10 Things That Disturb Inner Peace
Let's do some backward thinking today. In order to achieve inner peace, we might want to explore what actually stands in the way of achieving it, so we can eliminate these things and reach a state of tranquility.

The Japanese have an ideology: Life is not for the pursuit of perfection; but for the joy of exploring refinement.
Food for though.. thanks for sharing!
tell women tht they expect us men to b perfect which isn't a bad thing but it drives most men crazy in long term relationships...

Thank you guys for all the kind comments. I want to let you know I'm doing great and no longer have those feelings. Editing this to not worry anyone and put that in the past. God bless you beautiful souls.
Hang in there my friend 😊
I too it seems to be in the air.
Life has no meaning,God does not exist ; but still committing suicide will not do anything for the society . You can transmute your suffering into help for others ,and trust me when I say there are a lot of people in really harsh position right now ...
Thank you for comment. Hang in there, man.. I've had them too, and I promise that there's light at the end of the tunnel. Often, you'll realize that when you're actually seeing that light again, so all you can do is take that leap of faith and do what you know is right for you. I'd say... be kind to yourself, take a walk outside, call someone. All the best! Btw: excellent replies here.
No matter how bad the situation is, it too shall pass. Keep moving on, dont stop, lift urself up, take help from friends and family . Its you and only you who can push urself to the other end of the tunnel . Keep walking on, keep breathing . May the cosmos gives u energy to fight the obstacles .
1. Need for Validation 2. Ruminating on the Past 3.Worry about the Future 4. Need for Perfection 5. The need for control over other people 6. Fear of ageing or death 7. Fear of the unknown 8. The need to defend oneself 9. Greed 10. Aversion My thoughts: - Perfection does exist - anyone listening to Bach, Wagner, or Bruckner knows what I mean.
Every great athlete or musician feels they could have done much better after the game, concert
Perfection is a waste of time coz it doesnt exit. Yr reference to perfection is yr perception but in reality its just a variation frm the former.
Tks
Number 2.
@gerhard what does it even mean? Bach wagner and bruckner thing? Do they have like youtube account
Dont let these 3 things control you: People Money Past
If only it was as easy as that AG! Blessings and peace
Some more things: -Bad experiences -Negative self-talk
@@andjelkovicjasmin2954 Very wise AJ but it is easy to say that and hard to do sonetimes isn't it? I hope you are in control of your life and are happy. Blessings and peace
Past can be time cuz future can be a thing as well
How very true! Well said!
*We live in an era where there are so many distractions around us. You really need to FIND WAYS to be in a focused state or a state of tranquility* 🙏

Hey, the audio from your videos u should make that into Spotify podcasts. U have more than enough quality. I would totally listen to that.
Thanks for the tip! Very well worth considering..!
@ I would really enjoy that too. I could listen when I travel or am at college.
I agree
Agreed
Agree. ❣👍🏻😊
I love the simplicity of your videos - no cheesy music, no obnoxious voice! The content is good too 👏☺️😎👉🇦🇺
"My goodness, don’t you remember? When you went first to school. You went to Kindergarten...and Kindergarten, the idea was to push along so that you could get to first grade...and then push along so that you could get to second grade, third grade, and so on going up and up. Then you went to high school and this was a great transition in life. And all that pressure is being put on, you must get ahead! You must go up the grades and finally be good enough to get to college...and then when you get to college, you’re still going step by step, step by step up to the great moment in which you are ready to go out into the world...and then when you get out into this famous world, comes...the struggle for success and profession of business......and then suddenly, when you’re about forty or forty-five years old in the middle of life, you wake up one day, and say, Huh?? I’ve arrived...and while it is of tremendous use for us to be able to look ahead and to plan, there is no use planning for a future, which when you get to it and it becomes the present, you won’t be there. You will be living in some other future which hasn’t yet arrived...and so in this way, one is never able actually to inherit and enjoy the fruits of one’s actions. You can’t live at all, unless you can live fully now." -Alan Watts
Dont let anyone destroy your inner peace
The past is always haunting me because I made big mistakes like wasting time with fake friends
that's a story you are telling yourself that "past is always hunting me".
You made. Past tense. Once you're not currently making then you have no worries. Be proud of your growth.
You're a smarter person now because of the mistakes you made in the past. We learn and grow from our mistakes. We all are learning and growing.
i love these replies
"Losing the past without losing the lesson." I need to put this in big fucking writing and wake up to it every day. I can't let go but know I need to.
Thanks for my Sunday meditation. Once again I am brought back to base. I accept my fate with the realization that I control less and less. Perhaps, in the end I only control my attitude.
That's great to here, Steve!! Happy Sunday night (or afternoon, if you're in the States)
Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes improvement!

