Are you searching for more serenity and tranquility in your life? Do you need to heal from a deep hurt or find more strength and confidence?

There are times when circumstances beyond our control will leave us feeling tremendously sad and spiritually depleted. Yet, we can slowly begin to change our focus. In doing so, time will begin to work its magic; it will begin to fill the emptiness brought by life's unfairness, heartache, and pain.

A spirit of serenity and tranquility resides within each of us. It is a quiet energy of confidence, power and strength where creative thoughts arise.

From this peaceful place, we can begin to focus on what we need to do. We are not consumed by self-limiting beliefs and worries that steal our energy. Instead we can access our boundless God-given capacity.

Living serenely doesn't mean that we deny problems or avoid the responsibility for solving them. Just the opposite - we find the clarity and presence of mind to deal with the issues of daily living in positive constructive ways. Instead of identifying with problems and painful situations, we approach them from a calm center where constructive ideas originate.

Ask yourself: What thoughts tend to block my awareness of serenity and tranquility?

If you could choose, what would you want God to say to you in your most serene and tranquil moments?

Spend a moment in silence today. Look beneath and between the thoughts that occupy your mind. Notice the peaceful energy of aliveness within you.

Share this spirit of serenity with others through kindness and constructive action. By sharing peace with others, you will become more and more aware of the serenity and tranquility within you.
