Finding Peace In Your Life
Finding peace in your life
Everyone's always talking about finding peace in their lives. Let me ask you, is there chaos in your life? Is there always so much drama around you? You never get a minute's peace, and you wonder why life is doing this to you?
Is this you? Are you thinking you will never have peace?
I have to tell you, and you might like this, but because I'm not Willy Wonker, I do not sugar coat shit! Stand up and be accountable for your life. Peace is a choice. You choose to have peace in your life!
Simple, huh? Yes, you choose to have peace, but it is up to you.
I write a lot about choices because that is what life is all about. Yes, things will get thrown at you. Sometimes, life will absolutely suck, but life is not always going to be a bed of roses. So get over it. It is what it is. This is real life. Sorry to be so harsh, but sometimes the truth hurts.
But it's about how you chose (there is that word again) to deal with it, that will make or break you. I write every day. I write about my story, my ups and downs, and about what got me to where I am today. It was all my choice. My choice to be hard-headed, my choice to do drugs, and my choice to stay in an abusive marriage, and yes, it was eventually my choice to give my life to God. But it was only because I was broken and hurting. I was lost and dying inside, and I had nowhere else to turn. I chose to believe God and know that I could do it. I could walk away from drugs, from my old life and yes, even from my abusive marriage. Even when everyone, including my own mother, said I would never make it on my own.
I choose to be happy. I choose to be positive every day. I choose to have peace and joy in my heart. How do I do this? I let go, and I gave it all to God. I knew that I couldn't do this on my own. Look, what a mess I made of my life without him. I chose to pray and let God worry. See, nothing changes when you worry, absolutely nothing! So why do it then? When I realized that, I chose to no longer worry about anything.
I choose to be grateful each and every day, even when things are falling apart around me. Even in the face of the storm, I know he is there for me. I know I will be alright. This is a test, to see how great my faith is, or to teach me a lesson, but no matter what, I know it's not happening to me but for me and I know it will get better.
The bible talks about seasons. We all have seasons in our lives. We have wonderful seasons, and yes, we will have hard seasons. We will have to endure, but it's up to us to hold on to our faith, to keep praising and keep thanking him for what we do have.
I chose to live, to give him all the glory with all that I am because I know I will be alright. I chose not to complain about what I don't have and give thanks for what I do.
Oh, here's a big one that most people can't or won't do. I chose to change. To change me, change my bad habits, and change my surroundings. I even changed the people in my life, which was necessary to make my life more peaceful.
Sometimes change is tough, but without change, you will not get to your goals, your dreams, and your peace.
So today, my friends, you say you want a peaceful life? Here are the steps to help you get there, now it is your choice to do something about it.
Remember, you only have one shot, and life is too short, so choose wisely.
