Peace Comes From Within (and other thoughts on living)

Peace comes from within mural, Vancouver, BC

I believe peace comes from within. Looking outside yourself is the booby prize; there’s no fulfillment there.

I believe it’s ok to slow down. Sometimes it’s the only thing that makes a difference.

I believe in connecting with like-minded souls. They nourish me in ways unexpected.

I believe inspiration can only take you so far. You’ve gotta dig deep to take the right actions that will make a difference.

I believe laughter is the best balm to our wounds. Lighten up, the world is funny and so are you.

I believe we’re all doing the best we can. And. . .we can be and do better than that when we stop, breathe and respond. Reaction is exhausting.

I believe we each have our own unique genius. Your only job in life is to deliver that; the rest is distraction.

I believe fear is a great motivator. If you’re not afraid, it’s probably not your thing so let it go.

I believe it’s good to share and express our humanity. We’ll never get it all handled, stop pretending and embrace real.

I believe in declaration. Say what you want, say what you’ll do and say it loud so others hear and hold you to it. This should scare the pants off you.

I believe in love. . .even when it’s hard, you’re afraid, and you want nothing more than to run away. What would love do now is the answer.

I believe in living life on my terms. It’s ok that you don’t agree, you’ve got your own terms to live, so live them.

I believe in doing what it takes. Your dreams are worth the effort, so just do the work please.

I believe you get to say. . .how you want your life to go and how you want to feel about that. Don’t squander it or give it away.

I believe it’s good to rest in the unknown. You may not like it, but it’s where ‘what’s next’ is born.

I’m there now, a midwife waiting for the birth.

  1. I believe I LOVE this post and the funny, wise woman spirit who penned it. I love that you are so clear about what you believe – the clarity is proven in the succinctinicity. (Why yes, I believe I did just create a word!) I believe I am glad I know you, excited beyond description that words are falling from your fingertips again, and that we will have another skypeversation again real soon. Such a treasure, Sugar. You are such a treasure. (And hey, thanks for mentioning me here, though “thanks” hardly seems adequate.)

  6. How loud do I need to say it? And peace be with you………..:). 
     
    Everything you said is true and good advice. I think it is still good to be me and if I’m the only one who recognizes that, it is still a good thing for me.
     
    Thanks for sharing, great post. 

    1.  @bdorman264 What’s a belief you have that’s really helped you in life and business Bill? You’ve got such a great outlook on life 🙂 

  10. What a beautiful distillation of the many bits of wisdom you’ve shared with me on our journey Sandi! Thank you for this – it’s a keeper to nudge me into my deeper, more wise self.

  11. I love the anticipation in this. It as if you have distilled all the good stuff from prior living experience and condensed it all in the now so you are able to step powerfully into the future. What’s next will be amazing!

    1.  @blisshabits Just starting to get a glimmer of what’s next. It’s so hard not to rush forward and make something happen (my usual tendency!) This being patient thing is hard 😉

  12. LOVE this, Sandi. Beautifully expressed. I couldn’t agree more AND I needed the conscious reminder. It’s easy to lose sight of the deep truths that serve as the foundation for everything else we do. It’s easy to get caught up in the “everything else.” Thanks so much for the potent and timely reminder.
