Do you have inner peace?
Or is it something you are searching for?
I am lucky as I do have inner peace I have been able to
forgive those who have done me wrong not because they deserve to be forgiven
but because I will not hold onto negative and destructive thoughts and
feelings.
I often say that life is too short to be miserable not because life is short but
because you really have no idea how long you will be around for, so I feel you
should enjoy your life love yourself and surround yourself with people who love
you and respect you and treat you well.
I have encountered people who say they have no idea how to
achieve inner peace or they have no idea what inner peace is, I have even heard
people say they can’t tell if they have inner peace and I have thought how
could you not know if you have inner peace or not…………………
Ok if you do not feel tense or worried most of the time, if you
can sleep soundly without worrying about things that might happen, if you can
sit and enjoy the peace and quiet around you without having upsetting thoughts
enter your mind then you may have inner peace…………………..lol
Inner peace doesn’t just happen for everyone some people
have to work at achieving it by not stressing over things they cannot change
and learning to forgive people, to be able to take a deep breath and say I for
you for treating me badly then just letting the negative feelings go into the
wind or air or whatever…………………..
I do have inner peace, and it's because of the faith I have. I feel so badly for people who struggle with this. I'm glad you have it~
ReplyDeleteI am glad you have it my friend
DeleteI have inner peace, but it is not perfect - I have to work on it!!!
ReplyDeleteI think for most people it is something they have to work on
DeleteSo many people find it hard to forgive others, some never do until it's too late.
ReplyDeleteHaving inner peace is such a blessing, and lucky are we that can achieve it and do have it.
Yes I know some people who can not forgive, hubby is one of them he doesn't know how to forgive he thinks forgiving is about the other person and can't get that is about his peace and has little to do with the person being forgived
DeleteWhat a truly lovely post my friend. Yes, I do have inner peace. Like you, I very much believe that life is just too short to harbour grudges or to be miserable. Quite often when I'm walking along, I will smile at someone, and they will either ignore me, or just glare. I just think, "oh well, it's your loss". Life is so much happier if you can face it with a smile on your face, and to be kind to others. If we do not forgive, the bitterness will just eat away inside us, and that's no way to live a life.
ReplyDeleteThank you my friend I am pleased you liked the post yes holding grudges serves no purpose well I don't think they do except maybe upsetting yourself as you can be sure the person you hold a grudge against isn't bothered.........I also often smile at others I pass during my day most smile back those who don't well like you I think your loss...........
DeleteA lovely post. I hope I do, I think I do. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you think you do they you most likely do.......
DeleteWell, aren't I the odd man out? I don't have inner peace. I am aware of it and strive hard every day not to worry and stress but for a variety of reasons I do. As far as forgiveness, I have a few things in my life that are (in my mind) unforgivable but I don't dwell on it, most days don't even think about it. Still, it sets me up to protect myself and not let people physically and/or emotionally do harm to me. As for the people that hurt me, I just put them out of my mind for the most part and figure that they have to deal with how they lived their lives at some point.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have inner peace that sucks......and there are some things that a person may feel are unforgivable........I do get that.
DeleteI have inner peace as long as I don't think about Dr. X. I do my best to banish him from my brain.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
The don't think about Dr. X ever.............
DeleteVery nice post to start a Monday with. I have missed seeing you over at Geek Girl USA. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have been around will pop on over right now.....ok after I peg the clothes on the line but I will be there
DeleteI enjoyed reading this. It very much resonated with me on this very busy Monday. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am happy you enjoyed the post....
DeleteYes, mostly.
ReplyDeleteI have my days when I am all wound up.
I am sugar and caffeine sensitive and too much of either makes me not feel a lot of peace.
