Today is the World Peace Day

Actually, being in Australia, I’m already one day behind. Anyway, I just wanted to share a couple of thoughts around World Peace Day.

For most people, peace is “out there”, in our society and our community. If you live in a place where you do experience peace, you are blessed already. Not every human on this beautiful planet earth are living in peace.

But, what I want to convey here today is that it all starts with you. Inside you. In your mind. I’d like to talk about inner peace.

I have been practicing meditation for many years now. I used to suffer from anxiety and my mind was rather wild, always a background noise in my head. The beginnings were hard, I did not see much progress for months, even years. But, when I look back today, I can safely say that my mind is vastly different. More spacious. I’m happy I took the journey of meditation and seeking wisdom. I do experience inner peace and yes, I’m an ordinary being and I do have my days too. But I can come back to some calm rather quickly now.

On this World Peace Day, I would like to encourage you to start the inner journey. Find the peace inside. Then, we’ll all experience peace outside too.

Peace: a state of tranquility or quiet.
