Have you ever wished that you could just run away from it all? Ever fantasized about heading to a far off island, in some distant sea? Maybe about a cabin hideaway on the top of a remote mountain? A place to escape the pressures of everyday life? I suppose most of us have felt this way from time to time. It seems that we’re always in the throes of conflicting impulses.

We Can Achieve Balance

We want, first of all, to be in the middle of activity, and then at other times, we want to retreat from it all. Perhaps because we feel we’ve lost our sense of balance?

Our ambition and urge to accomplish drives us until both our minds and bodies are in real need for rest and revitalization.

Periodically, we must have respite of some type from our turbulent, daily routine. Have you ever watched an old grandfather clock? The pendulum must swing both ways, an even distance in both directions, if it’s to perform its function. This is similar to the sort of balance we need in our own lives.

Creating Peace - No Vacation Required

We simply must make time to recharge mentally, spiritually, and physically. Even a few minutes of being truly in touch with ourselves, can help to restore our strength, our courage and our harmony. The good news is that it’s not necessary to buy an island in the Pacific or a mountain in Hawaii, in order to achieve a balanced life. I imagine life could be just as hectic on your island or on your mountain if you didn’t achieve some inner peace.

Once we start on the treadmill of daily pressures, we think that we’ve got no time for quiet or meditation, but we simply have to take time if we want to be well-adjusted, happy and successful. We’re dependent and one – with a Higher Power than ourselves. With patience and practice, we can learn to keep our minds open so that we can turn from the pressures of the day to an inner calm within us. You can find the peace of your island, or the peace of your mountain within yourself.
