As the portal of this year closes and the gateway to the new year opens, some reflective points to ponder, if you wish, about nurturing your peace of mind.
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27. Consider- if we have been given peace, then, like “rain that does not need watering” (Efrat Cybulkiewicz), we already have within us, the peace that we seek.

“It is the garden of peace you seek, but it is not a tangible place that exists in the world — it is within. Go there, within.”― Bryant McGill
“When you do the right thing, you get the feeling of peace and serenity associated with it. Do it again and again.”― Roy T. Bennett

“Take the time to slow down, relax, meditate, and contemplate the wonders within. You will discover an inner calm and balance that previously eluded you.”
― Joanne Madeline Moore
“we must learn an inner solitude wherever or with whomsoever we may be. We must learn to penetrate things and find God there.”― Meister Eckhart

“Peace is life. Love is life… We, as human beings, have the gift of self-awareness… We must learn to turn our minds towards the peace and love that we are flowing within at any given moment. This is the key to serenity.”― Vironika Tugaleva
“Inner peace is a quiet evening moonlight walk in the soft falling snow of our minds”― Wes Adamson

“Always make decisions that prioritize your inner peace.”― Izey Victoria Odiase
“Sometimes the pandemonium of life’s imperfections leads you to the perfect peace of your own unconditional acceptance.”― Curtis Tyrone Jones

“Once we learn to stably regulate our attention, we can be fully present in our joy, compassion, and love; in turn, we can deny oxygen to our anger, anxiety, and self-cherishing. This is the first step towards lasting inner tranquility.”― Kyle Parton
“Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
“We are all on a journey to mastering our inner peace.” ― Raheem DeVaughn
