Peace

Let us love the world to peace.

Peace

We strive so much to find peace and yet it escapes us daily! We all yearn to be at peace, to feel totally content and serene and yet it seems that something happens each day that gets us off course. Well maybe we keep looking for peace in the wrong places. See, peace is something that you can only truly find in one place, within. When you look for it in any other place, you will inevitably find the opposite. We think that if our lives are in order, our errands are all done, we are all caught up at work, we can then be at peace. It's time to flip that notion on it's head. First we need to find peace inside of ourselves and then we will find that every situation we find ourselves in, we are looking at it through a quiet mind instead of in a fury of emotions. How do you find your peace within? Well, it takes some time. You need to give yourself permission to let go, to stop trying to control everything. You need to be able to let yourself off the hook and other's too. You need to start to see life and yourself as one unit, all working towards the same goal. When you can feel yourself connected to everyone and everything without judgement, then you can find true peace. Surrender to life and finally let your soul, mind and body be at peace!
