finding peace
“You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.”
― Eckhart Tolle
Eckhart Tolle is one of the most respected and well-known spiritual teachers in the world; he’s most famous for his book The Power of Now, which is an incredibly powerful book but will probably require you to read it a couple of times to integrate the Power of Now into your life fully.
While he’s not directly telling you to live your authentic life, when I read this quote, I couldn’t help but see its alignment with finding your authentic Self and life—aligning your spirit, mind, and body.
When you connect with your authentic Self and begin to get clear on what your authentic life is supposed to look like, you no longer need to rearrange anything in your life—the pieces begin to rearrange themselves for you.
Peace is a word I’ve used frequently in the last couple of weeks as I’ve caught up with friends to kick off the new year; I’ve described that so far this year (and it actually started towards the end of last year) that I feel as if I’m operating with a new level of peace—a peace I want to protect.
As I was writing this Note, I made the connection that the peace I am experiencing came after I got even more clear on who I am and where I’m heading; I can pinpoint precisely when this clarity came last year and shared bits and pieces of it in past Notes (if you’re only reading today’s Note you can tap into the podcast version to hear a little more about this as I dive deeper into the post on the podcast).
If you are seeking more peace, just like many things in the Pursuit of your authentic life, start from within.
