PSA: Let me first
apologize for not posting these last few days. I just moved into a
new apartment and the moving process, balancing work, and setting up
gas+electricity in my apartment took priority over everything. That
being said, I still don’t have internet and have to hang out at the
local cafe to post these, so until internet is fully set-up I might
not be posting every day.
Yesterday, we talked about the importance of finding happiness within the self. Today is a new day.
"I do not want the peace that passeth understanding. I want the understanding which bringeth peace." Hellen Keller
When
I think about being at peace, I don’t think that I know everything.
Instead it’s like despite my lack of knowing what will or might be,
I know that things are still okay. When I think about understanding,
it is something that helps me feel at peace. The two go hand-in-hand.
While
being at peace can give us the realization that we’re fine as-is,
this understanding is also what helps us maintain that state of
being. They balance each other out.
However,
sharing is caring, and once you’ve reached a point where you’ve
figured out how to be at peace in any situation, you become free.
This understanding brings peace to yourself, which in turn can also
be used to help others find peace within themselves, too.
The
understanding required to find peace is simple – there is nothing
to understand. We just need to be at peace.
The
secret is that there is no secret. We had the power all along.
Peace

Today’s assignment: Consider what you would need to understand to find peace. For a few moments, drop that need and feel the peace.
