True peace comes from within from "summary" of The Anatomy of Peace, Fourth Edition by The Arbinger Institute

When we talk about peace, what do we really mean? Is it just the absence of conflict, or is there something more to it? The truth is, peace is not just an external state of affairs. It is something that begins within each one of us. True peace is not dependent on what is happening around us. It is a state of being that comes from within. It is about how we see the world and how we choose to respond to it. When we are at peace with ourselves, we are able to see others in a different light. We are able to treat them with compassion and understanding, rather than judgment and hostility. When we are able to find peace within ourselves, we are better equipped to handle the challenges that life throws at us. We are able to approach conflicts with a sense of calm and clarity, rather than reacting out of fear or anger. We are able to see beyond our own self-interest and work towards solutions that benefit everyone involved. Finding true peace within ourselves requires us to be honest with ourselves. It requires us to take a good look at our own thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors, and to make changes where necessary. It requires us to let go of the need to be right, and to instead focus on building connections with others. True peace is not about pretending that everything is fine when it is not. It is about acknowledging our own part in conflicts and taking responsibility for our actions. It is about being willing to listen to others and to see things from their perspective. It is about working towards reconciliation and understanding, rather than perpetuating a cycle of blame and resentment. In the end, true peace is not something that can be imposed from the outside. It is something that must come from within each one of us. It is a choice that we make every day, in how we relate to ourselves and to others. And when we are able to find that peace within ourselves, we are able to create a more peaceful world for everyone.
