to begin in here — in my heart. Because peace cannot ripple from chaos; love cannot flow from resentment; and healing cannot be given from an unhealed vessel. I began to turn inward. I looked into the mirror of my soul and asked, “Where is love not yet leading?” I saw old patterns of fear and control, places where judgment had dimmed my light. And rather than condemn those places, I brought them compassion. I invited the angels into those spaces of shadow and said, “Teach me how to love this, too.” It is in that sacred turning inward — that gentle re-centering — that the real change begins. As I grow softer, more accepting, more present, I find the world around me softens too. The peace I once tried to force now flows effortlessly from my being.
Dear Angels, why do we so often believe the world must change before we can find peace?
Dear Ones, because you have forgotten that you are the world — not separate from it, not a visitor upon it, but a living cell in the heartbeat of Creation itself. Every thought you hold ripples outward like a wave upon still waters. Every prayer you whisper becomes a breeze that stirs another soul to hope. Every act of kindness sends light traveling through unseen realms, touching hearts you may never meet in this lifetime. When you bring peace into your own heart, you do far more than quiet your mind — you attune yourself to the divine harmony that sustains the universe. You become a tuning fork for grace, radiating calm into the collective field of humanity. When you forgive yourself, the vibration of forgiveness rises everywhere, softening hardened hearts and melting invisible walls of separation. Dear One, you are not merely a participant in this world’s unfolding — you are a co-creator of it. The moment you choose love over fear, compassion over judgment, stillness over reaction, you shift the balance of energy on Earth. Change yourself, and you change the world — for the light you awaken within becomes the dawn that others awaken to. Your healing becomes humanity’s healing. Your peace becomes the planet’s peace. And your remembrance of who you truly are becomes the song that calls all beings home.
Angels Whisper: Begin where you are. Tend the garden of your soul, and soon the fragrance of your love will fill the world.
Today, I promise to continue to change what is inside of me.
