“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without” — Buddha
There was a time when I thought the good life filled with peace was for other people. People who were better at life than me. I’ve come to realize quite a few things about peace since then.
First comparison isn’t the whole picture. If someone presents peace but steals yours, then no they haven’t found peace.
Peacefulness should draw peacefulness. If you can sit in peace you’re welcomed there.
Second peace is yours to claim. It’s a gift of humanity. You get choose how much peace you welcome in your life. Don’t want peace, don’t welcome it. Want it, then learn to sit with it.
And to conclude, you are and always have been worthy of peace. But in this world, it means you must train yourself to find peace. Once you find peace, you get to show those around you how they can best respect your peace. Both can be challenging.
Peace is always worth the effort.
What’s your favorite peaceful place?
