What is True Peace?
The path to true peace is really quite simple, but we’re all looking in the wrong direction.
The problem most people face when trying to find peace in their lives is they focus on where they are, what they are doing, and what is or has happened to them. Peace to so many people means freedom from financial strain, a beautiful quiet place in nature, or an absence of worry. A whole industry has grown up to cater for these people’s desire for peace, and the industry keeps them pointed in the wrong direction with promises of the latest new method that will bring them peace in their life.
True Peace has nothing do so with where you are or your circumstances. Stop looking outwards and start looking inwards. True Peace comes amidst the storm, chaos, and worry of life… it does not come from freedom of those things.
One way is seeking to control what is happening to you…the other seeks to control how you think and react to the things that are happening to you.
If you can understand and start to practice, the ability to understand that you cannot control what is happening around you, but only how you think about and react to those circumstances, then you are starting to look in the right direction for the peace you are seeking.
