A choice you make that came with some struggle. To let go. To jump in. To shift your perspective. You did it. You made the call.
How do you know if you’re at peace with it?
Well…
You’re at peace with it.
Or you’re not.
There’s not a lot of in between. “Peaceful” doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ve gotten to a state of excitement or delight about a situation. Peace is the clarity that brings calm—no matter what’s going on. So… you can be at peace with risk, with sorrow, with the hard work that needs to be done.
Peace doesn’t always dissolve the weightiness of things, but it gives you the resolve to carry what you must and put down the rest. @DanielleLaPorte (Click to Tweet!)
You may move in and out of states of peace. On Monday you might feel all cool and at ease with a situation, and that’s real. And then on Tuesday, feelings might arise that disturb your peace. That’s okay. Choose the thinking that will get you back to inner peace. If you keep doing that, the peace gets deeper and less shakeable.
Even if it’s just one day at a time, when it comes to being at peace, you’re either in or you’re out.
You’ll know it when you get there.
May we all get there.
Only ever Love,
