Peace

why are we here 2Peace is a state of mind, which has a different meaning to those who genuinely seek it.

Peace is freedom from distraction, focusing on the beauty of life

Peace is love and being loved

Peace is the stillness of the morning on a bright sunny day, being still and enjoying the sunlight coming through the windows.

Peace is refraining from battles with those you come in contact with, a coworker, children friends or your spouse.

Peace is looking at the waves crashing on the beach time and time again, looking far and wide at the ocean that lays ahead.

Peace is tranquility, silence in a pure moment of surrender to this vast universe, observing all Gods creation and marveling at his creativity.

Peace is standing tall at the top of a mountain, screaming at the top of your lungs, feeling the wind blowing through your hair, and the freedom of just being, breathing and taking in the sites.

Peace is being in harmony with the world around you, not destroying but living harmoniously.

Peace is silence in prayer, praying for God’s blessing, healing and direction.

Peace is being still and meditating in God’s word.

Peace is believing God exist, creator of the universe, his unconditional love and gift of salvation. Knowing he is the same yesterday, today and always.

Nuggets of Truth: May the Lord of peace give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.

2 Thessalonians 3:16

sunset-1113547_960_720 Why are we here, on this planet, at this time? The answer is complicated and may be different for everyone. However, I believe we are  here to live a life that’s meaningful and pleasing to God. Enjoying all his creation, the sights the smells, the beauty that surrounds us in nature, all of it is a free gift from God.

LIFE REGRETS

e608332df7a2ea63294aa6a0bf201633If you live regretting what happened in the past, you will never be able to live your dreams. Your past is yesterday and your future is tomorrow. In the present, learn the lessons life has taught you and make improvements to achieve a new reality. None of us can change our past, but we can reshape our future.

Reflecting on regretful situations will only cause you to focus on negative thoughts while losing your peace of mind. I’ve been there, and believe me when I say you don’t want to go there. Learn to forgive yourself for the past.

Forgive yourself for things you never completed or said that’s too late to change. Don’t let it define who you are as a person. It’s  never too late to make a change. Let go of what doesn’t serve your interest.

When given new opportunities, don’t be afraid to take a chance. Whether it’s starting a new business, changing careers, or going to school in order to learn new skills. Know who you are and figure out what you want out of life.

The forces within, sometimes  whisper that you’re not capable of committing to anything or completing a task.  Believe you can change your circumstances in spite of where you are right now. Don’t allow shoulda coulda woulda  to be your mantra.

Take a chance, live a life worth living.One day you might be surprised how your realty will change. Stop living with regret knowing you can’t change the past. However you can try to reshape your future. Make every day count towards a more productive tomorrow. Don’t settle for less, find your own path. In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take.
