Choosing peace means you say...I choose peace and turn away from chaos. It is an active decision...not something that just happens.
After living in a swirl of chaos I have a clear framework for what kind of life I want. I choose peace.
Like I said...choosing peace is an active decision. And just because you choose to live with peace ...it ddoesn't mean that your world will never be rocked. What it means is that you are more likely to find your center again. If you are knocked to the ground...you are more likely to find your footing faster this time.
Here is what I have been choosing...and no matter where you are in your life...you can too:
Choosing peace means you have your mind set at looking for the good in the world and not looking for the bad.
Choosing peace means you take some time every morning to remember why you want peace. You get centered. You go forward expecting the best from your self and everyone around you.
Choosing peace means you are so involved in your own life that you cease trying to manage anyone else's.
Choosing peace means you allow people just to be...and then you get to be too.
Choosing peace means you take off your armour and set down your verbal weapons. Not because you are not proficient with them...you set them down because you choose peace and you no longer need to be armed.
Armour is heavy...peace is lighter. Choose to travel lighter.
