Peace of mind is a precious present everyone likes to get
in life because it brings in happiness and joy. Also it acts as the firm
foundation for achieving great things in all walks of life. Without peace of
mind one cannot do much. This is a fact and there is no proof needed to
illustrate this simple fact. Therefore we are all in search of peace of mind.
Where is it available? What is the cost of it? How to get it? – These are some
simple questions look silly. In fact peace of mind is available everywhere and
every time. It is free. Also it’s easy
to get it. Everything is in our hands. Someone said, to attain peace of mind
one has to live in the present, not in the past and not in the future! Of
course, it is true; we get peace of mind if we forget the past and also not
expecting much in future. Let the mind be in the present. But it oscillates
between the past and the future. Making
the present more productive and pleasant will certainly give us peace of mind.
It is better to forget all difficulties and
sufferings of the past remembering the remarkable things we have done. That
gives the greatest satisfaction and thus peace of mind. Similarly we need to be
fearless about the future. Thinking of a rosy future is one of the ways to
attain peace of mind. The kind of peace we expect may not be there every time.
Now and then we will be forced to difficulties by circumstances. We have to
have patience and strong will power that those difficulties are only passing
clouds. The sun will shine in our lives once those clouds pass away. “If winter
comes, can spring be far behind?” Of course not! Hoping for a happy future and
planning to attain it will pave a way for peace of mind.
There are millions of billionaires who have
everything in life except peace of mind. As a result the possessions become
useless. Others may feel that those who have everything in life have peace of
mind. But, it is far from true. Still some are successful keeping their mind so
strong to enjoy their possessions properly, sharing with all friends and family
members. They live in present and try to make his or her life more fruitful and
see his happiness in others’ life. Helping the have-nots by the haves brings
peace of mind. Indeed, there are many spiritual gurus all over the world who
advise human beings who are in need of peace of mind. There are innumerable
books written about peace of mind. Meditation, yoga, soft music, good thoughts,
growing plants, talking to a good friend etc. are some of the activities that
bring peace of mind.
Strong minded people are successful in
overcoming difficulties and live in peace of mind. The weak minded persons will
have problems to get peace of mind. They are the ones who are in search of
peace of mind. They wish to get it by short-cuts. In fact, they
do not know that there is no short-cut approach for peace of mind. They need to
make their mind strong by avoiding fear from their mind. Fear is one of the
strongest enemies for peace of mind. Hence if we drive away fear from our mind,
it paves the way for peace of mind. Peaceful mind absorbs more knowledge,
allows us to think better, and gives us ideas to solve problems and above all
good health and happiness in life. Then why not we try to get peace of mind by
simple living and high thinking?
