The Gift of Peace

“Give peace a chance”. By the Beatles. It’s easier said than done.

It is so easy to take up arms against your fellow man. Peacefulness is a superb way to approach conflict so that no one is made out to be wrong. That’s why mediation works. Both sides come away satisfactory, but not with all that they want. Compromise is peace made in heaven.

So often we crave power, but think of this, how awesome would it be if you gave up your power (ego) for the power of peace. Peace is positive, peace is mutual respect, and peace is collaboration.

Our ultimate goal in life really is to find inner peace within ourselves, and contentment, so that when we meet our maker, we have a clear conscience, and a clear vision.

Peace is reconciliation, not chaos. Chaos is what war is all about. Politics now are what chaos is about.

Peace cannot be achieved through suspicion, anger, fear, but through a peaceful coming together of minds, respect and trust in your fellow man or woman.

Give peace a chance.

Trust must come first before peace so that both sides obtain a better outcome. Don’t expect the worst from someone, but expect the best, because if you are negative on the outset, you are setting yourself up for failure, and that is the crux of the situation we tend to find ourselves in when you don’t give peace a chance.

Daily we hide in our phones behind text messages, emails, voicemails, avatars, telephone calls, and if we don’t like something we read, see, or hear, we make threats behind a screened door, not wanting to face the music, so we become masked figures with no balls.

Always negotiate peace face to face!

A peace killer is stress, anxiety, egos, sadists, and guilt to name a few. I think inner peace is a willingness to embrace it, open your mind, and let it flow inwards, embracing the contentment, resulting from your daily actions, as you continue your journey of absoluteness.

Give Peace a chance.

I leave you with this quip with background info if you can’t find peace:

By following the simple advice I read in an article, I have finally found inner peace...

The article read:

"The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started."

So, I looked around the house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished....and before leaving the house this morning I finished off bottle of red wine, a bottle of white, the Bailey's, Kahlua and Wild Turkey, the Prozac, some valium, some cheesecake and a box of chocolates.

Ahem. I’m not perfect.

You have no idea how freaky good I feel....

I Gave Peace a Chance.
