Pass the Peace, Please
I have a question for you. Don’t worry, there won’t be a test, it’s a simple question. What is it that you want MOST out of life? Don’t think for more than a few seconds on this, or you will begin to edit your answer. Your answer is for you, not me, not anyone else. Maybe it’s more money, maybe it’s a nurturing relationship, a new house, or a job that will pay the bills.
I am going to go out on a limb and disagree with you on all of those. Not that I know who you are or anything, and you actually may think that you want these things, but they aren’t what you want the MOST. Not even close. How can I say that with such conviction? Easy. It’s Peace.
We all really want peace in our lives. Here’s the catch: We think that things like money, relationships, a better job (whatever that means), we think these things will bring us peace. And maybe, to a certain degree they will. But a sense of real, lasting, inner peace is what we all really are after. A kind of peace that nothing and no one can ever take away or destroy. A comforting existence for sure. Think about it, if you are really at peace, then you probably have the rest of your life in order, or at the least there is nothing that is really bothering you about it; in other words there isn’t anything getting in between you and your peace. I like that. I’ll take more peace, please.
Create peace in your life, in your world. Good things will follow.

So true..All too often I find myself getting caught up in what I think I want or should have more of in my life when in reality, when you get right down to it, a feeling of inner peace and well being really is what we’re all ultimately searching for. Thanks for providing a little perspective today.
