Episode 3830: Richard Paterson explores the surprising truth that peace isn’t something you need to achieve through mental stillness or perfect conditions, it’s already within you. Even in the midst of emotional turmoil, moments of deep presence or focus can effortlessly uncover the peace that’s always been there. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.thinklessandgrowrich.com/peaceful-mind/ Quotes to ponder: "You don’t need to have a peaceful mind to experience peace. Peace happens naturally when the mind subsides." "Peace never leaves you. You leave peace." "When you give your full attention to the present moment, thinking temporarily stops and, in the absence of thinking, what remains is peace."