Grieving a breakup currently. I think I’ll watch this video everyday for a month.
U can do it !!!!!!!
Hi Greg, i too am grieving a breakup. I just want to let you know that you're not alone.
Break the soul tie and you will heal faster.
Are you feeling better?
It's going to be okay brother. Maybe not now, nor tomorrow heck maybe not even a year. But it will
1) relationships
Hahahahaha...
Its not the relationships that destroy our inner peace. Its our expectations that destroy our inner peace.
@@TareekhDaan it may have been a joke. 😐
😂😂😂
You give me so much peace dude, thank you.
Dont have a source anymore but in a vid i once saw they studied an amount of negative thoughts ppl had. Only 8% of those (worrying) negative thoughts actually turned out to be negative. Im often too positive maybe even naive so it may not be a surprise in my case the majority actually turned out to be negative. Thats why lately i indeed try to just live in the moment and not think at all abt the future and when i think abt it just have a realistic view like "we'll see what happens".
it's a pleasure to hear your voice again :)
Thank you. I can definitely see how these things on the list can affect inner peace and am currently working on some of those things now. I can honestly say that I no longer feel the need to be validated by others especially by certain relatives after all that happened and I have found it to be somewhat freeing. I now focus on being true to myself and on what I know and what I don't know about myself and others and other things.
Thanks you for your insight brother. Greatness to you and greatness to all
Wish i knew these things decades ago !
Its not in your control why bother. "facepalm" 😅
I have been watching your videos and loving them while I am alone. I subscribed after the third video. Keep them going.
As always, great and inspiring video!!! Thank you!
I wish you were my therapist. Love listening to you ! So comforting.
Ive always been a pretty solid philosophical thinker I believe, but Ive never been a strong student. I have struggled with depression for upwards of 10 years. It was effecting relationships with family and friends. Got to a pretty dark place about a month ago. Led to me not realizing that an ex was also mentally suffering. She almost killed herself, and I was not aware enough to see it. Just wanted to say thanks for helping teach me to be a good student. So many questions I have had, and though there are never tangible answers, you have help me really dive deeper than I ever have. Im already noticing a change in my relationships. These videos are truly incredible.
This is a great video. My son and I struggle with inner peace but he's only little. I at least can watch these videos and try to reset my mind everyday. He constantly argues with everything that is said to him, gets upset and offended by little things and feels like he is always being picked on. I feel sorry for the little guy as most of it is in his head and alot of his concerns are self inflicted too. It would be great if there was a video like this reworded for kids.
He said it all so well. I need my brain to accept these things as fact
Your channel is helping me so much specially in this covid situation. Thank you. Best channel so far I have come across in KZhead.❤❤
1. Ego 2. Guilt and regret 3. Fear of the unknown 4. Ego 5. Ego 6. Fear of the unknown 7. Fear of the unknow 😂 8. Ego 9. Ego 10. Ego Ego for me go hand in hand with lack of self love. Yw
I think 6 also translates to Vanity
I like the philosophical predispositions and explanations to these point of views.
Life changing video! Awesome job dude! You're a godsend! Keep it up!
Thank you for sharing I need to be reminded of the learning process Often Again Thank you for sharing
The information you present and they way you do it inspires me to TRY and look within to see the truth, it's not always pretty or what I want it to be.
this video is so helpful. I really like this channel. Thank you
Your videos are a life saver!!! 🙏💝🙏 Truly grateful.
Wish I could support you Einzel, like you support me! In my darkest moments, I search your talk! Thanks a Million!

