The Secret to Inner Peace ….

Enjoy this re-post. Wisdom is always worth repeating, and this has stayed with me over the years.

I love this perspective from philosopher, author and blogger James Need. There are 3 key elements for us to connect with that bring inner peace. Take a few quiet moments to really absorb these words into your being.

Understand – Accept – Forgive

Understand that everything that happens to you is to help you learn and grow, even if you don’t agree with it. Understand that, even though people may do things you don’t agree with, it is part of their learning experience.

Accept that this needed to happen exactly the way it happened in order to cause you to get to this new place of understanding. If things you don’t like hadn’t have happened, you wouldn’t be who you are today. So relax and accept that this moment is exactly as it needs to be.

Forgiveness is true wisdom. To forgive is to understand why all things happen the way they do, to be able to see with clarity and understanding the learning opportunity in every moment. Forgiving yourself, others, and the world, understanding that all things happen exactly as they’re supposed too.

Remember it is only our resistance to the present moment that causes us to suffer.

So be easy on yourself and others, take time to understand and move into acceptance and forgiveness.

Namaste
