Signs and Symptoms of Inner Peace

The Pastor at the Cathedral shared this article-an original thought i think  in the Sunday Bulletin, which I didn't pay too much attention to until a friend pointed it to me. I am sharing it here for everybody to enjoy.

Be on the alert for symptoms of inner peace. The hearts of a great many have already been exposed to inner peace and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious thread to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world.

 Some signs and symptoms of inner peace:

• A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on great experiences.


• An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.


• A loss of interest in judging other people.


• A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.


• A loss of interest in conflict.


• A loss of the ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom.)


• Frequent overwhelming episodes of appreciation.


• Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.


• Frequent attacks of smiling.


• An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen.


• An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.
