What comes to mind when I ask you what 'peace' means to you?
World peace. . .Inner peace. . .Peace on earth. . .Give peace a chance. All of the above?
When I ponder peace these days and what it means to me, I suppose I'm thinking along the lines of 'inner peace'.
I am happy.
I am calm.
I am content.
I am peaceful.
My experiences--my powerful life experiences--have changed me. I have a perspective about my life that I didn't have as recently as a year ago as I grieved the loss of my sister.
That 'perspective'?
- Don't sweat the small stuff.
- Savor the moments.
- Pick your battles.
- You can't change the past.
- Avoid negativity.
- Focus on the positive.
It has become quite simple, really. As a result, I found my happy place in this life. I hope you can, too, because Peace is always beautiful (~Walt Whitman). And peace, for me, means happiness.
