How to Balance Maintaining Inner Peace with Striving for Success

“Spontaneous creativity arises from being fully conscious and living connected to the source, the inner refuge.” -Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

You’ve heard time and time again, and I’ll tell you one more time: life is all about BALANCE (in my humble opinion).

See how I just confidently said my piece, then wrapped it up nice and pretty with a bow of modesty? Balance.

Too much of anything is bad, and I firmly believe that.

It’s the most consistent and repetitive life lesson I’ve received. Balance. Is. Important.

There is no difference when it comes to both success and inner peace, two of the most essential core values in the lives of many.

Pretty much everyone wants to be successful, and I would venture to bet that everyone wants to feel at peace with themselves and with life.

But the question arises, “How can I feel at peace and reach for success at the same time?”

It’s a tough one. Success typically is bestowed upon those who experience that incessant inner void. That intense drive, that feeling that they have a greater purpose to fulfill.

That doesn’t sound like someone with inner peace, does it?
