WHAT IS INNER PEACE? HOW WE CAN FIND IT?
This inner peace fascinates me a lot and I have been thinking about it for a long time now. I feel that we can control our minds and that is what inner peace is all about, controlling our minds and bodies. We all can find it or should I say we all can achieve it because it takes time and practice to master it.
Inner peace is a mind-set. It makes us complete. It gives us energy and strength and it is a gate to ultimate happiness. Inner peace balances us and it gives us ability to enjoy life more. It gives us new perspectives for better life.
For me full inner peace is a dream, it is a dream for better life. I believe we can always be better and we can always learn new things and pursuing for inner peace is one of my goals in life. I believe we all should develop ourselves all the time and learn from our mistakes and that is what I am doing. Every day I am growing up, learning new things and making best of my life.
Good example about inner peace and why we should seek it is the movie called “Kung Fu Panda II”, the movie is about inner peace, he has to find it to save the world. What a story! It is a good movie, you should watch it if you haven’t seen it already. Basically with inner peace you can find your hidden talents and use all your resources because you are in harmony with yourself and you are able to control your body and your mind. The movie tells exactly what inner peace is, it is power which gives you amazing powers.
WHY WE SHOULD PURSUE FOR INNER PEACE?
I feel like it would be achievement which would bring peace and happiness to my life. I think by finding inner peace it would make my life much easier and I could face all the challenges without any grief or worries. I could be steady all the time and I would get more out of my life.
My life is good, it is excellent. I have amazing family and friends, I don’t have financial problems and I am happy. I do feel complete but still I worry and I get all kind of stupid feelings like anger. I don’t want to feel angry or jealous; I just want to feel happy and steady. I want to cry and feel sad but I really don’t want to feel envy or other silly feelings. I believe that full inner peace will help me to control those feelings.
By being in harmony with our bodies and minds gives us the control of our lives and feelings. It gives us energy to live. It gives us inner peace.
FINDING INNER PEACE
We can’t achieve inner peace just by deciding that I will be in peace with myself and I don’t feel any anger or any other annoying feelings anymore. Inner peace comes with dedication, time, and practice and with compassion.
Compassion
Dalai Lama writes about compassion and I just read his book about it. I believe in compassion, I agree that it is a way to inner peace and happiness. By giving compassion without any prejudice it will give us back something that we can’t buy, it gives us back fulfilment. Why it so important to get that is because we need to feel complete to be happy and compassion fills empty holes in us.
Dalai Lama divides people in three categories: love ones, neutral ones and enemies. One of his exercises is to think how we feel about all those people and give compassion to all of them. He writes that without our enemies we couldn’t find inner peace. Our enemies are our friends; they help us to find ourselves. They gives us something to work at, they gives us anger which by practicing can be controlled. So we can learn from our enemies, they help us to grow.
By giving compassion to everybody regardless their backgrounds is the key to inner peace.
Complete
We all know how sometimes we feel that something is missing in our lives and we are searching for something…We have holes in our heart. We don’t know why but we just feel that we have to search and do something to fill those holes. Some of us try to fill those holes with stuff by buying everything, thinking that it makes them feel better, it helps for a while but it is not the solution. Some of us drink and some of us try to fill those holes with meaningless relationships. We all have different ways but how we get complete is when we decide to stop searching, that is how I found my fulfilments; I stopped searching. I accepted that I will die someday and I looked around and saw how amazing my life is. I stopped living in the future and started to live in the present. I decided that I don’t need any fancy car or beautiful wife. I just need to enjoy what I have now. That is how I filled all my wholes and got my heart complete. Sometimes I still feel that I am missing something but then I go through all my things again to realize what life is all about.
Time, patient and dedication
To achieve something we always need time, patient and dedication; this also applies with inner peace. I believe I will learn more every day by practicing control my mind and studying the way I behave on different situations. I am analysing myself all the time to understand how I react on different things and I am trying to identify reasons for all my bad feelings. I study and I learn.
There is no short cut.
ENDING
I am not saying that we all should seek for inner peace but I believe that it will bring me more happiness and joy in my life. I believe it will make me a better person.
Whatever we decide to do, it is right decision. We all make our own path which will take us to the end. Life is short, we have to accept that and we all are masters of our own lives. We are in control. We make our own decisions based on our experience and that will be the outcome of our life. We all make mistakes, we are not perfect but that is life.
It doesn’t matter what we do or not do, only thing matters is that we are happy whatever we do.
Happiness is for everybody.
