Incredible India monthly contest of September #2| Inner peace or outer Joy!

Wealth is good, having all the good things in life is a great joy, but having this inner peace is a total blessing in disguise. Sometimes, we feel money is everything without remembering the peace we enjoy in our souls. Inner peace is that peace of mind and fulfilment we have and joy concerning every aspect of life. It is a life devoid of worries and troubles.

Let's dive into the contest. Welcome to my blog friends.

I choose inner peace. It is that peace of mind we enjoy concerning everything. It is calming and holistic. It lasts longer than the outer joy, it gives rest of mind without any doubt or fear concerning life generally. Inner peace radiates from the soul and not from the lips. It doesn't come through physical wealth or achievement but through the creator (God). That's why inner peace is long-lasting, it's not momentary. Meanwhile, outer joy is just momentary, it's just for a short time. It doesn't last long. Inner peace comes from personal or physical achievements. That is, it comes when we have physical things on sight. Whenever the thing that brought the outer joy finishes (fades), the joy is gone too, because it was built on material things and not directly from God.

I may not have all the good things of life, but I have that inner peace and contentment that everything is alright and shall be better.

Yes, I believe that everyone can experience outer joy and not experience inner peace. Inner peace comes with understanding because of the blessings of contentment one has, knowing he/she is satisfied. It takes a deeper understanding to have inner peace, but anyone who has experienced success or achieved something can be happy or experience outer joy at that particular time but may later feel sad about something he/she does not have.

When someone is contented with the blessings he has and also has faith for a better day, he/she will definitely have inner peace because to him, when there's life, there's hope. People lack inner peace due to worries and loss of hope about unachieved success and when the success comes it gives them momentary joy.

Lessons

1. Life may not be as easy as you think. Don't give up, keep believing. That hope gives inner peace.

2. Be thankful for what you have and know that it can only get better in the course of time.

3. Avoid being attached to physical achievements. Life is not all about money or achievements, peace of mind starts with contentment.

4. Surround yourself with people who know the value of true happiness and inner peace is a practical way to be happy within.

5. Try to find peace within you by avoiding worries. Too many worries steal your peace of mind.
