Making a Peace Treaty with Yourself

Keeping peace is important.

It’s very difficult to do anything or produce anything when you are not at peace and are constantly looking over your shoulder.

“If we desire our faith to be strengthened, we should not shrink from opportunities where our faith may be tried, and therefore, through trial, be strengthened.” — George Mueller

There are 2 things that I do which helps to keep the peace.

First, I have a great awareness of what is truly important to me and what I am indifferent about.

If I am going out to dinner with a friend of mine and I prefer a restaurant but really just desire to have food, it’s not worth fighting for that preference if my friend has a strong preference.

The first thing that I do to maintain peace within myself is understanding what matters and what doesn’t.

I may want to go to Ruth’s Chris while my friend thinks Outback Steakhouse is good.

If we go to Ruth’s Chris, I will be pleased and enjoy the food.

If we go to Outback steakhouse, I will be pleased.
