This post is from a Christian perspective and my own personal experience.
I was drowning in sorry guilt confusion .Did not know where or what to do .
I woke up one day asking myself WHO AM I .
Have you ever done that ask yourself that question try it and see what it does .
I heard my inner voice say you are LOVE.
I thought wow am I it made me feel wanted to be appreciated and very much loved.
Then I realised that voice was Jesus speaking to me.
Inner peace derives within us all the ability to let go of the world and going on a journey of self-discovery . Not the world but following what makes our souls happy.
destroy your inner peace by constantly beating yourself up.Your mind becomes use to this behaviour and adjusts accordingly.
