I have just been preoccupied lately by the concept of inner peace. Exactly what is inner peace and how can one achieve it? I think the answer to this question would be relative and would differ according to different individuals. The difference would be based solely on a variety of our beliefs and faith(s). Can business owners and busy people in general achieve inner peace within themselves? I think the answer would be a big ‘YES’.
Spiritual and meditation gurus say everybody can achieve inner peace and happiness.
Irrespective of your race and your status in a society. Inner peace is experienced when one has reached a state where he is no longer influenced by the material world, but controls the temptations caused by it. The person who is experiencing inner peace has managed to love himself / herself, others and be loved in return. This individual is not shy to share love with people anywhere and anytime. This person will be able to attract and surround himself with loving people. This person is able to smile and be happy with everyone. Those who do not love him, do not matter most as the problem lies within them and not with him.
I think business people can achieve inner peace if they can start giving the concept of self love and loving others a chance. It is always a good feeling to be aware that you are being loved and also sharing that love with everyone. If business people share their love with their team members (employees), suppliers and clients. In return they will get loving employees, suppliers and clients. It will be a better and a loving environment to work within. Business will continue to flow within the network.
Ultimately with time the business person might achieve inner peace from inner love. The fight for inner peace is what we should fight for instead of fighting for material gains. What is the point for having all the material world can offer, and yet you are forever angry? It is not an easy thing to achieve as the world if full of negative people with negative vibes. It is not easy as the environment plays a pivotal role in our character. I have experienced that and I know that a negative environment breeds a grumpy person. Look around and within yourself and see why are you not experiencing inner peace.
I have started focusing on myself and I have accepted that you cannot change a person. I have made peace with the fact that some people, including those that I do business with, are always negative and there is nothing I can do about it. I have started to meditate and I meditate about happiness and love. I feel good after each meditation session.
I have started loving myself more. I do things that make me happy and I attend my needs first and needs of others after. I know with time I will be more loving and I will attract lovely people. Loving people with warm hearts, be it in business or socially.
It is possible and necessary that we spread our love and happiness with everyone. If it is done genuinely, people will see it in your face. You will also feel it within and gradually you will start to smile and you level of happiness with grow, Love yourself more and complain no more about yourself.
Everyday, Look in the mirror and tell the person you see that you love him / her much.
