There is really only one certainty in life. Life is uncertain. We often live as though nothing will change, but it does. This continuous battle between wanting things to stay the same and finding that nothing does stay the same creates something inside us. This creation of constant change is a movement, a force of nature, and a guiding path. This movement within us and outside us is the spirit of living, of which, we all take part in.

None of us can predict the future. This creates uncertainty on the human level, yet we all learn to trust and even welcome change in the deepest part of who we are. No one is perfect, we wake up each day with the opportunity to create something different in every moment. When we come to expect the unexpected, we are beginning to trust in a wisdom greater than knowledge to lead us through each day. Religious communities call this the path of God, science calls this higher consciousness, but for our purposes - let’s call this the path we were meant to follow with certainty in uncertainty.

To move toward something we cannot see creates uneasiness. This part of us is our human nature. Our human nature wants things in life to be predictable. At the same time, there are things in human existence that we are also glad to leave behind and in the past. Have you ever noticed how the heart and the mind feel like they are being pulled forward by a magnetic force when we follow what we cannot see or feel? It is as though our whole body/self is being drawn into an experience.

This pathless path is one we all take each day and each moment. Wonder what would happen if you were to live for these moments and find joy in them? I suspect you would find yourself becoming more and more living in the state of anticipated joy. This does not mean that nothing in the future will be sad, but you can begin to accept each moment with anticipated joy in knowing that the awareness of this anticipated joy will fill you. It will be the filling of your body with the joy of living. The joy of living fully in soul. And, the uncertainty of the future will be met with joyful trust that all will be known when the time is right for us to know.

Such a journey was known to us as a child. Do you remember laying on the ground and finding yourself breathing in the aroma of the ground and grass? As an adult, I suspect you don’t have such clarity with your senses. Let us never forget that child inside us that knew how to play all day and never tire. Our creativity was endless and filled with anticipated joy in knowing that what was about to be created next would be fun. Samuel Oliver, author of, “What the Dying Teach Us: Lessons on Living”

We live in a world that takes us on a constant roller coaster ride, since we all have to work hard just to eat. When we must focus on making a living, it makes it difficult to find our inner peace. Some people believe they have inner peace when they find the job of their dreams. Still, they work along the path of life and later find that their inner peace was a short-lived serenity.

Life is a bundle of misery combined with an ounce of fun. When we consider life, our journey ahead and our path behind us follows us along the way. Inner peace is a quiet of the mind, yet many find it difficult to find that serenity to its entirety.

Taking time to discover inner peace is indispensable in order to arrive at your objective. A large number of individuals presume that to uncover their inner peace, entails having the tools to make more money than the next guy does.

To understand how to reach your point of inner peace, you must understand the mind to a degree. If you do not have a basic knowledge of the mind you might reach your inner peace, but it will be an uphill ride all the way through the process. Thus, emotions are part of the mind we must understand to find inner peace.

If someone came along today and told you that, they knew a way that you can make a million dollars right now. If this happens, your emotions will send a spark since a million dollars is nearly as reachable as getting inner peace. Thus, if you are smart you will sway away from the trigger that sparked your emotions, since most of these are frauds, or swindles to make profit for the other guy and not you. Thus, I presented this sentence to show you how the emotions work. Some people may respond to the question with a gleam in their eyes, which is a sign that the emotion is perking up. Others may tell the person to jump off the next bridge, which is another action distributed by the emotions.

Next, we can get an idea how the subconscious works, since understanding, the subconscious is essential to finding inner peace.

Case scenario: a man surviving the war of Vietnam, comes home to the states, and finds a place where he can rest without disturbance. The man wants people to leave him alone, since he suffers trauma from the war. During his stay, a person tells him a story about his life, and during the talk, the man makes a statement; my child blew up like a time bomb when I told him… The man explodes; get out of my face he stammers…

This man obviously does not have information pertaining to war, thus he just setoff an emotional stimuli re-enforced by the subconscious. During war, the children were utilized as decoys and strapped with bombs to get to the enemy. Therefore, the man sent a trigger to this mans subconscious (hidden memories), which triggered the emotions, which acted out of anger.

The man has justifiable reason to feel anger. Yet, it is obvious the man has not found his inner peace, since his emotions are depending on the subconscious mind rather than the conscious mind to guide him through life.

Traits of inner peace are apparent when a person reacts to threats to the emotions logically, and skillfully. When a person controls the emotions and subconscious, thus they have a great measure of inner peace.

Now, are you still on that roller coaster? If you are then you are missing a point. If you heard what was spoken to you, you would be right now instead of reading this article taking the steps to achieve your inner peace.

Steps to achieving inner peace is getting in touch with your inner self. Lie back on the bed and relax while allowing your mind to roam the deep channels of reality. When your mind sends you information, gather it, store it, review it, and challenge it by asking your self why do you not have your inner peace?
