Cultivating peace of mind is the way to truly live your best possible life. No, it doesn't entail becoming a hermit on a secluded island. You find inner peace when you make peace with yourself. It has nothing to do with your external circumstances, so stop searching for the perfect idyllic spot to start the practice of peace of mind. 

Obtaining Peace of mind is an inside job for sure, as nobody can give you peace but yourself. To find this peace involves quieting your mind through concentration, reflection, and meditation. Your true nature is peace thus going within and connecting with the sacred within you and is the only way to infuse your being with peace. This peace resides within you and is readily accessible even amidst external turmoil. Yes, the hardest part, in the beginning, is to learn to ignore the constant mind chatter and to just be. 

Finding inner peace is not about divorcing yourself from reality but understanding that shit happens and realizing that you do possess the necessary qualities to handle it and shake off the hubris and keep going. You start to understand that life challenges are the lessons you need in order to change, grow and transform into who you are meant to be. It is to know that challenges ultimately create the context that allows you to tap into the sacred within you which unveils the fullness of who you are. This allows you to experience inner peace. 

 Experiencing your emotions doesn’t equate to being ruled by them, but using it as a means to get a sense of your environment and the people in it. Emotions are there to alert you to the subtle psychic nuances that your other senses are not privy to. Having inner peace gifts, you with a delightful calm and serene disposition that no matter how rotten life gets on the outside, inside you will feel ok.  

Do not confuse possessing inner peace with half-arsed living. Inner peace actually allows you to tap into your limitless potential which a troubled mind hides from you. Inner peace liberates you from the shackles of useless worry and helps you to engage fully with life without allowing the intricacies of life to tarnish your shine. 

Do you feel like you are suffering right now because nothing in life seems to be going your way? Has life put you through the wringer? When you experience miseries such as job loss, financial hardship, or heartbreak, know that you and only you have the power to give yourself peace. It is through understanding that though you cannot control external events you can change how you perceive your life experiences and thus take appropriate intuitive action to ensure a better outcome for you.  

No, not by turning into a fake Pollyanna, instead by comprehending that your mindset colours your world and doing the necessary inner work to tap into the sacred within you. This gives you the intuitive insight to ensure your body, mind and spirit is in sync. Realize that you are more than how you see yourself and allow the sacred within yourself to root and ground you in love and experience the perfect peace that is your birth right. 

Hope that these quotes will inspire you to make the necessary changes to cultivate peace of mind that allows you to experience that deep inner knowing that no matter what your circumstances; you will be ok in the end. 

I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace - Helen Keller 

True understanding is gifted to you by connecting with the innate wisdom that stems from the sacred within you.

Understanding your true essence is the beginning of wisdom that allows you to experience inner peace which allows you to thrive and affect your surroundings fortuitously. 

Peace is a day–to–day problem, the product of a multitude of events and judgments. Peace is not an “is” it is a “becoming”. - Haile Selassie 

Peace of mind takes deliberate action to gain and is an ongoing process. It is something you choose and prioritize by going within and connecting with the sacred within you. Each one must strive to find their peace from within so that they can remain steadfast in their truth, not allowing outside circumstances to rob them of their innate glory. 

You cannot find peace by avoiding life - Virginia Woolf 

Detaching from the flow of life is not how you find peace, rather it is wholehearted living that will give rise to situations that force you to connect with the sacred within you. This sacred connection allows you to experience the fullness of your true self, which brings you the intuitive comprehension that a conflicted mind does not serve you nor solve anything. When you are at peace with yourself you become more solution-oriented as you are intuitively guided by the sacred within you to living authentically in sync with your innate nature. 

Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset - Saint Francis de Sales 

When you are attuned to your intuition you will be more inclined to do the right thing as the sacred within you give you guidance for your highest good so that you can express the fullness of who you truly are. No one can bring you peace but yourself. Peace is not the absence of challenging situations but the ability to tap into your sacred self to intuitively guide you through these challenges without compromising your truth. Know, that inner peace allows you to intuitively act in accordance to your highest good and infuse you with a deep sense of calm and full of joy, even amidst chaos and turmoil. When you do the right thing, you will enjoy the sense of serenity and perfect peace that accompanies it. 

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without - Buddha 

Peace comes when you understand that peace of mind is something that only you can give yourself by going within and connecting with the sacred situated within you that brings wisdom and understanding. You can never attain peace unless you have it within. This sacred power that dwells within you helps you to experience inner peace amidst turmoil knowing you are more than mere flesh and Nothing outside of you can give you peace or take it away. Decide this day to assiduously train yourself to attain peace within.  

You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level - Elkhart Tolle 

Peace of mind is not dependent on your external circumstances. Quietude allows you to go within and connect with the sacred that resides within you that gifts you the intuitive comprehension that worrying offers no solution and sickens your body, mind, and soul. Comprehend that worrying is a mind coitus of the highest order as it doesn't solve any problems but instead robs you of enjoying inner peace. This understanding that nothing outside of you can affect your true essence serves you into living wholeheartedly and unapologetically, not allowing outside circumstances to rob you of being at ease within yourself.
