Peace

There is this whisper in my heart that says that living is peace could be so easy. That doesn’t feel true in the world we live in today. I’m saddened by all the senseless violence and hate, the living from a place of fear and distrust. Why does it have to be so complicated to live from a place of good feelings and love? I try to think kind thoughts for at least one person every day, because I want them to have the best that life has to offer them. I try to forgive as long as it doesn’t bring me down...I have this need to know what makes someone say or do something hurtful to another. There are times when I just can’t find the reasoning, so I have to let it go and move on. I want to spend as little of my energy on negativity as possible.

I wish that gratitude was stronger than greed. Family and friends should be the most important part of our lives. Doesn’t that make more sense? The material things that we purchase with that money don’t last forever, but the relationships we build, when strong enough, are with us forever. They help us to carry on through the difficult times; they lift us up, inspire us, and change our lives. Those we love are the reason we are able to release the beautiful works of our spirits and let the best of us shine through.

I dream of a world where we all come together and cherish what we have. In a time where you never know what might happen to you or someone you care about, embrace what they bring to your life and make sure that they know how grateful you are to have them. Support and encourage one another in each and every little dream. Enjoy the moment and try not to focus on tomorrow. Don’t believe that we can’t create that sense of peace around ourselves in some small way each day. The more we give and the more we live from that place, the faster it spreads...
