Peace of Mind …

Let me tell you, it is very easy to get peace of mind. Sometimes we may stray but the trick is to never let your peace be held by someone. I know parents are wondering if I am insane. Keep wondering, you are wasting time. Dare to be different. It is really freeing. You know, I hear that these bonds of family are so strong they may go against my second sentence.

I am not there yet and no! I don’t purport to get anything but yes; you can separate peace of mind with other stumbling blocks you may find on life’s path. Of course there must be stumbling blocks. I mean, who do you think you are? Welcome to planet earth. Fyi, even small kids overcome nightmares so stop whining and appreciate that you are alive and able to conquer stumbling blocks. If you keep falling on purpose, then you have yourself to blame.

You may think nightmares are just stupid but try telling that to a child…

 

Anyway, enough about kids let us concentrate on ourselves first. You know; if you do not love yourself, don’t think you can love anybody. And no! I never told you to be selfish. There is love for you and there is selfish. These two terms may confuse but somehow, you will know the difference. Let me not get in your way.

I’ve heard that love makes the world go round. I wonder at that statement. I am still wondering. Whether there is love or not, the earth will rotate on its own axis. Or maybe God is love so because He made the earth … There are so many ways to look at this statement, I don’t know which the truth is anymore. Or maybe, there are many truths. Imagine! That has not taken away my peace of mind. I am okay. I think peace of mind is just ignoring the useless things in life(I can’t begin to tell you how many things are useless. They are just too many) and embracing what you cannot do without (anything that does not go well with you and you cannot deal with, you can do without). You can shun anything that makes you what you are not. It is very possible.

I used to be selfish. Now, I just love me. Yeah, people change. You just have to have faith in humanity. Even the worst souls can shock you. But, separate the pretenders from the real deal. Not everyone is genuine. Some just want to use you. Trust me on this one. Actually, no! Don’t trust me, trust your instincts. Or guts, or inner guidance or whatever fancy name you use for that sixth sense. I do not want to downplay the importance of the other five senses but the sixth is never wrong.

You know, the mind is an intricate thing. Let me call it so because it is not an organ, it is not tangible, it is just another strange thing we have to live with. Psychologists may disagree. I wish it mattered. I believe that the first step to peace of mind is to forgive you. Failure to do so will just make you go mental.

Then if you want to be totally free, ask for forgiveness from the party you harmed. If not, try forgetting. Good luck on that one. If you harmed a dead party, I don’t know what to tell you. Seek professional help.

I am done typing what I have just been thinking.
