What really matters.
Currently I am in the process of reading John Ortberg’s When the Game Is Over It All Goes Back To the Box. In the chapter called Master the Inner Game he describes the distinction between our outer and inner selves and compares it to a game of tennis.
“Every game is composed of two parts, an outer game and an inner game. The outer game is played against an external opponent to overcome external obstacles, and to reach an external goal. (…) The outer game is what people see, what gets admired or disdained or ignored.
But there is another, more important game going on in the mind of the player. It is played against nervousness, doubt, and self-condemnation. It requires the offering of the will and the focus of the mind. Victories at the INNER game are the SOURCE of all TRUE JOY and GROWTH. The possibility of inner mastery is the highest reason why we play the game. (…)
The outer you is temporary. The inner you is eternal.”
No matter how hard we try to develop and present our outer self, it is not going to fulfill us. Nice outer image can make us and others feel content temporary, but it has no value if the inner self is not at peace. I have always known this truth, but reading this book and particularly this chapter has been a very good reminder that I also wanted to share with you. Beauty comes from within.
