The world is becoming a chaotic struggle and many of us are running the race in the fear of being left out. We have long working hours, more virtual media and minimal peace of mind.

Silence is often an underrated notion and almost an impossible thing to find in this dynamically changing day and age. We are all striving for a better life, yearning for a more peaceful and joyful existence. We’ve become so distracted by the hurrying demands of modern life, that we’ve lost touch with our natural state of being.

But there is a way to achieve peace and calm, if we genuinely wish to seek it. The distractions that we’ve declared as urgent and important, such as watching TV/Netflix, updating our Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter accounts, checking Whatsapp, prattling on the phone about various unimportant topics, etc. all pull at us. They all pull at our attention, distracting us away from the things that are truly important to us – things that will bring lasting happiness and fulfilment to our lives and the lives of others.

Nothing can hamper your peace and progress except you. You get what you allow. And today you must choose peace. You can achieve this by doing meditation, travel to places you want to visit, going and exploring hobbies and activities you always wanted to do, spread love and positivity around you. Channelling your thoughts on things that are important and progressive for you.

In addition, follow these rules below for inner cleansing:

Say what you mean. Mean what you say.
Don’t say to anyone unless you can say to everyone.
Don’t say inside, what you cannot say outside.
Don’t say unless it is true, useful or kind.

If you follow these then you will notice a beautiful inner transformation – from noise to stillness, from chaos to clarity. As Albert Einstein rightly said, “Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.”
