A Little Piece Of Peace

There is much we will never understand despite our very best efforts.

True understanding is not only the ability to be fully aware of the meaning of something but to also be fully aware of its implications.

Some people, situations and circumstances will always confound and confuse us. There is so much that will never make sense. It’s inevitable that there will be occasions when we make bad judgement calls…when what we think we know turns out to be something altogether different.

We should never allow that to rob us of the will to be more empathetic. We should not permit ourselves to lose the drive to be a better person today than we were yesterday.

We will never reach a point where our understanding is all-encompassing. Accepting that means learning to live with the frustration that comes with it.

We should avoid the tendency to become our own worst critic. We should give ourselves credit where and when it is due.

Many people struggle with self-acceptance. Trapped in their past they are unable to enjoy their present or look to their future.

The very best we can hope for is to understand the person we are. Understanding is the pathway to acceptance and acceptance brings peace.

If we make peace with the person we are we can become the person we are meant to be.
