Inner Peace - Destiny or Choice?

I loved playing a game with my attention when I was little; I loved staying alone, and listening. I wanted to know how quiet this world could be. At first, my attention would be caught by louder sounds, like the cars driving on the road, people speaking and laughing. Then I would gently move my attention to the quieter part of the experience, to some quieter sounds like the sound of the clock or the wind. And as I kept doing it, ultimately my attention would stop in a constant, steady vibration, and what I experienced beyond that, was a huge, complete Silence.

Most people think that having “inner peace” means being in a situation where there is no noise, no problems to solve or no confusion that needs to be figured out. But the reality is that inner peace can never be experienced constantly if it’s dependent on outside events; since the outer world is always changing.

Absolute Inner Peace already exists. It is not anywhere else but within the core of your being. It is the silent place that never comes and never goes; it is a place that you can experience simply by detaching your attention from the loud and changeable.

That place is the source of all peace, joy and love. And it is your choice whether to experience it or not, moment by moment. You don’t need to beg for peace from the outside, but to fully recognize that you have it already within yourself. Ultimately you will realize that you are not having or feeling peace; but you are Peace itself.

Everyone deserves to live a life of unbounded peace, without exception. True Inner Peace doesn’t belong to someone that’s more fortunate or special; it belongs to anyone who wants more of it in their lives, and is willing to do anything in order to dive in to their true nature.

What you are searching for is already there. It has been waiting for you to stop running away from it and recognize that its Presence has always been within you.
