Inner
peace
is
not
some
elusive
quality
that
is
reserved
for
the
chosen
few
.
Each
of
us
can
have
inner
peace
,
if
we
are
willing
to
work
for
it
.
Inner
peace
comes
about
as
the
result
of
healing
the
wounds
of
our
lives
, putting
the
past
to
rest
,
and
learning
to
greet
the
day
with
enthusiasm
instead
of
dread
.
When
we
are
free
,
we
are
at
peace
.
Unfortunately
,
the
vast
majorities
of
people
in
our
culture
are
negative
and
resist
change
.
Most
believe
the
kind
of
change
that
brings
about
inner
peace
is
beyond
their
ability
to
achieve
.
That
kind
of
belief
allows
them
to
stay
stuck
in
turmoil
,
because
to
believe
life
transforming
change
is
possible
means
they
would
have
to
actually
do
something
about
it
!

you
quiet
yourself
enough

the

from

you
