Tranquility

It's all in the mind- your mind.

It's not brought about in an instant by serene surroundings,nor by the sound of soulful music, nor the beauty of summer blooms.The most luxurious surrounding can not fill an empty soul. It's like a vessel, the slightest crack will cause leaks, it can never be filled. It is not whole.

You are a precious vessel. Be the first to acknowledge this,and treasure it, and the rest of the world will agree with you.

A troubled soul is a restless one. Ask yourself- what is really troubling you? To stay in this state does not help you to find answers. Worrying does not bring answers. It tends to add confusion, incites fear and obscures the possibility of a solution.

What you need is clarity, not more confusion. Do you know what it is that clutters your mind and troubles your soul? Can you spare some time for a quiet moment? A time to step away from your problems.

Perhaps you think too much, try too hard and get disappointed too quickly. Or you give up too easily. Think of balance and the virtue of temperance.

Are you being too hard on yourself? Each day that passes by, surely there is one, just one accomplishment that you could be pleased with. One small blessing that warms your heart and puts a smile on your face!

Learn to get away from all that is threatening, scary, and downright stressful. Stress. It is the greatest source of illness, relationship discord, and lack of harmony and peace even with one's self.

Negative vibrations tend to come uninvited, working their way slowly, and then at your weakest moment, overcome you! It can devastate you.

A bright and sunny morning to wake up to is a joy to behold. Watch the diamonds twinkle and glimmer as the sun rays hit the snow, or the gently flowing waves of the lake. Ever notice the shy glint on a leaf with the morning dew.

Inhale a deep breath of fresh air, yes, that is free. It is comforting. Give yourself the gift of a quiet time, a chance to empty your conscious mind of all the agonies accumulating and congesting your mind.

Think of a traffic jam, vehicles are moving painfully slow. It eats away at the nerves; it burns gas, and wastes away precious time.

Many of us can relate to this. Think of steps you need to take to avoid this waste of energy in your life.

Have Faith, find ways to meet your quiet self. Together, you will find the inner wisdom to minimize the clutter in your mind and find clarity to propel you to positive way of thinking. Discover the wealth deep insight can add to your life.

Give yourself a few minutes of tranquility, quieten your mind, and just let go of the cares of today. No, not in a bottle or a puff . Stare at the world around you, staring can quieten the mind. Stare at the patch of blue beyond, drift with the clouds. Fill your soul with the breath of Life, warm your heart with all the blessings Life has showered you with. Small blessings mean a lot.

Yesterday is past, but today matters. Take the moment today to give yourself the luxury of tranquility. Release, surrender all your worries, all your doubts, all your anger. Trust that tomorrow is another day, a better day.

A moment of tranquility, away from the noise and concerns of the day, a moment just for you and your tranquil mind.
