What do the bible, the philosophy of yoga, the philosophy of all of the martial arts, the latest thinking on how to reduce illness and disease in this country, and the fundamentals of high performance in athletics all have in common? All are premised on the overriding importance of "peace" to our mind and body.
Peace is the natural state. As human beings we often undermine the natural state of peace by letting our ego's careen out of control. For left to its own, the ego creates a powerful force of our being eager to prove we are right - an action that time and time again creates stress and conflict. Chief among the destructors of peace is our ego and its need to be right. Let go of the need to always be right. As Dr. Wayne Dyer is fond of saying "when the choice is to be right, or to be at peace, always choose peace."
