Being at peace within ourselves and living with compassion may be our destiny, but it is a lifetime challenge. In our hearts, we know what must be done to achieve these lofty goals. We may meditate, chant mantras, follow the instructions of highly respected teachers, say daily prayers, and attend religious services, in hopes of finding the key to become a better person. With all the work we put into our efforts, we should have reached our goal by now. But attaining peace is not the same as being at peace with oneself. Living a life of peace and compassion is a way of life. Although we may initially react with human emotion when we are challenged with adversity, understand that the challenges are not meant to break us but for us to see our weaknesses for what they are and to overcome them. Today, live a day of compassion. Reflect upon how you interact with yourself and others. Does your day flow as easily as you would like? At the end of your day, know that your spirit guides you towards the peace and life of compassion that you seek.
It's easy to find peace and compassion when we are alone...
