Abundance of Peace

It does not take a large bank account, a beautiful house or fancy car to have an abundance of peace. Peace is something that is found within us by the way we choose to view the world. Peace is found in knowing there is enough in the bank account for your needs or being able to happily adjust those needs to match its balance. An abundance of peace is found in a home filled with warmth and family you love and loves you, not in its furnishings or location. Peace is found in knowing you have a way to get where you want to go, even if it doesn’t have leather seats. It’s about where you choose to go in your mind. There is not an abundance of peace in trying to be something for someone else or in keeping up with the Jones’. Peace comes from keeping up with your own dreams and recognizing when you have achieved them. “Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.” -- Buddha
