Life is simpler than we think and at the same time it’s very easy to complicate it. We live thinking that our way of thinking is the true and the only way and then we allow ourselves to try and control the lives of others with our arguments. Why do we always want to be right to be in peace? Or is it that we just want to be in control?
Peace is a feeling that means to be at peace with yourself, without trying to be right in everything you do or say, when we believe we are right in everything that comes up what we try to do is to change the ideas of others so that they act the same way we do. This is the only way we can agree with them.
To have peace within ourselves is to live at ease with who we are, with what we have and we do not need to change others and their ways of being so that we can feel a fullness in life.
To acquire this feeling of well-being costs something or a lot. It’s to get rid of manipulations, blames, blackmails, mistreatments and offensive words and trying to get rid of a whole life with habits that take away our peace of mind is a very hard thing to do, but not impossible. The most difficult thing is to recognize in ourselves that we are not happy that we don’t have inner peace and after recognizing it to work on love.
Love is a feeling of freedom, it’s not enslaving. If we feel love towards someone we cannot maintain a position of control over that person. We have to allow that person to express himself in the best way his own personality tells him to... Of course we can give an opinion about the way we think, about the way we would like to do things but always keeping the level of respect towards the other person's attitude and his own way of expressing his life.
Trying to maintain a pressuring effect on her and wanting to modify her actions is not ideal. Love is free, it is wonderful to love but the confusion in love is the aberrant feeling of possession, that someone is totally yours because you love him or her and with that fact, if she or he loves you want to control of his or her life. That’s when you completely lose your peace because you can’t completely make the other's actions imitate your own.
Peace is a feeling that leads you to be very controlled over your environment. To let and allow things and events to flow, as long as those events do not manage to intervene in your life to try to change the rhythm you have.
It’s important to not confuse the peace we may feel with indifference to others or to what surrounds us. To have peace is to know that the events that are not favorable to us can be dealt with in the best way to get out of them. That we must seek a solution to a conflict; that we have to find a balance between the bad that happens and the good that we need.
When we feel that we control our peace we know that we are aware of the problems, of the needs of the world around us, of our own personal problems and this does not mean that we should enter into disorder to cope with the situation. In the meantime, let us not allow this to put us mentally in a constant struggle to try to solve the adverse circumstances.
We try to solve, we try to cope, we try to help and empathize with others. We try to live life as best we can without tormenting ourselves because we don’t solve the adverse situations we face. Simply because the solution is not within our reach but it’s in the hands of the factor of time, the possibility of seeing the positive results to continue life.
We even think of solving other people's conflictive situations but without this being detrimental to our own emotional stability.
The difference is that we don’t allow ourselves to enter into internal conflict with our self because that would simply take away our peace.
When we feel that we are losing the balance of life we think about how we should return to our center. We do this in many ways, in our solitude we manage to communicate with our inner self. Believer’s pray, meditating in the solitude of our thoughts, doing body relaxation with meditation if you do yoga or any other spiritual healing exercise.
Being alone does not mean that we are bad as individuals. In our solitude we find great, beautiful and functional thoughts for life. In our solitude we meet God. In our solitude we ask ourselves questions and answer ourselves and we achieve the longed-for inner peace.
By finding the best way to lead our lives with peace, love, patience and prudence we help ourselves to lead a life full of mental health.
Seek your inner peace and do not allow any external factor to take it away from you. If you manage to destabilize yourself, you know how to find yourself again. Because we are human and sometimes we don’t control ourselves in front of our own defects. But it’s up to you and no one else to find your own balance.
May peace be with you…
Inner peace is really important. I can't even function properly without having peace of mind. Good thing, I can easily find my inner peace thru praise and worship songs, prayer and shower. It calms me. But to all those who are struggling, I hope that you will be able to find your inner peace.
