Finding Peace Within Yourself

Sometimes when our life is in turmoil, we may turn to whatever and whomever we feel will help us find peace. Because our world has turned upside down, we have difficulty believing that we have the answers within us. It is easier to place responsibility onto others when we are so overwhelmed. But no matter who or what we turn to for help, there is no easy fix. If the answers we receive don't resonant with us, we continue searching and listening to others as they try to convince us that they have what we need. Know that we are all unique and everyone's path to finding peace is different. Today, think of all that is troubling you. Pretend that you are speaking to a loved one, how would you help them to resolve these problems. Listen carefully to your responses. You have the answers, but you need to overcome the fears that prevent you from resolving them. Peace is within your reach, if you let your inner spirit lead the way.

  How peaceful is our expression...

(I found this peaceful Buddha at the Lavender Farm in Kula.
It was sitting on the side of the path amongst the lavender bushes.
I guess I would be at peace too if I was amongst the fragrant flowers.
 I will remember this moment whenever I become stressed.)
