Personal Peace

I have found that alot of my frustrations can be avoided. I try to plan ahead and think about potential conflicts. Then I am prepared and my reactions are so different.  Just the other day a friend asked me to accompany her to a walk-in clinic. She was not up to driving and I agreed to take her. Now I was still recovering from the flu, so knew I would be quite easily irritated. I went through possible scenarios with waiting in the clinic and my friend being ill.  This was so helpful and I was able to be genuinely compassionate. I was so grateful and I benefited just as much as my friend did.   Truthfully most things are not really worth arguing over.  I love this strategy to maintain my personal peace.
As you take two minutes to consider peace for our world today, think about strategies to maintain your personal peace.
