I wish I could say to you that I have constant inner peace. \u00a0But that would be a lie. \u00a0I can say, however, that I am more at peace today than at any other time in my life. \u00a0And it’s the direct result of changing my thinking. \u00a0I wrote a book a few years back titled: Change Your Mind and Your Life Will Follow<\/a><\/strong><\/em>. \u00a0Some of you reading this might have read it. \u00a0You can check it out on amazon or my website if interested. \u00a0 But the premise of the book is the idea that if we truly want our lives to change, we have to change how we show up in our lives<\/strong>. \u00a0In other words, if we want to be at peace, we can’t embrace an angry heart. \u00a0If we want to experience more joy in our lives, \u00a0we have to allow those who are on our path to live how ever they choose.<\/p>\n

One of the first and easiest ways to cultivate more inner peace is to let go of the others on my path, to quit trying to control them, to realize and then celebrate that we are in each others’ lives intentionally but that intention is not about control. \u00a0It’s about learning how to appreciate each other. \u00a0To respect each other’s separate ideas and allow for the differences that give life color and richness. \u00a0It’s called detachment.<\/p>\n

I have discovered that being able to detach from the behavior as well as the opinions of others is pure bliss. \u00a0It’s not about denying that others have acted or expressed their opinions. \u00a0It’s simply about learning to live with those differences, knowing they don’t need to define me. \u00a0They don’t need to control me. \u00a0They don’t need to anger me, scare me, or push me to act in any way other than what would please me.<\/p>\n

I well remember the many years of my life that no matter who I was with, I gave them full control over my thoughts and my actions. \u00a0I let them define me completely. \u00a0And then one day it changed. \u00a0No other change I have made has had a greater impact on my relationships with others. \u00a0Not judging who I am or how I am doing by the actions of others is such freedom. \u00a0It’s a freedom you can’t fully express to any one else. \u00a0It has to be felt to be appreciated.<\/p>\n

I’m telling you about it in hopes that you will seek it out. \u00a0The way to find it is easy. \u00a0Let go. \u00a0Let go of everyone else. \u00a0Let go of their behavior, their opinions, their plans for their future. \u00a0Keep your focus where it belongs. \u00a0On your path. \u00a0A path you share with the God of your understanding.<\/p>\n
