Peace

There has to be some semblance of peace, somewhere in our lives. It's imperative. And that peace is like everything else in life that you need or want, it's something you need to put energy into to make happen.

Sometimes (or possibly always) with all the will in the world, things don't work. You can think that you are strong enough, but sometimes it takes more strength to be kinder, be nicer, be more loving than it takes to push through willfully. And it's the same way with peace in your life.

Sometimes you just have to stop pushing. You have to love yourself enough to be kind to yourself. To stop a moment and breathe fully and make a decision that is made in love for your own well-being. Like - I'll rest now. I'll be good to myself. I will honor my need for silence. I will laugh with the one I love. I will lay down my sword in the battle of wills and dance instead.

To find peace, you have to let the ego go, because peace is not found in ego, it is only found in the most unconditional love.

Blessings.
