Don't wait for peace

Glorious morning!

The quote we will expand on today is by Marianne Williamson. This quote from her is awesome to ponder.

“ Once everything falls into place’ I’ll feel peace. Spirit says, “ Find your peace and then everything will fall into place “

Oh boy have I experienced this! First a little about Marianne Williamson. She was born in 1952. She is an American author, speaker, and political activist. She began her professional career as a spiritual leader of the church of today, a unity church in Michigan. She has written several self-help books.

I am sure you can relate to her quote. Have you ever said something along the lines of “ well when I have enough money, I will be happy “ or  “When I retire, I will be able to really relax “ . Unfortunately sometimes we find out the hard way that we are giving up our personal power and birthwright to be content now. Waiting to be in a state of peace and ease is actually putting off feeling it now, and giving permission for non peaceful feelings and stress to take up residence in our soul. Why do we even do that? Avoidance. We tend to avoid confronting the reasons for why we are not at peace or why we are not happy. Well why would we do that? It requires effort and taking responsibility for our unbalanced lives. When we are not living a balanced life, we can't feel peace, just like not drinking enough water causes dehydration, which causes a host of negative physical symptoms. Our bodies need a balance of water, food, nutrients, exercise, to be in a balanced state. So it can thrive and perform optimally. When we are not giving our bodies enough of what it needs or giving it too much of what it needs, we become unbalanced. Our bodies then protest the unbalance in a variety of physical issues. Our spirit is no different. If we are not tending to our spirits and finding ways to incorporate daily peace in our lives, we get unbalanced spiritually. When we are unbalanced spiritually, we don't feel peaceful and stress becomes a dominating reality in our life, and that influences our emotions in a negative way.

How many stressed out people can say they are happy and at peace most of the time. Usually stressed out people have poor health, and have a negative view on life. Well of course they do, it doesn't feel good to be stressed all the time. You can't be peaceful and stressed at the same time. You are either one or the other. We are in control of that. People tend to think , well I can't possibly carve out time for meditation or a daily walk in nature because I don't have enough time for that! Again, It's a choice. What some don't understand is , the very things you are NOT doing is causing you to be in a state of stress. Just like our bodies rely on us to be able to function well, the same goes for our spirits. Our spirits need us to do the things that feed it properly. Daily feeding keeps it nurtured and happy. When our spirits are fed, we are more peaceful and happy. When we don't make time to cultivate daily peace, we are not happy. We pay a price for any kind of neglect to our spirit, mind and bodies. When we balance our lives through daily practices that feed our spirits, there is no need to even suggest that peace will arrive at some later date. We will already have it, because we cultivate it ourselves.

I have found this to be true in my own life. I lived most of my life not making daily habits of peaceful activities to feed my soul and I was never truly fulfilled and happy. I would not be in control of my emotions most of the time. I also would blame outer circumstances for the way my life was, and how I was feeling. One day I decided to take control of my life and my thoughts and my actions and my state of peace. That's when everything changed. I am happier than I have ever been because I have more peace in my life and I can handle any challenge that comes my way without falling apart. How about you? Are you waiting for your life of peace to arrive? If you are done waiting and you want to take action to change that, I can help. Schedule a free discovery call with me today.
