Words that Inspire: Peace

Can you have PEACE amongst chaos?

Dictionary* says:
State of tranquility or quiet, freedom from civil disturbance, a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war.

What it REALLY means:
The feeling of contentment with your life at present; your state of being when things feel comfortable, at ease, light; time in which you feel centered, calm and well.

Why it MATTERS?
Creating PEACE lessens worry, increases pleasure and enhances your 'here and now'. More PEACE in your life allows for more enjoyment and appreciation of your life.

Questions that INSPIRE:

* Describe your most recent experience of PEACE. How did it feel?
* What can you do, think or experience differently to bring more PEACE in to your life?

* How might your PEACE impact the world?
* Does PEACE conflict with excitement and adventure?

SIMPLIFY Update:

* Sometimes I THINK I need more than I really do. It can be more clothes, more money, more whatever. However the TRUTH is that I never NEED as much as I think I do...I can actually do with less, and still feel ok. To me, that is part of living a simpler life.
* Simplifying is liberating! It's cathartic and enables you to get out from under things that are draining and make room for better energy to flow in to your life.

How would SIMPLIFYING make you feel?

* More in control
* Free and limitless

What do you gain if you SIMPLIFY?

* Time and space, freedom of choice
* Space, a feeling of organization, mutual understanding
* More time, more physical activity
