Words of Wisdom
Peace
June 2008
What is Peace and is it possible in our world today?? Can we find peace in our daily lives and have it spread to others?? Peace has the word ‘ease’ in it, which is described as an absence of difficulty or effort. There are moments in our lives, I am certain, that we have absence of difficulty; during sleep perhaps, or during times when things are running smoothly. Sometime even then, Peace is hard to come by.
Does it take more than one person to spread the idea of Peace? In my opinion? No. Water does not begin to boil all at once! It starts with one bubble rising to the surface to let you know it is almost to the boiling point and then two and then the whole pot begins to boil. It takes one person to have Peace in their life and to spread that Peace to others. It is simply contagious.
Here are some simply rules to finding Peace in your life!
1. Step back and breathe. Start each morning just breathing while lying in bed. When life gets hectic, step back and take a breath. It takes no effort to breathe does it? It will, however, calm you and bring a little Peace into your life.
2. Wake a little earlier in the morning and step outside. Listen, look and feel nature cleanse you as you focus with awareness on the greatness of all. This may require a little effort on your part at first, but the reward is the feeling of absence of difficulty in that moment.
3. Don’t sweat the small stuff. When your kids are crying and your life feels like it is upside down and you have so much on your plate that you feel consumed by pressure and stress; don’t sweat the small stuff. Look around you at what is important in that very moment. The rest is just stuff. Once you become aware of the important things, you forget about the stuff.
How then, will this change others? It won’t! I will change your perception of the things around you because you will become more aware of your surroundings! People will notice your newly found Peace and will wonder what your secret is. When they ask, share it with them.
So often, we lose ourselves somewhere along life's path. Maybe you lost yourself to marriage, your family, motherhood or your career. When we lose the power to believe in ourselves then we lose focus, desire, passion, love, friendship and the drive to live a fulfilling life - the desire to live to your fullest potential. We are now providing Tele-coaching and Webcam Coaching that can help you Find a Way to Believe in You! For more information please go online to www.the8thside.com.
