If we truly want peace:
Then we have to value peace above all else.--We have to realize that it is the greatest treasure--that nothing on the outside matters --No material gain or comfort can substitute for the real and everlasting peace within the heart.
If we truly want peace:
Then we need to come clean with our lives. We need to forgive ourselves and others and come clean with our actions. Until we do we will never find lasting peace
If we truly want peace:
We have to be willing to take the spiritual steps needed to rediscover peace inside ourselves. This means being committed to the Path of Light and walking away from the trail of darkness that only leads to more suffering.
It does not matter how long it takes, the point is to keep our commitment by keeping one foot in front of the other
If we truly want peace:
We have to be willing to release our addictions of any kind. This means that we are more tired of the life that we are leading than the fear of embracing a new life and way of being. It means that this fatigue has finally soaked in enough to the point that we are willing to walk away from anything and everything that represents old destructive patterns and behaviors and be open to embracing anything and everything that will replace these kinds of difficult experiences, behaviors, choices and feelings.
If we truly want peace:
We need to be humble enough to ask for help and to seek out the right company. We need to be able to take in the words and teachings of those who are walking a path of peace and Light. We need to seek the company of the wise--those who are enlightened or on their way. We have to come to a place to respect and follow those who have walked the path and who know where the stumbling blocks are within the mind to come to a place of everlasting peace
If we truly want peace:
We stop playing games with others' feelings and with our own lives. We realize the seriousness of our actions when we do this and work to release ourselves from this need
If we truly want peace:
We have to refrain from finding faults with others. They are who they are just as we are who we are. We cannot control others we can only take care of ourselves. We have plenty of our own issues to deal with. We can only tell people how their actions make us feel; it is up to them to take action to help us heal from their behaviors and actions.
If we truly want peace:
We have to be prepared to listen to others on how our actions and choices affected them. We realize there is no place to hide--because we cannot hide from our own hearts--when we knowingly have affected others in adverse and negative ways and in turn have affected our own being.
If we truly want peace
Then we have to find constructive work that makes us feel good and is in alignment with our life's purpose. Going outside of this alignment only perpetuates disharmony and lack of peace within our own being
If we truly want peace
We have to realize that we are already are peaceful. We do anything and everything to disturb this inner tranquility
If we truly want peace
We need to wake up to the illusion of this world to realize that life is ephemeral, temporary and fleeting. What the world tells us is important is not necessarily so.
If we truly want peace
We have to re-discover that there is no other best friend except ourselves to ourselves. We have to value ourselves to realize that we are worthy of anything and everything that is in the Light.
If we truly want peace
We have to realize it is not about what we can get from others but we can give to others. We have to see that serving others takes the Self-focus off of ourselves and brings us into alignment with a greater purpose
