Scott Abel Life Coaching: Finding the Center of Peace of Mind

It’s funny but I witness more phoniness on-line in the name of “authenticity” than I do in the name of expertise. So many people can seem to talk the talk of authenticity – but their real, non-digital lives reflect a life that is anything BUT authentic. So many people I know represent themselves one way in the digital world – but lead their lives another way in their real-world. And then there are those who love to put fancy quotes beside or underneath their names, to sound either deep, or intelligent. But if you don’t walk the words you write, then it won’t matter much how impressed anyone else may be with your ‘borrowed’ quotes.

I wake up every morning and pray that peace of mind, contentment, and joy will be my path all the rest of my life. I don’t pray to “find them” because I already know and live them. They are my path. I don’t pray to hold on to them, because I don’t need to covet anything that is part of my consciousness. I just pray to remind myself that these things are the steps of my current consciousness. And I live them out daily regardless of circumstance. But what is peace of mind? I know so many people who can quote other people’s versions of it. But they do not know it in their own hearts. Well, I can comment on what peace of mind is to me – from the perspective of someone who lives in it and with it – and has for a long time now. And let me be clear here. What you “know” is of little importance. What you do with what you know – how you live “in” what you know – that makes ALL the difference.
