"Here is a good reason why many "older" people tend to drive
a little slower than others, and it would serve one well to
understand it. They've discovered the timeless secret of life:
There is no place you can "go" that can change who
you are, so why be in a rush to get there?
Deliberately dare to slow down your life when everything in
you or around you, is screaming "Rush."
Every person knows what it feels like to be carried off by an
anxious state so you decide: when some anxiety comes along
and takes over your life , are you an awake inwardly centered
person,or are you an unconscious outwardly driven person?
Which are you?
That you're outwardly directed is pretty obvious. Why?Because
that anxious state could not exist without your false belief that who
you are , your well-being, is connected to something happening
exterior to yourself.
And now this mistaken idea is driving you, compelling you to get
this thing fixed or that situation resolved right now,because once
you have, you'll be back in a peaceful place.
As long as you take yourself as someone who has something to
lose because of your identification with any temporary exterior
condition or circumstance, you will remain someone subject to
every outer condition.
Serenity is an inside job!
By deliberately slowing yourself down when everything in you
seems to be screaming "Rush," you will become inwardly awake.
You'll become conscious of yourself in a new way. For the first
time you'll understand that these anxiety attacks have nothing to
do with what didn't get done, or with what "might happen," but
that their painful place dwells within a belief-packed self you are
living from that has convinced you that if you don't answer the
situation it says has caused your anxiety, you'll end up losing
something valuable. This new kind of prayer-in-action changes
your perception of yourself by turning your attention around to
where the real problem, and the real solution,exists , within you.
This simple but powerful prayer will help you make the transforming
transition to find your life inside of you instead of forever looking
for a way to fix it by struggling outside of you."

The Power to Know Natural Peace
by Guy Finley
Video summary: In this video, Guy Finley talks about how we have
become so accustomed to being caught up in the turmoil of anxious
thoughts and feelings that the state of real peace seems unnatural
to us.
Guy Finley explains that even though we're so used to being
in a state of agitation, manifesting as anxiety, rushing,
discontent, our natural, spiritual state is one of being
at peace.
