Peace

Merry meet,
When you think of the word 'peace' what comes to your mind? Most would answer with 'quiet' 'no noise' or 'alone' but to really achieve peace, in my opinion is to be the calm to someone else's anger. To be the calm in the middle of the tornado. You can find peace in a quiet room with no noise or on one around but that is only an outer peace.
Inner peace is achieved through hard times or hard experiences. Most of the time but achieving inner peace is also the ability to be calm amidst anger or chaos and still remain calm. The words 'peace', 'calm', 'quiet' usually go hand in hand and are most often used when in coincidence of each other. To experience inner peace, you have to be able to redirect anger or violent behavior towards something,well,peaceful.
Violence and anger are another set of words that are used together often. But a person who has inner peace will act out of kindness even in the face of danger or violence. A person who has no inner peace will act in anger or violence when confronted with something fearful.
I want you to try something. I want you to try sitting in a room where maybe a party is going on or where your kids are playing and being loud and close your eyes and just try to remain calm, do this for at least ten to fifteen minutes and comment with how it made you feel.
It helps me especially on days where everything feels it is going wrong.
Let me know of your experience with it!
