Invincible inner peace is possible.
As the book, In It Together: The Beautiful Struggle Uniting Us All proves, invincible inner peace is possible.
"The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master."
I believe spiritual freedom (a.k.a. self-discipline) manifests as bravery, confidence, grace, honesty, love, and inner peace.

Although there is a possibility for the calm and quite looking fellows to be not so calm within, I think almost all who have achieved inner peace are peaceful from the outside as well.

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference."

Re: Invincible inner peace is possible.
I fully agree. How many people have you seen content and happy only to hear later on they have commited suicide or are going through a divorce. Inner and outer peace are basically the same in that aspect in my opinion.Sushan wrote: ↑November 11th, 2022, 6:04 am Totally agreed. Outer peace is just the appearance, and appearances can be deceiving. A person may maintain a calm composure while he is in a 'mental-turmoil'. So being peaceful from the outside does not say anything about the inner peace. But I am not certain about the invincibility of inner peace, as IMO it is a subjective achievement.

Re: Invincible inner peace is possible.
I wish I had control over my inner peace the way you do. My husband is a pro at it and have helped me achieve it better over the years. So I guess it is possible but maybe I am just impatient with it.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.

Re: Invincible inner peace is possible.
I am with you on this one. My mind is all over the place and I have tried many things. It has improved over the years, so it us true what you say. That internal peace isn't impossible.

Re: Invincible inner peace is possible.
I have been through a lot in my life which made me not have any inner peace. Until I met my husband. Thanks to him I have started to heal internally and mentally. If you have the right support invincible inner peace might be possible, but otherwise it might be very difficult to attain.Samantha Barnes 3 wrote: ↑January 26th, 2023, 6:45 pm Even if invincible inner peace is possible, it is definitely easier said than done. When faced with turmoil and challenges, it is natural for someone to lose their cool, even if it is just momentarily. With that being said, if someone were to just accept what is instead of stressing over what could be, that would be a great step towards invincible inner peace.
