Inner Peace

Symptoms Of Inner Peace


An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.

A tendency to think and act spontaneously, rather than on fears based on past experiences.

A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others and judging other people.

A loss of interest in conflict.

A loss of the ability to worry.

Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.

Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.


Frequent attacks of smiling.


An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.



Inner Peace is contagious... Pass it

Have a terrific day

Mickey,

What a great thread. Inner peace is a wonderful thing. The ability to enjoy the trip and not just the destination. I try to find it all the time and I think I succeed a lot. I'm still a worrier, but I tend to worry about little things now and not the great big things I can't control

Bottom line is we all have things happen that disappoint us, the key is to not let them turn us bitter. To look at the positive side of things, not the negative.

I learned this when I was diagnosed with cancer in '90 and it was reinforced in '97 when I lost my mom to cancer. We had a trip to Disney schedule that year and had to cancel it. I also lost my job that year. What I did have was 6 wonderful months with my mom in order to say good-bye. I found a new job, we've been back to Disney many times, but nothing can take away the fact that she found inner peace before she died and so did I.
