Reminders For Amber #8 - Be At Peace

Stress and the many problems you encounter in your day drives you towards frustration, even anger.  Finding the peace within you to stay calm and composed in the midst of all these is difficult but learning to tame your demons inside will be so much more rewarding for yourself and in your relationship with others.

Friedrich Nietzsche says, "To learn to see- to accustom the eye to calmness, to patience, and to allow things to come up to it; to defer judgment, and to acquire the habit of approaching and grasping an individual case from all sides. This is the first preparatory schooling of intellectuality. One must not respond immediately to a stimulus; one must acquire a command of the obstructing and isolating instincts." 

The calm individual is not only the more intelligent person but also the more at peace and thus the happier being.

Never be hasty to react, to judge others, to speak - weigh your truths and contemplate before you take action.  Keep your peace, stay calm and tranquil because nothing gives you more advantage over others than remaining cool and unruffled under any circumstances.  Age tempers you, experiences  helps you but to learn calmness from a young age will only benefit you more.   True beauty comes hand in hand with a gracious temper and calmness of spirit.  Peace is Power.  Peaceful is beautiful.
