We would have to continually live on a desert island to have peace, with no access to what’s going on in the world. Life doesn’t work like that, but us changing certain thoughts, means we can work towards finding a little peace.

Vibrations and Energetic Fields

It is important we think about our emotional energy. We need to learn, to know that our surroundings and conditions respond to our vibration, or energetic field. Our vibration is based on what we think and feel and to know that we call the shots on how we feel.

We’re not in control of other people, or circumstances beyond our control. We can only control our response. It is stressful when we feel the need to have control over other people.

Direct your Life

So, instead of letting your conditions influence your mood, let your mood influence your conditions. Direct your focus in the direction you want your focus to go. Although our physical senses pick up on what’s happening around us, we should acknowledge what is happening in our reality.

We Can't Control How Others Respond

We can’t always control how others respond, instead we should use our time to focus on finding solutions, so that we stop focusing on others and our problems all the time. When it comes to another person’s behaviour, we hope they will do right by us.

It’s not always how others work, so we should choose to see a higher perspective. We can do that by maintaining our connection with the universe and understanding the forces at play and the bigger plan for us.

2 comments on “At Peace”

  1. I don't remember where I read it, but this post reminded me that true happiness is an inner quality.

    It is a state of mind and if your mind is at peace, you are happy. So first we must find peace and that's not so easy, but your post helps our understanding of what we can and can't control in our attempts to find peace.

    1. Thank you that is kind. You're right everything starts from within us and peace is a state of mind. I believe we can train ourselves to begin to think differently about what we deal with.

      It is important we think about and change our lifestyles also. The more simple life we live, the more peace we will find.
