My grandmother didn't teach me to cook or sew. She taught me a much more important lesson: how to find peace. Life will never get easier , you just get better at dealing with the difficulties. Being at peace is having an understanding that life doesn't happen in an orderly fashion. Being at peace is accepting that you gave something your best and that is all you can do. Being at peace is accepting defeat and choosing to look at it as a lesson. Being at peace is letting go of things out of your control. Being at peace is realizing your many blessings and never taking them for granted.
My grandmother's words to me when I have encountered difficulties have always been , " be at peace." I never truly understood this until she explained that she is not afraid of the day she dies ; she has lived a full life with no regrets. She is at peace now and will be at peace then.
Peace does not come from things being perfect. It is an inner calm in your heart that can not be shaken regardless of your circumstances.
