    "when chaos is all around you
the wisest choice is to create
peace within you

your peace shines outward
and supports the creation
of a new harmony

(meditation)

~ Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 120)

      “when things get tough, remember that we are not building something small, we are building a palace of peace within our own hearts. it takes determination and effort to complete something of such beauty and magnitude.”

      Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 108)

        where do good decisions come from?
a calm mind

how can you measure your peace?
by how calm you stay during a storm

how do you know if you are attached to something?
because it creates tension in your mind

where are the greatest revolutions fought and won?
in the heart

do you know why you are powerful?
because you can change the future

~ Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 67)

          “He who always listens to what other people say about him will never find inner peace.”

          Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 77)

            “The first step in defeating the shadow is to abandon all notions of defeating it. The dark side of human nature thrives on war, struggle, and conflict. As soon as you talk about ‘winning,’ you have lost already.”

            Deepak Chopra, The Shadow Effect (Page 14)

              “Thinking about interior peace destroys interior peace. The patient who constantly feels his pulse is not getting any better.”

              Hubert van Zeller, via Sunbeams (Page 100)

                “The greatest portion of peace of mind is doing nothing wrong. Those who lack self-control live disoriented and disturbed lives.”

                Seneca, Moral Letters, via The Daily Stoic (Page 145)

                  “People seek retreats for themselves in the country, by the sea, or in the mountains. You are very much in the habit of yearning for those same things. But this is entirely the trait of a base person, when you can, at any moment, find such a retreat in yourself. For nowhere can you find a more peaceful and less busy retreat than in your own soul—especially if on close inspection it is filled with ease, which I say is nothing more than being well-ordered. Treat yourself often to this retreat and be renewed.”

                  Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, via The Daily Stoic (Page 91)
