The myth of needing perfect conditions for peace
READ ON SUBSTACK
What does true peace look like?
Is it a secluded beach at sunset? A mountaintop retreat? The moment after you achieve a long-sought goal?
A photography contest once asked this same question—and the winning answer stunned everyone.
It wasn’t the most beautiful image. It wasn’t the most dramatic. But when the judges saw it, they immediately knew: This is it. This is real peace.
What did they see that moved them so deeply?
And more importantly – how can you access that same unshakeable calm, no matter your circumstances?
I explore this in my new video, “The Essence of Peace: A Journey Beyond Fear and Attachment.” It’s not what you might expect.
You’ll discover:
- The hidden trap in how we chase peace (and why it keeps slipping away)
- The 2-word mental shift that dissolves worry instantly
- What predators, bouncing cups, and your deepest fears all have in common
- Why “preparing for the worst” is actually the key to fearless living
This isn’t theory. It’s a revelation hiding in plain sight—in a poor village, in life-threatening crises in my life, and in the quiet space between your thoughts.
Peace isn’t something you find. It’s something you stop losing.
Watch here:
“The battle was never with the world. It was always in the mind—and the mind was never really you.”
P.S. The most extraordinary truths often wear the disguise of ordinary moments. This one might catch you by surprise.
