Yup. Doing inner work tremendously pays off. When you realize that every little piece inside of you corresponds to something in your life, you will no longer chase achieving a certain outcome in a relationship or your job, by talking or something, but mostly focus on what is it inside of you that is creating that thing that you dont want in your life.
Or in other words... what is life telling you with a situation, about some unresolved issue inside off you?
Nice way of putting it :)
As I have experienced over many years, all is interconnected, nothing separate. So the present moment is a product of past and future,even though time itself is an illusion.
