Re: Invincible inner peace is possible.
I too am a MASTER at this, or I should say I thought I was. Then one day as I was talking to a stranger about a flower, we were both thinking of buying for our gardens. The lady suddenly paused, turned, and, looking straight into my eyes, said, " Whatever is causing the chaos inside your soul, let it go and you will find true peace." This threw me. I was talking normally, smiling and having a good time, yet she knew I was not truly at peace in my heart. Maybe the eyes are a window, or maybe she could feel the chaos whirling around my life. I don't know. Today I am on the road to true inner peace.meadowsem wrote: ↑January 25th, 2023, 3:34 pm I am a MASTER at projecting outer peace while my inner self is churning. The great thing about inner peace is that it is within our control to work on it, own it, and to be graceful with ourselves when we fail. I do daily affirmations to remind myself to be thankful, to accept myself, to let go of worries and stress, and to let in happiness and peace.

Oh my goodness, I love this so much! Maybe she was an empath and she could just feel your swirl.

Re: Invincible inner peace is possible.
I totally understand you! I too project outer peace to a level that must be called mastery. On the inside, though, it is a very different story. Yet my poker face never slips. It's a tough facade, and because I always look like I've got it together, I find it impossible to ask for help when I do need it. Daily affirmations really help me too.meadowsem wrote: ↑January 25th, 2023, 3:34 pm I am a MASTER at projecting outer peace while my inner self is churning.

Re: Invincible inner peace is possible.
That's right. We should all adopt an internal locus of control because we are responsible for the events that happen to us.Cheryl Erickson wrote: ↑February 26th, 2023, 8:48 pm I believe that inner peace is possible. I remember the quote, "You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control how you react to it." You have to let go of what you cannot control. You have to accept what is. Positivity over negativity

Re: Invincible inner peace is possible.
Can we say that inner peace = acceptance? If yes, what is 'invincible inner peace"? I admit I do not get the invincible part.
