Build a Bigger Inner World
The most peaceful people I know aren’t the ones without contradictions.They’re the ones who made space for them.They built an interior large enough to hold everything.They made room for their creativity — and their fear.Room for their dignity — and their shame.Room for the parts that feel divine — and the parts that feel petty, jealous, insecure, and small.They didn’t exile themselves.They expanded.Inside them is an auditorium — wide, echoing, generous.Every part gets a seat.No part gets banished.Because here’s the truth:You can’t kick parts of yourself out.You can ignore them.You can suppress them.You can pretend they don’t exist.But they don’t disappear.Peace doesn’t come from perfection.Wisdom doesn’t come from self-rejection.Peace comes from integration.From saying:“I see all of me — and I’m staying.”The people who radiate calm are not empty of conflict.They’ve simply stopped fighting themselves.If this resonates, comment: “All of me belongs.”
