Who Gives You Peace of Mind: The Journey Within

Its Only You Buddy

No one cares about you - everyone is busy with their ups and downs, except your parents. Just take a deep breath and follow your passion, which makes you feel a little bit relaxed and calm.

Encouragement and Support

Look Man, I Know There’s Other Who Don’t Care Bout You

And you probably don’t know me, but just know that you have my encouragement and support. You’re a one in 4 trillion; you’re an amazing person.

Miracles of Connection

The Path to Inner Peace

I’m the Only One Who Can Bring Peace to My Mind

When I'm stressed or overthinking, I just have to practice leaving my mind alone and letting it calm itself. I do this with a mindfulness practice. I first focus on my breath, and when that’s locked in, I aim my awareness at my mind and just observe without interfering. This practice brings with it the energy of compassion and acceptance.

These energies, when combined and aimed at the mind with heightened awareness, allow the mind to calm itself because I have stepped out of it. It's like the quote from Alan Watts, "Of course you can’t force your mind to be silent. That will be like trying to smooth ripples in water over the flat iron. Water becomes clear and calm only when left alone."

By stepping back and allowing my mind to calm or the water to settle and become smooth, I effectively bring peace to my mind. Any noise cannot cause silence; anything from outside cannot bring that silence; you merely seek it, and it produces thought as noise.

True Inner Peace: A Personal Reflection

Nothing Comes from Any Person, Place, or Thing

Peace does not come from any person, place, or thing; it comes from you being aware, having clarity, and feeling complete of your own nature.

If your peace comes from outside via a person, place, or thing, then you will have shades of peace combined with shades of fear - fear of loss, as all those things can be taken away from you at any time. When your peace is awareness-based, then it cannot leave you; it is you!
