“The emperor Marcus Aurelius stated ‘Men seek retreats for themselves: houses in the country, seashores and mountains; and thou too art wont to desire such things very much.’ We seek shelters. We seek havens. We seek comfort, rest and renewal. And we should.

Aurelius continued: ‘But this is altogether a mark of the most common sort of men, for it is in thy power whenever thou shalt choose to retire into thyself. For nowhere, either with more quiet or more freedom from trouble, does a man retire than into his own soul, particularly when he has within him such thoughts that by looking into them he is immediately in perfect tranquility; and I affirm that tranquility is nothing else than the good ordering of the mind. Constantly then give to thyself this retreat, and renew thyself.’

His point. Create or find that space already within you and daily return there to replenish your mind, body, emotions and spirit. Go within. The more often you do, even if for only a few moments at a time during your day, the better you’ll think, feel and perform.

Go Within Daily – Find Your Inner Strength, Peace And Joy

Within us, behind the mind and the waves of thought, is a quiet space of resourcefulness. Within you, when you go beyond the mind and beyond outer circumstances, you will find your real self. Your authentic self. The you, you were, before all the conditioning.

Imagine spending time in quiet let go, rest and renewal. Men have man caves and dens. Women do too.  Make your inner space one of your own design in your imagination. Make it beautiful and wonderful. Then go to it often for as much time as you can. Sit quietly and enjoy. Do nothing. Simply be. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
