Peace finds everybody eventually

no is the answer

“Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than as you think it should be.” —Wayne W. Dyer.

I was travelling to work this morning and I knew that’s where I was meant to be at that moment in my life because I couldn’t be anywhere else. If I’d turned the car around and headed home, that’s what I was supposed to do, however, I didn’t do that because it’s not in my nature to let people down.

That’s a very simplified example of living in the moment, however, if you use the same thought process to every situation, it makes sense because you’re doing exactly as you’re supposed to be doing all the time.

Once you accept you are where you’re meant to be, you can stop the war waging inside your head that’s telling you, “you can do better,” or “how could that happen to me,” it’s at that moment you find peace.

When you find peace in the moment, you’ll find peace everywhere you go.

Can you be anywhere else? The answer will always be no.
