How do you know when you finally find peace in your life?

Today I had a thought. How do you know when you finally find peace in your life?


As I sat here thinking about this question I came up with this.

You kinda know that you have peace when your world is not perfect. Things aren't going how you want them too and it feels like you have hit a brick wall.

When you are struggling in life with whatever comes your way, money, love, kids, or life in general.

When stress seems to be the only emotion that you feel and looking forward all you see is ?????

When it feels like you are stuck at the bottom of a barrel and no rope to climb with.


When all of this is going on in your life and the people in your life are having great success and you still have a smile on your face and joy in your heart for those who are deserving of good things, then you can truly say you have peace with yourself.

Our nature to be jealous or question  " why not me" only creep in when you haven't found your peace and thankfulness for what you have.

It is much easier to look at those who are having good things happen and feel jealousy or envy or even anger but when you finally wake up and realize the important things in your life and that God has his own time for everything you can be so happy for others and for yourself.

Enjoying every minute of life with all those in your life is so much more rewarding than feeling sorry for yourself. Besides why feel sorry for yourself when you have family, love, and God. What more could you possibly need.

Material things are just that and those things come and go.

So the next time someone around you finds good fortune and your fortune still hasn't arrived try to be happy for those who God feels deserves it. I guarantee you will be a little more at peace.
