Inner Peace

I am in love with the term Inner-Peace. I give full due credit to whoever coined that term in Kung Fu Panda.
I am going to work on getting some myself today. Going to indulge in some self-love, self pamper. Really, how many times do we all actually give time to ourselves? When was the last time you took yourself out for your favorite food, wore your favorite clothes, bought the DVDs you like and call everyone you care about and tell them so. Not too often atleast no? I think, to love someone really deep, you must also have a part in your heart that loves you. That cares for your hearts whispers. I want to be clear that I am not suggesting that you do what some foolish myth says “Give ’til it hurts!” That’s the most absurd thing when you really think about it. Giving feels good. When it stops feeling good, it is time to re-evaluate the relationship with yourself and with the other person.
Some folks have been taught to believe that if you just dig deeper, go further and push through resentment you’ll somehow be a better person. That leads to deep-seated anger which won’t stay hidden forever. We give love because we want to. Simple as that. Sure, sometimes, we have to do a few mental gymnastics to remind ourselves of the principles we choose to live from in this moment. It doesn’t always come completely naturally. We may have to undo a few ‘gifts’ from the past to embrace our possible now.
Sometimes in everyday life you just go on and do the same thing again and again - and just give, never getting anything back in return. Time to change things a bit now. Go. And indulge. Enjoy. Relax. Love. Find your inner peace. Its totally worth it.
