There was a raging storm within me when I took some selfies, while on my way to church with my family. When I was done, I looked at my reflection and it exuded so much peace, I don’t want to say looking at myself inspired more calmness and peace in my spirit because that would definitely sound vain and cocky but I guess I’ve said it.
True peace of mind isn’t the absence of trials, it is what holds you together after something heartbreaking happens.
It is where you find solace in the fact that you understand what you really have control over and what you don’t.
Every day we meet burglars trying to break into the peaceful homes we build inside ourselves—our place of safety and comfort, of well-being. Every day we interact with the world, while protecting this safe haven from attacks or intrusions.
The thing is, everyone is struggling, and the ones who hurt you are in their own trials of life, trying to find their way.
They are flawed human beings just like you, shaped by many variables — many of which they had no choice over — that may have not given them the benefit of doing the right thing at every moment in their life.
That doesn’t excuse their actions, but you realize: that so many of these people are more tragic than they are threatening.
Understanding why people are what they are helps us breathe and let go of their slights.
You realize the burglars and intruders aren’t looking for anything but a place of safety and comfort themselves.
Invite them in. The capacity of your heart will certainly surprise you. Peace of mind cannot be taken, but it can be shared, without limits.
“Show respect even to people who don’t deserve it; not as a reflection of their character, but as a reflection of yours.” Dave Willis
Good post. I learn something totally new and challenging on blogs I stumbleupon on a daily basis. Its always useful to read content from other authors and practice something from their websites.

You definitely realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More and more people have to look at this and understand this side of your story. Its surprising you arent more popular because you surely possess the gift.
