Wise men always talk

If you are anxious, you live in the future.

My thoughts
My guess is being a human being it is impossible to get peace of mind, even if you follow the wise sayings 100% and unfortunately for a change, I won the challenge!
What do I do to get that eluding peace of mind?
Since I am a believer in the Almighty, I visit temples and talk to God to get my quota of peace of mind and sometimes I interact with Mother Nature. Those who see me talking to God or Mother Nature concluded that I have lost my balance!
It’s OK.
Thank you so much for taking the time to go through it and let me know if there are some more secrets from your side to add.
Thank you for your visit.
Take care, my friend.
Namaste 🙏🙏🙏

I believe that peace of mind is contentment. Everything is in His hands, so worrying about the future means doubting His wisdom and providence. It is much more productive to spend energy on making correct decisions in the present. However, we can’t help but worry about those we hold dear, which definitely disturbs our peace of mind, so we pray for them and try to help them to the best of our abilities.

Life is not constant and I don’t think peace or mind or inner peace is something that is achieved and retained. It is something we must practice, like a skill, to get to that place that gives us tranquility to appreciate peace … sometimes it can stay and be held for a while, other times it is transient. There are too many variables all impacting on us and our environment

Another Gem from you.
Agree with you totally that it’s futile to expect inner peace forever.
Humans are constantly disturbed by their 24×7 inner thoughts and our subconscious mind is highly energetic and it loves us not to rest in peace while we are alive.
Thank you my friend

Wonderfully said. I think it’s something we can get every now and then. But if we were constantly in that state, what would be the point of living? You may not be.
