I am reminded how my inner peace is essential to my joy and happiness.
I remember how I used to be very emotional. In fact, I would become so upset I would lose all control and go into a rage.
That scared me, so I have spent much of my life going through stages of development and achieving different levels of calm.
I have tried being emotionally numb, which never ended well. I have tried to force myself to be calm and peaceful, that just built up the rage inside.
Eventually I learned the cause of my anger: my expectations and beliefs, and how I created each of them.
When my beliefs were not respected or my expectations were not met, I would be hurt and I turned my hurt into anger.
I changed my beliefs and lost my expectations and took up acceptance and appreciation.
As I choose to live in acceptance, everyone and everything is exactly who and what they are supposed to be in my life for my greatest good.
Through statements of appreciation, setting my intentions, and meditation, I get to enjoy an inner peace.
I get to bring the calm.
May each of you find your calm.
You are Loved.
