Reflections

Ten ways live in peace

1. I will rest knowing that not everything depends on me.
2. I will always do things with love, even if they don’t turn out perfectly.
3. I will live with the conviction that “Someone” is looking after my life.
4. I will not carry more burdens than I can carry calmly.
5. I will learn to say no when it is fair and necessary.
6. I will go as far as I can in my dedication, without demanding more from myself.
7. I will never force my pace, but will calmly accept what I cannot change.
8. I will take a daily sip of life with great confidence.
9. I will live with the conviction that taking care of myself is an investment in my future effectiveness.
10. I will face problems one at a time.
