Serenity

When life flows smoothly, we think we have achieved a state of inner peace.  Our relationships are harmonious, the bills are all paid and there is still money in the bank, we are healthy and energized to enjoy all the pleasures just waiting to be chosen.  We are happy and satisfied.  Yet everyday life isn’t always like that.   If we are able to remain calm and balanced during the turbulent, emotionally charged phases, than we truly live in that blissful consciousness that so many frantically search for.
 
Inner peace is within reach of everyone.  It is not dependent on material status or popularity, on where we live, our age or our health, or any other outer circumstance. Thinking futile, anxious thoughts is a habit that can be changed.  The first requirement is to become aware of the incessant chatter that creates mental chaos and then to become willing to consciously act differently.  It’s almost like we have to step outside of ourselves and become the neutral observer.  When we see the impact of our emotions, our dislikes, judgments and fears, have on our body, this realization liberates us from the attack/defense mechanisms that we let control us.  In doing so, we begin to understand that we are someone of much greater intelligence than the discordant energy that is rocking our vessels.  Thus, it becomes a great asset to be able to silence the mind. 
 
Our life is shaped according to our thoughts and the field of possibilities is immeasurable!  The present moment is all we have to work with.  It is our tool for transformation.  When we  resist what is, we energize a problem, making it even more powerful.  Accepting what is, however, doesn’t mean giving up. It just means that we put ourselves in a better position to take action when necessary.  Somewhat counterintuitive, when you accept what is, it loses much of its power to rob your inner peace. It just is.  When we see more clearly and objectively, we can take the appropriate action to change our situation.  Being able to keep oneself strong in the face of stress and discord emits a powerful frequency to which others will be attracted.  With this disposition of serenity, we not only become more of who we are, but so also do they.
