Welcome to the internal game
Im Val, i’ll be your guide.
Strategy isn’t what you’re missing.
Neither is another goal.
And becoming a future version of yourself isn’t what makes you feel at home.
And chasing a future version of yourself isn’t what unlocks what’s already inside.
Underneath it all, you’re navigating a game, whether you know it or not.
Most people are playing what I call The External Game.
They’ve been taught that worth, power, freedom, and love are outcomes.
That if they just achieve enough, acquire enough, become impressive enough, then they’ll arrive.
And for a moment, they do.
When the relationship lands.
When the number hits the bank account.
When the recognition finally comes.
There’s a rush. A settling. A sense of this is it.
But it never lasts.
Because nothing external can permanently hold an internal state.
So the game continues.
New goals. New milestones. New versions of “once I get there.”
Until something begins to crack.
Not because you failed, but because the things you thought would complete you never do.
Leading to the moment most people misunderstand-
It’s not that something is missing. It’s that something inside of you is simply being activated.
You didn’t feel worthy because of the achievement.
The achievement activated worth that already lived inside you.
You didn’t feel powerful because of the outcome.
The outcome temporarily unlocked power that was already there.
Nothing can activate what doesn’t already exist.
Which means the entire premise of The External Game collapses under one simple truth:
You already are everything you’re trying to become.
And that’s where The Internal Game begins.
One where the work is no longer about chasing states,
but about sustaining them.
About discovering the architecture of your inner world.
About building a relationship with your body, your nervous system, your patterns, your intuition, and your truth.
This is not about bypassing the material world.
It’s about no longer being run by it.
Because when your internal world is grounded in clarity, safety, and integrity, the external world organizes itself naturally.
Not as proof of your worth.
But as evidence of it.
