Inner peace. Where do you go to look for your inner peace? That is a trick question, right? Inner peace is inside of you that is why they call it inner peace. It always has been and always will be there. You don’t find it. You discover it! Look into your heart, your very soul and you will see your own magic and the answers you are looking for.
I have experienced inner peace for a very long time. Even though it has always been there inside of me, it was not something I could understand right away. In the first place, I had to believe it was there. To believe there was more to me than all my physical parts. I had a soul deep inside my heart, a soul that was invisible. No surgeons ever came in contact with a soul, no science teacher ever put a soul in a sealed jar to show to his students, no doctor of cadavers ever saw a soul as he dissected a body that used to house a soul. The soul had escaped long before any autopsy had ever happened. A soul has no physical proof, that can be detected by the five senses. My physical parts are very important, because with their combined effort I have mobility, thanks to God, good health and a long life. Because of physical mobility I have been able to experience the miracles of God on a daily basis as I move around, but there is more than blood and guts…so much more! Now I know, and I therefore have inner peace! I am so blessed with every day that has been afforded to me in this very long life of 75 years since I was born. Wow!
Inner peace is knowing you were created to be all you are, and to have more than you will ever need to be happy and successful in your life. You were born having all the tools you will ever need to reach your total potential. How great is that? However, you must know your God given talents are the gifts you already have. In the beginning, even before you could talk, you knew who you were and what your gifts were. Then you started to walk and all of a sudden, your knowledge was compromised, as you changed into being a mobile one year old. The word you heard most often was “NO” You couldn’t talk much yet, but your actions were controlled so you would be able to learn the ways of the world. You knew about God and Heaven, because you were Heaven sent. However, you were unable to share your knowledge, because you were unable to verbalize your thoughts yet. By the time you were two, you had forgotten so much. So then, you were on a journey of a lifetime to rediscover who you really were.
In youth, especially during your teenage years, there were a lot of conflicting thoughts. You didn’t know who you were, but you knew you were so much more. So far you were a combination of what other people wanted you to be, and a combination of how they wanted you to act, but you had no idea who you really were. There was no inner peace for you at that time of your life. You might have been angry or mad. You might have been sad, but for sure on some level you were confused. Your parents and relatives might have said they loved you, but you did not even know yet who you were, how could they love you when you were so far only a reflection of who they were. You were without your own identity. You were in deep water and did not yet know how to swim. You were drowning in your own immaturity.
In your twenties, you tried to figure out your identity, to find inner peace. No one had told you, that you could not find inner peace, you had to discover it. Inner peace was not something you could get out of the world around you, no matter how much money you had. But no one told you that, so you kept buying. No peace there. Where oh where could the inner peace be found, to make a long story short, there is no formula for inner peace, other than the only place you will discover it, is inside of yourself. You might never discover it, or maybe it will take you a long time. You are a totally unique individual, and you have to figure you out for yourself. But I will encourage you by telling you, once you discover your peace, the whole world will change for you! You will be beyond joy and happiness, and you will easily be able to enjoy the life you have been given. It is all a gift. It is so worth being on this personal journey of yours. If you are diligent and determined to discover who you are and who you were meant to be, all the pieces will eventually fall into place, and then day by day your life will become a wonderful experience for you. You will know what to do and will want to do what it takes to be happy and successful! Don’t be sad! Be glad.
Then when you are as old as I am, or older, you too will be able to say this is the best day of my life so far. It gets better and better as you get older and older! Someone who was even older than I am, told me, “Never give up”! I will say too always be ready to die, but at the same time always be ready to live! Never give up! Make every day the best day of your life so far!
Love to one and all!
