My first grade class learned the song, “Let there be Peace on Earth.” It was the first song that I sang in front of strangers.
“And let it begin with me…..”
I don’t think the world will ever find peace, so we must be at peace with ourselves.
“To take each moment and live each moment in peace eternally….”
Today is my 20,929th day on this journey of life. In a couple months I will have logged in 21,000 days since I first met my parents up on the northside of Chicago.
It probably took about 18,000 days to figure out how to be at peace with myself.
I came down with a simple formula to find peace…
WORK, PRAY and BE KIND.
These three things are the ingredients that have helped me find peace with myself. It is when you find peace with yourself that enables everything to fall into place.
All of the regret, the doubt and the hate will disappear. Well maybe it won’t disappear, but it won’t dominate your heart.
“Let peace begin with me, let this be the moment now.”
Starting today….. go find peace!
Do what it takes to build peace in your heart and in your soul.
Buy a bicycle, learn how to play a ukulele, join a book club.
The number of days we have lived is growing and the number of days too live is dwindling.
I love that final scene in “Caddyshack” when Rodney Dangerfield turns to the crowd and says, “Hey everybody! We’re all going to get laid!”
The end of that movie is fitting, because at the end of life we all do get laid…. Laid to rest.
Be at peace when you get laid.
