"If their absence from your life brings you peace of mind, you have not lost anything". This is a quote I read a couple years ago when I was having a hard time letting go of someone I cared about. That's all folks cause I don't talk about my personal life on here. I never understood how important peace of mind is till I got it. I think the power of letting go of things and people that bring us down or no longer fit in our lives is not emphasized enough with how important peace is. Having peace is the feeling of no worry, the feeling of not being stressed and just knowing God will do everything for the best. Peace of mind is being happy with ourselves and who we are despite our limitations.
Peace of mind brings a sense of calmness and contentment in life and is something we should all aspire to have more than any wealth, materialistic things or the perfect relationship. Peace of mind can be attained by letting go of attachments or the need to be perfect because the need of perfection and control can take us to a place of stress, lack and illness. Only focusing on the things in our control and not worrying about the others is greatly important in life because life is a cycle and most of the time the right things just flow in life when we are not constantly thinking, seeking or beating ourselves up over them. Letting God and the universe do its job takes the pressure off us and giving up our need of control is what is needed. Sometimes we just have to take a moment and let go of the burdens that may be weighing on us no matter how hard and uneasy there are. A person with knowledge of self knows that nothing can happen in their world without their permission. Anything that happens or comes into their world has to be permitted by them.
A person with peace of mind is not easily angered, doesn't hear the noise or let the actions of others impact them and fully focuses on their own world instead of comparing themselves and their progress with others. Peace of mind can also be gained by doing activities like meditating, reading, working out and other things that put us in our personal zone. It is important for everyone to be okay with silence. Whether it is sitting silently in the room to hear our own thoughts, turning off the radio in the car to embrace what is around us, praying, or just sitting down to read. A person comfortable with silence will be comfortable in hard moments. Stop seeking money and all the materialistic things and first seek peace of mind because all the others will come with it. What the wealthy people around don't talk about is how unhappy they are even with everything they have and own and how hard it is for them to find peace. One thing I always emphasize is how much more mental life is than we think. Once we conquer the mental side of life, there is nothing else we can't face because that is the main foundation.
