Inner peace is not reserved only to yogis, hermits or monks, sitting alone in a far off place, praying or meditating all day long. It can also be attained by people living an ordinary life, who have a job, married and with children.

Inner peace is a state of being emotionally and mentally at peace and strong in the face of discord or stress. It is the opposite of being stressed or anxious.

True inner peace, confers tranquility, inner harmony and inner balance, and is an inner condition, which is independent of external conditions and circumstances. It can be acquired through proper training, resulting in the ability to remain calm, undisturbed and unhurried in difficult and unpleasant situations.

When there is inner peace there are no anxieties and fears, no negative thoughts or negative expectations, no stress and no lack of satisfaction and happiness. It is a state of emotional and mental poise, happiness, confidence and inner strength.

Though almost everyone desires inner peace, albeit unconsciously, few realize its importance and benefits, and very few realize that it is a skill that can be learned and developed. You can stay where you are, without making external changes in your life, and yet attain inner peace. Some might go faster and others might progress at a slower pace. Some might reach high and others not so high, but any amount of inner peace and tranquility gained is a great achievement that can transform one's life.

There are many reasons why you need to gain at least some measure of inner peace. Here are 20 reasons to consider:

1. Inner peace improves your ability to concentrate.

2. It improves the ability to handle efficiently the daily affairs of life.

3. It increases your inner strength and power.

4. Inner peace eliminates impatience, anger, nervousness and restlessness.

5. Inner peace develops patience, tolerance and tact.

6. It makes you feel centered, grounded, and stable.

7. Being mentally and emotionally calm contributes to improved sleep.

8. You gain the ability to be emotionally and mentally unaffected by what people think or say about you.

9. It eliminates stress, anxieties and worries.

10. Inner peace brings inner happiness and bliss.

11. It increases self mastery and self discipline.

12. It relaxes the body and nerves.

13. The healing energies of the body work unhindered.

14. Being peaceful enables you not to be swayed by events, hardships and difficulties, and to maintain inner poise, clear judgement and common sense in such situations.

15. Inner peace eliminates negative, futile and restless thinking.

16. It improves your relationships with other people.

17. It makes life look brighter.

18. It increases creativity.

19. It makes it easier to meditate.

20. It is the gateway to enlightenment and spiritual awakening.

True inner peace is important not only while things move smoothly, but especially in times of trouble, difficulties or danger. Then it counts most.

Inner peace ultimately brings peace into your life, your affairs and your relationships, and to the world around you.

Remez Sasson teaches and writes on positive thinking, creative visualization, motivation, self-improvement, peace of mind, spiritual growth and meditation. He is the author of several books, among which are "peace of mind in Daily Life", "Will power and Self Discipline", "Visualize and Achieve" and "Affirmations - Words of power".

There are various ways to attain inner peace, such as psychological means, affirmations, visualization, yoga and meditation. A full program on this subject, which is written in a manner and language everyone can understand and follow, with instructions, advice and exercises, can be found in my book

staying on or off site

So you decided to visit Walt Disney world this year? Now the fun begins as you plan everything you wish to see and do. As you plan all the details of your trip, you will first need to decide where you would like to stay in Orlando. If you research all the available hotels in the Orlando area you will overwhelmed with the number of choices you will have.

With thousands of hotel rooms in the area, from on-site Disney hotels to off-site large and small hotel chains, you really have quite a few decisions to make before you choose one. In order to determine what will work best for you, you should consider both your budget and the needs of your traveling party.

The number of people in your party and their ages and needs should guide you to where you should stay when visiting Walt disney world. Usually, large parties benefit from suite type hotels or even renting a home during the stay, as most hotel rooms are geared for a total of 4 persons (2 adults and 2 children). Travelers with small children like to stay close to the theme parks and enjoy the ability to commute back and forth from the parks to the hotel with ease. The ages of your travelers should also be considered, as some of the family-budget type hotels may not be enjoyed by seniors or honeymooners.

disney on site hotels do offer several choices in the area of pricing and features. staying on site at disney does include a few benefits that you cannot get off site. They include extra park hours, which allow hotel guests to visit parks one hour before their scheduled opening times and up to three hours after closing times. This feature applies to one park per day and rotates each day of the week. On site hotels also offer Disneys Magical Express service, which provides transportation to and from the Orlando airport, including the ability to bypass baggage claim, as disney picks up your luggage for you.

staying on site also include guaranteed park admissions, even when the parks are filled to capacity. This only helps when traveling during real peak times of year.

Off site hotels are plentiful in the Orlando area. Some hotels are within one mile from Disney property and are very convenient to the parks. Usually an off site hotel will offer more for the money, compared to a disney value or moderate type hotel. All of the major chain hotels (Embassy Suites, Holiday Inn, and Sheraton) can be found in the Orlando area. When booking a room outside of disney, it makes sense to get referrals from family or friends who have stayed in those hotels. Otherwise, stick to a major hotel chain and check out the hotel online for reviews.

Deciding where to stay during your vacation is an important decision to make. If you want the complete disney experience, or feel you need the ability to travel back and forth to the theme parks in the easiest manner you may want to choose an on site hotel. If you are planning to rent a car, are going to travel to other parks (Sea world, Universal), or are on a budget and want the best value for your dollars, look into an off site hotel deal.

Wherever you decide to stay you can be assured that Orlando offers great entertainment for travelers and continue to rank as a top travel destination.
