“We don’t realize that, somewhere within us all, there does exist a supreme¹ self who is eternally at peace.”―Elizabeth Gilbert“

或许我们自己都不曾察觉，我们内心一直有个恒定平和的自我。” —— 伊丽莎白·吉尔伯特

Inner peace does not depend on external conditions; it’s what remains² when you’ve surrendered your ego³ and your worries. Peace can happen within you at any place and at any time. It’s always there, patiently waiting for you to turn your attention toward it.

内心平和与外界无关，只要你放下自我和忧虑即可。平和可以随时随地降临，它一直守候在那里，耐心等你回归。

Peace of mind arrives the moment you come to peace with what’s on your mind. It happens when you let go of the need to be anywhere but where you are, physically⁴ and emotionally. This acceptance of the way things are creates the foundation for inner harmony. The need for something to be different in this moment is nothing more than a worry, and worries simply lead you in circles. Acceptance will bring you back to your peaceful, productive center.

只要与自己和睦相处，对目前的一切感到身心满足，平和的心绪就会降临。坦然包容一切，让内心充满祥和。若心有欲望，只能徒增烦恼，继而恶性循环。包容使人平静，使人积极。

Remember, the same part of you that longs for peace is the part of you that experiences peace. It is not complicated to achieve and is as close as your next thought.

渴望平和即体验平和，只要你想，它就在下一秒。
