"Happiness, true happiness, is an inner quality. It is a state of mind. If your mind is at peace, you are happy. If your mind is at peace, but you have nothing else, you can be happy. If you have everything the world can give- pleasure, possessions, power - but lack peace of mind, you can never be happy." - Dada Vaswani
Peace
of mind is a virtue given to man by God. Life will not always be easy
on you. The tougher it gets, the tougher it makes you. Through it all,
one needs absolute peace.
To find peace about who you are (understanding
that you are beautiful/handsome from within and who you are is not
found in anybody's description of you).
To find peace about what you do
(that you do what you do because you love it or you do it because its
leading you to something greater than yourself and you are contributing
to lives positively).
To find peace about the choices you have made (
understanding that you felt those choices were the best when you made
them, that those choices have made you better, stronger and made it
easier for you to decide on new choices that will be better and that
there is a greater force somewhat involved in using those choices to
mould and prepare you for a bigger task).
To find peace about the
people in your life ( understanding that you will need to live with some
people for the rest of your life and no matter what happens, you will
need to live in peace with them as much as it lies with you and that you
can also stay away from others who will do anything to destroy your
peace of mind).
Peace is really not found in the world or in humans
because it is difficult to be at peace in a tumultuous world. Peace is
something we need to work towards everyday. Its something we need to
seek God for. He has said my peace I give to you not as the world gives
but as he gives.
