Embody peace and joy from "summary" of The Only Little Prayer You Need by Engle, Debra Landwehr
To truly live a life of peace and joy, we must go beyond simply thinking or talking about these qualities. We must embody them in our very being. This means that we must allow peace and joy to permeate every aspect of our existence, from our thoughts and words to our actions and interactions with others. Embodying peace and joy requires a deep level of inner transformation. It means letting go of old patterns of thinking and behaving that no longer serve us, and instead embracing a new way of being that is rooted in love and compassion. When we embody peace and joy, we are able to approach life with a sense of calm and equanimity, no matter what challenges may come our way. One way to cultivate this embodiment is through the practice of mindfulness. By staying present in each moment and fully engaging with whatever is happening, we can cultivate a sense of inner peace that is not dependent on external circumstances. In this way, we can begin to see the world through eyes of gratitude and wonder, rather than through the lens of fear and scarcity. Embodying peace and joy also involves letting go of the need to control everything and instead surrendering to the flow of life. When we release our attachment to outcomes and trust in the greater wisdom of the universe, we can experience a profound sense of peace and joy that is not contingent on achieving specific goals or milestones.- Embodying peace and joy is a practice that requires patience, persistence, and a willingness to let go of old ways of being. By cultivating these qualities within ourselves, we can create a ripple effect that touches everyone we come into contact with, spreading peace and joy throughout the world.
