So met a lady who had a big business to manage and a family to manage sitting very peacefully. There was lot of hustle bustle and still she was calm. i asked her how is it possible for you to be so calm always?
She smiled and said because I am peaceful. So the next question was, are you happy? She said yes, i am very happy. It’s the happiest of me. It is not one moment happiness, I am over all happy. Which was so beautiful to hear.
So what makes you so happy and peaceful? She again smiled and said that I have always followed my heart. Whenever I decide something, I always look at the fact that what would make me happy? What would give me peace in my heart? If by doing something, I feel I won’t be peaceful in the longer run, I do not choose that. It may include small decisions like if I want to cut labor’s salary, I want to forgive someone who has wronged me, I want to apprehend my children, I want to confront someone or anything. Or the big decisions like which job to choose, life partner or leaving the job behind and starting my own business. Sometimes I have failed but I have always felt peaceful. I did not regret I know! If I feel my action or inaction is not coming from the heart, I do not choose that.
Peace comes from within. It also comes from the decisions which we make everyday. We need to look inside to know what we are creating inside everyday. If we start creating peace inside self everyday, we would be peaceful. Choose what makes you happy. Choose what makes you peaceful. That would come from heart. From mind, you would always be wondering if you have taken the right one. Sometimes, people come and ask, how do I know what is right and what is wrong. The answer is simple, follow your heart. Because that is where the God resides. that is where our guidance is. If we follow our hearts, we would always be right.
