The older that I get, the more at peace I become with myself. Just like everything else worthy, if we want peace we have to work at it. It requires focus, determination and trusting God. Which is practice. I don’t always get it right but that doesn’t mean that we don’t try anyway.

Recently, I have become more at peace about a few things.

Here are 9 Things that I have made peace with:

1. That when you do the right thing, most people will criticize you.

2. When you are authentic, most people might not understand you.

3. Hard work and dedication pay off, always!

4. There is no such thing as free, someone is paying for it. Whether it’s you or another.

5. Giving to others feeds the soul.

6. Unless someone is in my shoes, they have no right to tell me how to live my life.

7. Unless I am in someone else’s shoes, I have no right to tell them how to live their life.

8. Forcing happiness on myself and others only creates resentment.

9. Life is about ups and downs. Stability starts with the mind.
