We all seek for peace; there can be no second thoughts on that. However, only few us know what exactly of being peaceful means and even only further few actually follow the path to attain peace.
In today’s materialistic world, we often get confused between pleasure, happiness and peace. These are the three key experiences by which our life is characterized. While pleasure is an experience limited to mere material fulfillment, we experience happiness from the sense of service to our society. Peace is yet far from happiness, an experience that one cannot describe merely in words. Let this be inscribed in you that peace within alone can end human suffering.
So what exactly one needs to do to be in peace within. I am not going to preach you spiritual things or try to influence to stay away from materialistic world. Nobody needs to be a monk to achieve peace.
Instead, you can carry out your daily activities, enjoy each moment as you have been doing so, and yet remain happy and peaceful. The only thing you need to do is alter your mental thinking and of course some actions which are not needed.
The mere awareness of life and death and we being under control of some super power alone will make you conscious of doing right actions. It is a well-known fact that happy individuals create happy families which ultimately leads to happy societies. The result is opposite when you are unhappy.
Non-fulfillment of desires or not getting expected results makes one unhappy. Therefore, the first thing you need to do is ACCEPT the situation you are in and then try to improve it. There is a popular saying that calmness and tolerance acts like an air conditioning in a room thereby improving man’s efficiency. Therefore, be sure you have a steady and calm mind for most of the time in order to achieve desired results. Talk to yourself quite often and do not allow you to crumble and get confused under any circumstances. Teach yourself that all events are temporary whether good or bad. If you are running through a rough patch in your life, think positive that this situation will not remain permanently and tomorrow is going to be great. Make sure you simply do not sit on this thought but take actions as much as you can to get yourself out of this miss.
In addition, yes make sure all you dream are realistic in nature. Fantasy is different from dreaming. Fantasy is virtual and has no boundaries. It gives a false sense of pleasure. So dare to dream first that would help in building strong desires and then it is time for action. Your inbuilt desire followed by good actions will give you sense of achievement and thereby happiness and peace. There could be setbacks every now and then, but what you need to focus is the small progress at each step you have taken. You never know when these small steps lead you to your final destination.
Therefore, the next time you find yourself frustrated and unhappy, command your mind to be positive and take the situation you are in as a challenge rather than meekly surrendering to it. God Bless!
