Thanks for the invite Uriel, the way I get peace is by meditating when I can, even though this can be quite difficult working full time and attending college. I try to go to as many meditation meet up groups as possible. I truly feel like if can take a few minutes to meditate you will have some peace in your heart and mind. These days can be so stressful between worring about yourself, your family, and the people around us. I dont think the world will ever be perfect but we can do what is our power.
Thank you all!!!
It excites me to see you all here, and to read your thought and willingness to share new ways of living in Peace.
THANK YOU!
Love you all,
Uriel

Peace,
something humanity had been waiting for, for years and years,
and yet, the world has not yet rested.
When I started searching for a way to make peace,
I found that it is only with myself I have to.
The thing is that anybody else,
any situation, or place,
can be always changed, or replaced.
If I don't like my job, I can change it.
If I don't like the relationship I'm in, I can change it.
If I don't like the place I live in, I can always get up and leave.
Any situation, can always be changed.
The only person,
the only thing I have to live with, is myself.
That is why I've searched and studied after a way I can always live in peace with myself.
When I say myself, what do I mean?
My mind.
It is always there,
always has something to say,
always with me in any circumstances.
The thing is about the mind,
is that it has a job,
and that is to think,
to interpret,
just to make sure.
The thing about the mind is that it is afraid of change,
So whenever we want to change something in our lifes,
Our mind jumps, and never let us be in peace.
There is a slight problem with that,
And that is that the only permanent thing in our life, is change.
That means that we live contantly in fear.
That is far from living in peace, isn't it?
One day, out of nowhere,
A thought came to me, and it was:
"It's ok, you can breathe."
Why?
Look at yourself for a moment,
Look and choose an area,
Any area which you have an interest in,
Any area you touched, observed and chose as a part of your life.
Observe and check with yourselves,
Do you know more today in that area, than you did 10 years ago?
When you will find yourselves in a situation in that area,
Would you know better how to react and what to do?
Even if you won't succeed, still, you would know better in that specific area.
We live our lives in the thought,
That only when we succeed, we prove to ourselves, and to the world surrounding us
That we know.
And what happens when we don't?
Aren't we still learning?
After all, even when we don't really think about it later,
When we will find ourselves in that same situation,
We, even if it will be for a split of a second,
Will remember the situation from past experiences,
And will react to it differently,
Even if we won't be able to explain what was the difference exactly.
And slowly slowly,
Time after time,
We will examine the situation from within,
And in some point, we will just know.
We will know what to do,
We will know what to say,
We will know who to speak to,
And even, we will know that even if we don't know right now,
In some point, we will know.
What does this entire means?
That if we improve every moment,
And if we get better and better,
Even if it takes some time,
If change is the only permanent thing in our world, That means that change is good.
So, if change is permanent,
And we grow and know better every moment,
That means that change is making us better.
We change and improve,
Grow and learn,
And slowly slowly,
Grow to contain more than we could before.
We can, more, with time.
So what does all this mean?
That in one of those days,
And no matter what we will do,
Our desires will come true,
And if we will still want them,
They will be there,
Waiting for us to understand,
Waiting for us in infinite patience,
Waiting for us to grow, to become wiser, to know to contain them,
In one of those days. It's ok, you can breathe.
Change, happens for itself.
And change is good.
