Peace

It is easier to feel peaceful in nature. However, if we are lost in thought and not aware of the silence within us we will not experience peace. If our attention is on the present moment, we will feel peaceful in the middle of a crowded, noisy city.

Peace is not something to be sought in the outside world. We need to recognize it within ourselves.

Our addiction to compulsive thinking keeps us from being peaceful. By constantly drawing our attention away from our thoughts and towards being present, we will be one with our true nature.

Let's embody peace.

Awareness

We have a choice.

We can go through life in an unconscious state, bouncing from emotion to emotion, alternating between happiness and depair, desire and frustration. We can continue be a victim of our conditioning with no control over our destiny.

Or, we can take control of our lives, our thoughts and our emotions, and move into alignment with our higher selves.

There is nothing that we have to figure out or do to regain control. By bringing our attention to our thoughts, emotions and actions without judgment, the perfect solution to every challenge will be revealed. We gain more from surrendering what we think we know than trying to figure out solutions.

Let's increase our awareness by bringing our attention to what we are thinking and doing. By bringing our attention to the present moment, we will be in harmony with our Divine nature.
