Peace Of Mind

Ran across this gentle piece of wisdom from a few years ago. It may come in handy over the Thanksgiving holiday: “It’s hard to find peace of mind when you’re giving someone a piece of yours.”

How often have we opened our mouthes and closed off communication by telling someone, “the way it is”? 

Offering unsolicited opinions or engaging in any form of arguing are worldwide diseases that we've all fallen prey to. What we fail to notice, after offering our mind's “piece,” is we don’t experience peace – just a stirred up sense of being right that just doesn’t feel right.

I have yet to figure out how to argue my way to peace. I’ll bet you’ve been in the same boat looking for a peaceful place to moor. It’s a perpetual, “three hour tour.”

This doesn’t mean you can’t offer an opinion, just make sure it doesn’t come out as an edict or, God forbid, the only way.

The older I get the less I argue. I find that very peaceful. I used to be a pretty good arguer, but that skill only served up unsettled feelings within me, so I’ve chosen to argue less and enjoy life more.

Don’t take my word for it. Try it on for size. If you like it, buy it and wear it in good health. If it doesn’t fit, then as they say in the sports world, “No harm, no foul.”

In the old Greek usage of the word, my “argument” is this: The more you choose not to argue or expound, unsettled feelings are lost, and peace of mind is more easily found.

All the best,

John
