Peace

A word used quite often. Though anyone screaming it probably doesn’t really understand its true meaning or significance.

Peace is calm, tranquil, and understanding. There are no games. If two countries or people want this in their relationship, and both work towards that as their ultimate common goal, then it will happen.

You can’t have only one party openly and actively committed to peace and still achieve it. The other side has to participate, with peace as its highest priority, or it is nearly impossible to achieve. Otherwise, the committed party will always be a bit hesitant and wonder if the other party will keep the peace, and that is not peace for the committed party.

The war zone can be quiet, and peace can reign, when both parties come to the table with only peace as its top priority.

Find Peace

Think about what would bring you peace, for a moment or forever even. Have you considered what that would be? Really put some hard thinking time into this topic for a few days or weeks.

Consider lots of options. You may be surprised at what you learn about yourself!

Smile At The Peace

You know that moment you’re sitting there and nothing is really happening? That’s the moment. Just smile and enjoy that moment.

You’re alive. That’s what it’s all about.

You might not realise how amazing that moment is, but let me tell you. You were born. That stat in itself is amazing. You haven’t died yet. That is quite impressive! (More impressive if you have and you were still able to read that line).

You’re not at war or being gunned down. Your home is not up in flames. I could list all the things not happening in your moment. But the point is, smile at how ridiculously fortunate you are at this moment. Unbelievable.

Always Make Peace Before Bed

Don’t go to bed angry. It will eat at you. You’re likely to get a bad night’s sleep. And what if by some weird quirk you never wake up? The other person’s last memory of you will be of an angry person. That might suit your angry feelings in this moment, but is it really how you want anyone to remember you?

As hard as it may be to swallow your pride, apologise and say a few kind words, it’s usually the better thing to do. It takes a lot of character and strength to be the first to start healing the wounds.

Life is short, so holding onto anger and resentment is not a great strategy. You’ll miss the joy and peace that could be yours. You could also help others find those faster.

Always make peace before bed. Your soul will thank you.
