There is great wisdom in the famous saying that the external world is a reflection of the internal world. However, one can understand and agree with her only after passing a certain path of self-knowledge and observation of oneself. It also opens up opportunities for internal and external life changes.

Regardless of which areas of spiritual growth are closer to you, if you want to know yourself and the world, try to develop one useful, but very difficult habit for an unprepared person as soon as possible. It is a habit to watch yourself. It is about observing your own behavior, the events taking place in your life and your reaction to them, your own feelings and emotions. Put in your head such an “observer” who will follow and remember everything that happens to you.

You will feel the effect of this habit later. And he will be twofold. On the one hand, in each of us such an “observer” has existed since childhood. That is why we can remember the past and analyze our behavior. However, on the other hand, starting to intensely observe your experiences and actions, you seem to cease to be a direct participant in the events, becoming their unemotional witness. After some time, you will notice unexpected changes.

Probably the first thing you see will be the recurring situations that occur in your life at regular intervals. They can be associated with interpersonal communication, with some events at work or personal relationships. Usually, human behavior in similar situations is formed in accordance with the same role model. The result is a kind of automatism: there are hundreds of similar situations that have hundreds of different solutions, but due to habits, each person acts the same all the time, and in the end receives a logical result, even if initially he strove for a completely different one.

After a while, you will begin to notice similar patterns in other people's lives. This will allow you to see how complicated and at the same time the world is clearly organized: each person forms his own life, and any decisions that he or she takes throughout life will certainly have their consequences and through complex relationships, situations and relationships with others people affect him. How you will further change your inner and outer world is up to you. The key to knowing yourself and the world is in your hands.
