The challenging moments

Posted on by philipdodson

When we feel good, it’s easy to keep going. When we are in a peaceful environment, it’s easier to remain calm. When we are not under pressure, it’s more straightforward to be relaxed.

It’s the challenging moments in life that are harder to just be and to not react. To remain calm and at peace in the face of adversity or danger that show our true consciousness and connectedness to our true essence.

Peace is in an inside job and in whatever exterior circumstances it’s our willingness to stay within our soul and away from our thoughts, reactions and ego that maintain our calm and acceptance.

Being at peace comes with more ease alone on a mountaintop…it is a test when we are in the middle of another’s drama, or immersed with unconsciousness.

Yet peace isn’t about quiet in the exterior world it is about silence within and that comes from the gap between thoughts, the pure stillness of being.

We are more likely to experience that gap when we are focused on avoiding the distractions that awaken the mind and it’s constant thoughts.

Peace can come if we let others be and allow acceptance within of them. However, it is a choice as to whether to be trapped by our thought or not. So in fact, the circumstances of the exterior world cannot affect our inner peace unless we allow it..
