Is Your Life Peaceful | Filed under General
It is rewarding to find someone you like, but it is essential to like yourself. It is quickening to recognize that someone is a good and decent human being, but it is indispensable to view yourself as acceptable. It is a delight to discover people who are worthy of respect and admiration and love, but it is vital to believe yourself deserving of these things.
For you cannot live in someone else. You cannot find yourself in someone else. You cannot be given a life by someone else. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never leave or lose.
To the question of your life, you are the only answer. To the problems of your life, you are the only solution.
In case you just might have a desire to make some changes and you are searching for a few tips to help you reach some acceptance and peace in your life here are some tips…..
1. Nothing can be accomplished until we take the first step.
2. Showers of blessings come from storms of adversity.
3. When it’s time to die, make sure that’s all you have to do.
4. Do what you can where you are with what you have.
5. Leaders who serve will serve as good leaders.
6. Worry ends where faith begins.
7. Time–use it or lose it!
8. Our lives are God’s gift to us, what we do with them is our gift to God.
9. None are so poor as those whose only wealth is money.
10. The time to make friends is before you need them.
Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.
Og Mandino
Peace and war begin at home. If we truly want peace in the world, let us begin by loving one another in our own families. If we want to spread joy, we need for every family to have joy.
Mother Teresa
To those who see with loving eyes, life is beautiful. To those who speak with tender voices, life is peaceful. To those who help with gentle hands, life is full. And to those who care with compassionate hearts, life is good beyond all measure. Life is Simply Good at Always Victoria are they at your place, if not think about things as you go on your way.

Good words from a wise and beautiful heart. I may have said this before… but I think you live what you write and that is good. It is believable. I am proud to be your friend.
