Inner peace is not something we are striving for, what we are fighting for, but the state of the mind, the state of the heart, and finally the state of thought that we achieve... with love. Anyone who truly loves knows that life is the way it should be. And he is ready to accept everything with complete inner peace.
Sometimes it seems to me that inner peace is actually the last stop to which we strive and nothing else. All the work that we do for ourselves, all meditation and the purification of thought and body leads us in this direction. The more we work on ourselves, the less we are involved in various social events which take from us energy and cause in us negative emotions, and at the same time we are ever closer to human and humanity, while at the same time we feel a lot more good and find much more peace in ourselves than in life without spiritual values.
But people have a different notion of things and the phrase 'inner peace' is a real opportunity for a demonstration variety of definitions for this particular state of mind.
The general idea of inner peace says that inner peace is a state when no one and nothing can get us off the track. Is that possible at all? Is the inner peace just a point, where we can only feel bliss, but everything else we just simply accept as a part of the journey? If this is inner peace, it is unavailable to me. But if we just "shake" a bit the inner peace and we say that this is a state of mind, where we accept life with dedication and trust, no matter what it offers us, while at the same time maintaining an internal balance, it seems much more possible and attractive than first.
The greatest difficulty in finding inner peace is our distorted notion of ourselves. We are so adaptable creatures that we keep forgetting who we are and what we really feel when we start to march around the society and its networks. If you were ever under stress, did you know it and notice at the same moment or did you need the time to acknowledge that you are really burning out? This way of our behavior is very dangerous because, over the years - even if we don't do any work on ourselves - it brings us to situations that we are not aware of at first and at the same time we are no longer able to see them, as they really are.
It is therefore important that we know and control our thoughts and important to think about our lives, to relax, meditate and connect with nature. Because once we forget about ourselves, when the flow of life takes us with, then we are so deeply immersed in the performances imposed by others that we forget who we are and that we do not even think that we are doing anything wrong at all.
So don't forget: Wherever you are, let the peace be your own choice and everyone you meet on your way invite to join in.
Couldn't agree more. I think allowing ourselves to find peace is the most self-loving thing we can do. It gives us perspective and enables us to live happily without the weight of anxiety.
Great article @emmamia . I totally agree, finding the inner peace is crucial for every single each of us. We have to look after our own mind and spirit as wellas the body so then we can be better to others, planet and the universe projecting peacful, loving energy.
Thank you @ronimm for stopping by and for all your words. You managed to sum everything up so good.
Great post. I've found that meditating and controlling my thoughts is huge for my outlook and inner happiness. Now following, hope to read more of your blog. Thanks!
I think inner peace is our natural state but we get so distracted by what's going outside ourselves we forget and think we need to do something to get it back. But when we take the time to take a step back and appreciate where we are right now, our thinking clears and our natural inner peace can resurface.
Indeed. Well said. We are too often distracted and we just have to stop and think about it.
Exactly! 😊
Awesome post. I've discovered that thinking and controlling my considerations is immense for my standpoint and internal joy...
Upvoted and resteemed
Thank you.
Extraordinary article @emmamia. I absolutely concur, finding the internal peace is essential for each and every each of us. We need to care for our own particular personality and soul as well as the body so then we can be smarter to others, planet and the universe anticipating peaceful, cherishing vitality.

Thank you. I agree, but I think that unfortunately no matter how smart we are, we just think too much about the humans and too little about the Earth itself...
nice post @emmamia
Thank you.
you're welcome @emmamia! i am wishing you a prosperous new year.
Wow I found this article so helpful in the sense that no matter what happened or about to happen you still have to control your thoughts that life is like that and at the end life is still beautiful. So that I assume is inner peace. I feel that it is the moment within ourselves that we keep balancing forces that we can't control but we strive to be calm and at peace.
Thank you. That's the whole point. Being in balance inside and to think positive, no matter how harsh the life around is.
We find peace with ourselves when we accept things for the way they are in the moment.
When we stop fighting ourselves or stop trying to stop suffering from coming into our lives and just let things happen the way they are supposed to, we will find a sort of peace, a contentment, an end to striving.
The problem is finding peace with each other!! Now that's an entirely different situation :)
I totally agree with you.
Although I think some of us already have the problems finding peace in us, before even talking about whole other situation you mentioned. :)
Nice post
