Be yourself happy


How does one obtain inner peace?

Inner peace is not spoken of frequently. When it is spoken of, thoughts of monks, and devotion to an austere life comes to mind.

This is just not the case. Inner peace is your center. It is the foundation of who you are and what you stand for. If you know who you are and what you stand for another person with a different center a different perspective will not be able to knock you off your foundation with a few thought provoking questions. In fact, if such a discussion did arise the conversation should strengthen the foundation of both individuals.

This state of well-being of course is not easily achieved. I find myself constantly discovering that I have not defined thoroughly enough my foundation. It is this self-introspection that can be painful and depressing if ignored.

Through introspection inner peace can be achieved.
