He was very upset. He was stuck in the middle of a property dispute. He was losing the case. He wondered what would he do. I asked him after he shared his story, what do you want? He looked at me and said, I want some mental peace! Whatever it is worth.
She was going through a divorce. Her family had pushed her into filing wrong charges against her ex-husband. In court, they were arguing and mudslinging. She wondered why her husband was doing that but she did not accept that she initiated that. She asked him, why did he do that, he simply said that he was responding to her. He asked her, what did she want and she said some peace. He asked her again, then what are you doing about that?
Why do you want peace? Because we like it when we are peaceful. Who likes to be worried about something all the time. Who likes to plan something all the time. It’s a blessing to relax and have nothing to worry about all the time. Yes, peace is whatever it’s worth. In both the scenarios above and many other scenarios in our lives, I always ask, what are you doing about peace?
In the first case, the gentleman withdrew the case and they divide the property genuinely rather than trying to snatch the bigger share. In the second scenario, the lady withdrew all her complaints and filed for mutual consent.
Was it easy? No, it was not. But they chose mental peace.
Choose peace, It’s worth everything. Choose peace, no one can find it for you. We can never be peaceful when we do wrong or hurt others. WE can be peaceful, if we are honest, truthful and follow love.
