Various quotes about being at Peace.
“As we examine our life we find there are many activities which do not provide any nourishment to our growth. All growth requires the shedding of the old to experience the new. We too must discard old ideas and thought patterns in order to experience new ways of interpreting our world. In this process we clear the way for new experiences and beliefs. All throughout nature there are various examples of this from the skin cells we shed every minute to the molting of a snake’s outer skin to the complete transformation of caterpillar into a butterfly. What if our entire physical life experience was this same type of molting process, whereby we come into this realm of physical existence to grow and eventually shed our body? To experience a lifetime of growth requires that we continually shed old ideas, old beliefs, old habits and old thought processes in order to experience the new.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“It is surely easier and safer to never take risk in life and therefore avoid the abyss. The irony is in doing so we create the ultimate abyss in which we spend our lives. Any species which does not experiment, take risk, adapt and grow, ultimately grows stagnant or extinct. All of nature seeks expression of this life force. It is evident in life all around us as it has taken up domain in every place on earth; it has exploited every possible niche it can find. This is the spirit of life. Life is driven to exploit every conceivable strength. In the human species, it is the mind and our consciousness which allows us to connect to the greater consciousness that exist.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

When we make the decision to be happy, we no longer allow any external factor to decide our own happiness. We can never control the behavior of others and so if we wish to maintain our own happiness, we have three choices in every relationship: love unconditionally; have compassion for them; or expel them from our life." ~ Chris W Metz

The only way to become something is to be something; there is no other way to possess it other than within yourself." ~ Chris W Metz

“It is not difficult to see when we concentrate on the bad in our lives we tend to nothing but weeds. This eventually chokes out everything else. To see the beauty in life we must spread seeds of love, compassion, friendship and helpfulness always cultivating and nurturing their growth. nurturing these seeds they become the flowers in our life kept healthy by good memories and a focus on all that is good in our life. Those who continuously cultivate the bad memories of their life by reliving them, talking about them and sharing them often with others, are tending to their weeds.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“When we are content with all we presently have, we possess the basis for experiencing true happiness. Many get caught up in the trap of always needing more, the ‘if only I had X’ then I would be happy syndrome. If only I had more money, a better job, a better spouse, a nicer car, etc.. We can never be truly happy unless we celebrate and relish what we already have on a daily basis. Happiness and contentment comes from within and can never be found outside ourselves. Those that possess genuine happiness remain in such a state regardless of their current circumstances or the ebb and flow of material possessions. Joy is a state of consciousness arrived at when we are thankful for what we already have.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“Gratitude comes from love, joy and happiness, these are not physical things, they represent ideas or thoughts, and unlike a material item which is decreased by giving it away, thoughts and ideas are increased by extension or sharing. The person receiving the idea experiences more by receiving it and the idea itself is reinforced within the giver thereby increasing it as we give it away. Happiness and love like many things can be shared and given away and will forever increase upon itself.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“We fail to comprehend the effect we have on other people by being happy. Being in the presence of happy people our own happiness tends to increase. The opposite is true for being around unhappy, ungrateful people, as they tend to bring us down. If we are truly happy and do not let other people effect our decision for happiness, then we become the positive force.

“If we examine the differences between the pessimist and the optimist, we find the pessimist looks upon misfortune as usual and customary.

Even the optimist will experience circumstances inducing negativity, however by focusing on the positive aspects of life, negative feelings will be fleeting.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“In many ways we all go through life crossing one obstacle after another only to have brief moments of joy for having overcome the obstacle. These moments pass and then we find ourselves once again absorbed with the mundane repetitions of life and the associated obstacles. Void of any real obstacles we try to manufacture the feeling of joy through the satisfaction of the body or the acquisition of material goods. For some this becomes an insatiable preoccupation that has no end. At this point we have detoured off the path and experience life as an endless circle of recycled experiences.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

Try not to confuse “attachment” with “love.” Attachment is about fear and dependency, and has more to do with love of self than love of another.

“It is almost as if we are all playing a big game of hide-and-go-seek. We all hide expecting to be found, but no one has been labelled the seeker. We stand behind the wall, at first excited, then worried, then bored, then anxious, then angry. We hide and hide. After a while, the game is not fun anymore. Where is my seeker? Where is the person who is supposed to come find me here in my protected shell and cut me open? Where is that one who will make me trust him, make me comfortable, make me feel whole? Some people rot on the spot, waiting for the seeker that never comes. The most important truth that I can relate to you, if you are hiding and waiting, is that the seeker is you and the world, behind so many walls, waits.” ~ Vironika Tugaleva, The Love Mindset

“We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.
Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them – we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.
Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal, and the withholding of affection damage the roots from which love grows. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed and rare.” Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are