Thank you Satori for your kind words! Very much appreciated!
Excellent
Great video! Helps to create awareness of the things that could stop us from attaining Ataraxia! 😇
Excellent!
Having neighbors disturbs my inner peace..
Neighbors are the worst but blocked them all out and refuse to engage in their mundane lives.
They just need attention. Let your energy influence them instead of you being influenced
They probably think the same about you. Accept what you can't control and make a true effort to get along not expecting anything in return, or move out if you can.
@@guillermochavez2170 they probably do, but I'm not the one that, Mingles with everything in their life. Tries to say how their garden must look. Try to tell them how often they sweep. Try to tell them when they must sweep cobwebs. Try to tell them they must change curtains. And so on and so on
@@joejoe5673 so well said. They're just npc's and @InevitableMMA
I really like when I listen to your lessons, I don't feel the time.
I never thought of aversion as disturbing peace. Ill give it some thought. Thanks
some quality choices in this video here....well done
Love it!
Thanks
Thank you!!!! So much!!!! For your wisdom of encouragement and thought. Being a Black woman in this world there is always going to be someone who's going to hate me for my skin color but they can't control the love and happiness in my life. Having Inner Peace is the best part of life.
SANDY MILLER Sorry Darlin, being Black does not make that problem any worse for you than it does anybody else, Believe me, White, Asian, and Middle Easerns have it as bad or worse than you,that old race card is obsolete
Can you do a video about being alone and dealing with loneliness? Thank you. I love the Vincent Van Gogh paintings in this video!
Noah Elkrief has some great self help videos on this and other subjects. Sending love and peace to you ❤x
I learn as much from the comments as I do from this video! Thank you to all of you.
facts
I had almost stopped watching videos like this however, this one was really good.
This is great! Vielen Danke
I've been having a real hard time with number 10. So many hate groups and people being proud of their hate, all out in the open now and upsets me the most. Been re evaluating so many friendships that have changed, the hate and ignorance is too much so i avoid certain people. Disturbs my peace, daily.
i love your videos very inspiring. please make more videos. thank you very much
Thanks wolf keep it up
Awesome
Impeccable knowledge, thank you, another job well done! I wonder how long you can keep up this stoic identity. 😎🙏🌟
Hello everyone, great to find this channel and read your comments which are real and positive. Thanks Einzelganger for sharing this amazing content of universal truths. Beautiful.
Mooi boek laat je zien! 😉 Ik vind je video's erg fijn om naar te kijken, ik leer er veel van. Stoïcisme heb ik altijd bijvoorbeeld erg interessant gevonden en jij maakt er erg heldere en leerzame video's over, dus bedankt daarvoor! 😊
Hoi Suze! Bedankt voor je comment! Erg tof om te horen en fijn dat je de video's leuk vindt. Het boekje kun je volgens mij gewoon in de lokale boekenwinkel of Bol.com krijgen... de 'Overpeinzingen' van Marcus Aurelius. Leest erg prettig! 👍
@ Aah top! Dankjewel :)
Great video 📹👍 Thank you:-)
Your video notification interrupted my inner piece

Je filmpjes zijn ondertussen onderdeel van het ontbijt bij ons👍👍
good stuff
Rumination and speculation are an infatuation with the imagination.... Thanks for the videos.
This is perfect....I mean, excellent!
I like your last point. There are things, like drugs, crime and toxic behavior, which we should curb, but avoiding them because we hate them is not the way. We should avoid them whilst accepting their existence in the world, and willfully choosing to avoid their bad effects on ourselves.
So damn efficient. Thank you.
Hollander ;) thanks for the video x
Thanks for number 8. I realised that I had already started defending myself and justifying my previous 'defence' actions, against your point.
Please make videos about Intuition and how we can increase it. Thanks for great videos!
I was a Doomer for the longest time in my life. When I finally got some happines and peace in my life I was surprised and didn't really understand what was different. Watching your videos has helped me form my thoughts into words and gain confidence on WHY I'm happy and in peace. I have studied buddhism before but stoicism hit really close to my thoughts right now. Also, its nice to be able to talk about these concepts with other people, really really understanding inner peace and happines is a tall task.
Awesome. I hope you keep sharing.
Embrace the doom. Nothing can be done to prevent it. Eat, drink and be merry. "...the world is coming to an end, and I don't even care; As long as I can have my limo and my orange hair..." --- "earache my eye" cheech and chong
I like this type of videos:)
1st enemy is Fear...the rest is corollary to it. The golden way could be the cure. We need just realise it. And remember that sheet happens... Always good videos!
Hi how do you do that ?
@@garethgareth8699 Good question Gareth Gareth, I can only say that one day I was just fed up with being constantly anxious, looking for acknowledgement from out side, ...and the whole social "correct way to behave" . I started slow, changing what I thought it was wrong, and reading a lot, Stoics are and had a huge impact, Five rings from Musashi, Tao te Ching and many more. But essentially I needed to see and meditate what was not working for me. What helped me a lot is the physical exercise, regular, good circle of friends even if you are an introvert, simplify your life to the minimum, and then you realise that you don't need much, which is also a common discourse in many philosophies, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, Japanese, Indian...and more... you may know and recognize that subtle changes...will do wonders... Eat differently, I went full keto/ carnivore and my life changed for the best. But you decide and test it. Take good care.
@@robgoodsight6216 wow thank you for your testimony . I us to teach meditations . Yet could not hold my own peace and ended up in trouble. Jesus was after me and still shows me the way. Try ask him into your heart. Only recently he showed me peace. It's energy. No World peace until we have our own inner peace. Don't allow anything or anyone take rob your peace. Bless you.
@@garethgareth8699 Bless you too!
@@robgoodsight6216 💚💚💚💚
A bit complicated, but great advice overall, thanks!
