Discovering the Greatest Gift: Inner Peace
Looking back on my life, I can pinpoint one specific incident that pointed me toward my greatest gift—the gift of peace that surpasses all understanding.
This peace transformed my life, and I now realize that it was the seeds planted during my darkest days that led to this profound awakening.
These seemingly challenging incidents were, in fact, great gifts in themselves.
The Valley of Death: My “Lost Seven Years”
You can read all about my journey here:
During my early days, I found myself in what I now call my “lost seven years,” a proverbial time spent in the valley of death. I literally pitched a tent there, struggling with financial woes and despair. Every viable income stream seemed to dry up, and my bank account was down to the last few hundred bucks. No clients were knocking on my door, and my marketing efforts yielded zero results. The pressure of impending financial obligations overwhelmed me, and a sick feeling of worry and panic settled in my gut. I had never felt this scared about my finances before.
The Turning Point: A Book That Changed Everything
In times of despair, I often turned to books for solace. During one of these bleak moments, I picked up “The Nature of Personal Reality” by Jane Roberts. As I read the book, two statements by Seth, channelled by Jane Roberts, stood out and struck me with a surreal feeling of calm and comfort:
Your point of power is in the present.
You create your own reality; there is no other way.
I don’t know what it was about those words that brought such faith and peace to my heart. All I know is that after reading them, I felt a sense of relief I hadn’t experienced in months of sleepless nights. As I pondered these words and read them repeatedly, something shifted inside me. It was as if I had reached the tipping point for all my worries, and the tides were finally turning in my favour.
Embracing the Gift of Peace
Filled with newfound hope, I excitedly typed out those two statements on a card and pasted them on the wall in front of me. Every time I pondered the deeper significance of those words, an inner sense of calmness and peace overcame me. This peace was unlike anything I had ever felt before. It wasn’t just a fleeting emotion but a profound, enduring sense of serenity that carried me through the toughest of times.
The Power of the Present Moment
One of the greatest revelations I had was understanding the power of the present moment. Realizing that my point of power is in the present allowed me to let go of past regrets and future anxieties. By focusing on the now, I could take actionable steps to improve my situation. This shift in mindset was pivotal in my personal transformation.
Creating My Own Reality
The second statement, “You create your own reality,” empowered me to take control of my life. It was a reminder that my thoughts and beliefs shape my experiences. With this newfound understanding, I began to reframe my thoughts, focusing on positive outcomes and possibilities. This mental shift not only brought peace but also opened up new opportunities and solutions.
The Ripple Effect of Inner Peace
As I embraced the gift of peace, it rippled through every aspect of my life. My relationships improved, my health stabilized, and my career took a positive turn. Clients started knocking on my door, and my financial situation gradually improved. The inner peace I cultivated became the foundation for a life of abundance and joy.
In closing: The Greatest Gift of All
In closing, discovering the gift of peace has been the most transformative experience of my life. It all began with a profound moment of realization during my darkest days.
The journey was not easy, but the peace that surpasses all understanding has been worth every challenge. Today, I am grateful for the seeds planted during my time in the valley of death, for they led me to the greatest gift of all—inner peace.
Embrace your journey, no matter how challenging it may seem.
Remember, your point of power is in the present, and you have the ability to create your own reality.
This realization can lead you to the profound peace and transformation you seek.
Love and respect, it will be great to hear your feedback on this one.
