There are moments in life where things seemingly shatter into pieces. You are facing divorce. You’re an empty nester. You’ve been furloughed or let go. A loved one has passed and you’re struggling with it.
Life happens.
And at times we may need to allow things to fall out of place and shatter. Sometimes the shaking and shattering can all work out for your good if you choose to pursue peace.
But how do I focus on peace, when my life is in pieces? I am glad you asked.
Peace means freedom from disturbance; tranquility.
Disturbances come and go in life, that is guaranteed. However, your attitude toward these circumstances makes all the difference.
By no means am I telling you to be unmoved by what life brings, instead I am suggesting you know that the waves are coming and figure out how you will approach them?
At times the tides of life are low. At other times the waves are in full force. In some circumstances, you may experience a hurricane. People who live by body’s of water account for the changes that element brings.
You who embrace that ups and downs come with this territory of life also must account for the changes that life brings.
Some moments will call for you to surf the waves. Other times you are sun tanning and going for a walk on the beach. Every now and again you may find yourself bracing for a hurricane and that’s okay — have a game plan for it when the moment arises. Tropical coastal towns don’t attract visitors from all over the world because they advertise hurricane season. They attract visitors for their more beautiful and outnumbering peaceful and blissful days.
The same is true for you.
Life is about pursuing peace at all times. Sure unexpected turbulence will arise but you plan for it the best way you know how, but don’t stay stuck there. At some moment you have to return to peace. You have to know that sunny days don’t last always but there will be more sunny days than rainy ones.
This is your attitude shift. Instead of maximizing your pieces focus on peace. The greatest book of wisdom states in Psalms 30:5 “Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.”
The old folks used to say “trouble don’t last always.” No matter how rough it looks know that joy is on the horizon. Calm shores will greet you again, and tranquility will return.
