Do you want to achieve the calmness and serenity that comes with inner peace? No problem; anyone can! All you need to do is let go of the stresses and strains of daily life and make time to just be.
This is, however, a lot easier said than done, especially given the stressful lives we lead – the worries of work, challenges of raising kids and even finding time for romance. If you are having a difficult time just ‘being’ then consider these quotes for practical inspiration when it comes to channeling your inner peace:
Simplify
“The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace. A persistent simplification will create an inner and outer well-being that places harmony in one’s life.” – Peace Pilgrim
Reflect
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. – Buddha
Love more
“Love and peace of mind do protect us. They allow us to overcome the problems that life hands us. They teach us to survive… to live now… to have the courage to confront each day.” – Bernie Siegel
Forgive
“My heart forgives and releases. Inner peace is my goal.” – Louise Hay
Embrace life
“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” – Lao Tzu
Be yourself
“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. When you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don’t try to be a magnolia flower. If you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life. True happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
