“Truth is the agreement of the mind with itself”
Plotinus
Freeing the mind of needless stress and strife should by rights open the floodgates to a peaceful life but too often when we snatch a little peace we find difficulty in maintaining it. There would appear to be a masochistic streak lurking in some of us.
We drop our guard, slip back into harmful habits and invite negativity to re-enter our lives causing fresh turmoil. But time is running out and what little is left must be spent first on attaining and then maintaining peace in retirement to the exclusion of all conflicting intrusions.
Think back in time...
o What topped the list of ambitions during your working life?
o Acquiring wealth, power, property, status, and the like?
o How successful were you in your quest?
o How do feel now about the outcome of your endeavours?
Think now about this. If peace of mind didn’t top the list, you were perhaps working to the wrong scale of priorities. Peace is the priceless gift, and when you get right down to it, it’s all anyone really wants out of life because with peace comes contentment and inner happiness.
