The Birth of Peace

I use to think that peace and happiness was dictated by those people and things around you. That it is obtained through someone or something outside of you. I use to allow my feelings of happiness to sway as people or things entered my life and exited my life and in return I’d feel like my peace was nonexistent….Did it ever really exist knowing that my peace could be swept away by the removal of someone or something from my life at a moments notice?

What we tend to miss sight of when our happiness and peace is fueled and depleted by that which is outside of ourselves is the lack of footprints that there ever was any existence of peace that ever walked our path. From my current experience, peace comes from within…which in return transforms happiness to joy..then joy exudes that which is unshakeable..unstoppable…unbothered..because there is an establishment within that is firmly rooted in self and centered around self…hold yourself accountable for your peace & joy.
