ON INNER PEACE
Learn to get in touch with silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.
Elizabeth Kübler-Ross

Peace, or freedom from conflict, is the absolute core of happiness. It is in learning to watch our sense of peace that we avoid unhappiness. All forms of misery are heralded by a frame of mind that must become immediately recognizable if we are ever to gain mastery in happiness…Take the time to look in your heart and be clear. Walk through life being clear. Practice doing each thing in peace.
Hugh Prather
You cannot have peace in your outer life unless and until you have first established peace in your inner life. It is in the inner world that everything starts.
Sri Chinmoy
Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.
Isak Dinesen
Bless a thing and it will bless you. Curse it and it will curse you….If you bless a situation, it has no power to hurt you, and even if it is troublesome for a time, it will gradually fade out, if you sincerely bless it.
Emmet Fox
Meditation is simply about being yourself and knowing about who that is. It is about coming to realize that you are on a path whether you like it or not, namely the path that is your life.
Jon Kabat-Zinn
It is only in the intentional silence of vigil and meditation, or in the quiet places of nature, that we encounter the song of the universe. Like the wind through the telegraph wires, this song echoes along the pathways of the cosmic web: it includes the celestial spinning of the planets, as well as the hum of insects and the dancing song of the grass; it includes the song of all the ancestors and spirits as well as the beating of our own hearts.
Caitlin Matthews
Stillness, insight, and wisdom arise only when we can settle into being complete in this moment, without having to seek or hold on to or reject anything.
Jon Kabat-Zinn
There must be quite a few things a hot bath won’t cure, but I don’t know many of them.
Sylvia Plath
Remember, one hundred years from now, all new people.
Richard Carlson
If someone throws you the ball, you don’t have to catch it.
