I would guess that everyone wants to have peace of mind...to live without stress...to be happy. Unfortunately, we not only want peace, no stress and happiness, but we want it 100 percent of the time, and we want it gifted to us.
The spiritual fact is that all of these are available within us 24/7, but we can only access them by giving over to another.
The giving over is done not from the head but from the heart, and it is not done once, twice or even thrice. Once we give over to s/he who may be a momentary bane in our life, we must needs continue to think and act as if s/he is our new best friend. [I know from my own personal experience that this is true; it works, I have experienced it...more than once.]
We can be grateful that our hours of spiritual discipline can and will remind us that we need...yes, need...to get off our own cracked track, thinking only of self, and remember that our decision to give our will and our life over to the care of God still holds. That God still has our back, and we need to think only of and for the benefit of others...our current irritant and others.
This is where a self-determined objective must get gone...mainly because self is still in control. Detach from self-determination and rest in the fact that our problem was never a problem to God, only to our self. It isn't that it has already been solved...it never was.
The only way to act on that is to react to nothing. Extend peace, love and joy to any and all. and know each for our angel.
Thank you.
