A lot of people seem to have a
hard time finding peace in the
myth of all the things that
happen in their lives. There are
three key words in order to reach
a peaceful state of mind --
trust, surrender and detachment.
Trust simply recognizes the fact
that regardless of circumstances,
everything is working in divine
order for our highest good.
Sometimes it is very difficult to
recognize this fact, specially
while we face challenges.
Most of the time what we
perceive as challenges, are
simply opportunities for us to
grow. They are nothing but
blessings in disguise because if
it weren't for those particular
circumstances, we would not have
attained higher levels of
awareness. For example, an
individual who loses his/her job
finds himself/herself later on in
life doing something far more
rewarding and fulfilling, and in
most cases more lucrative. That
being the case, was losing a
curse or a blessing? How about
the individual who develops a
physical imbalance that forces
him/her to be more loving,
forgiving, adventurous, allowing
him/her to experience more out of
life that they otherwise would
not have experienced, and as a
result of his/her experience the
imbalance disappears. The truth
is, everything in life happens in
divine order according to natural
law which is generated by our
thoughts.
To most people this is very
hard to believe because they do
not want to accept the fact that
they have brought upon themselves
the very circumstances that
create their reality. So the loss
of a job may have been triggered
by the fact that the individual
wanted to do something else but
was afraid to leave that
particular line of work. Same
with the physical imbalance
which, in most cases, is why
diseases are created. They could
be used as an excuse to give up,
or may help us listen to the
request of our souls. Listening
to our soul's request is the same
as trusting our inner guidance.
In seeking to know ourselves, to
communicate with our divine
presence is the same as what
Jesus reminds us of when saying,
"but strive first for the kingdom
of God and His righteousness, and
all these things will be given to
you as well." [Matthew 6:33]
The second key for achieving
peace of mind is called
surrender. This can be difficult
for most people to practice,
specially when we have been
taught since birth that we need
to be in control. People pay
thousands of dollars to
motivational speakers to
reinforce the idea that we have
to take charge, we must set
goals, we must decide how and
when things are going to happen
at any cost. Yet the result of
such struggle can lead to health
problems derived from stress, not
to mention the fact that our
infinite potential is limited by
our preconceived ideas of what we
think we can achieve.
Surrender has nothing to do
with giving up. It simply states
that our requests are being
answered, and that the universe
has ways to make our dreams come
true in ways far more
extraordinary than we could ever
think of. When we look at nature,
we realize that everything is
always working in divine order
and without any effort. There is
never a mistake. Some may say, if
everything in nature works so
perfectly, then why can't human
beings experience the same
perfection? Because we have been
given free choice. The universe
always gives us suggestions
through our inner desires and
intuition, often to be ignored by
our own plans -- by our idea of
how things ought to be, by our
need to be in control.
God will never deny our
request regardless of how limited
it may be because whatever we
want for ourselves we can
manifest. But to experience
nonresistance and effortless
accomplishment, we must surrender
to the will of the Universe who
only wants for us nothing but the
best for we are the beloved
children of the Creator who wants
us to have it all. As Jesus
reminds us, "it is your Father's
good pleasure to give you the
kingdom."
Finally, the last key for
achieving peace of mind is
detachment. This not only implies
detachment to any particular
result or outcome, but also to
any particular thing, opinion,
etc. Detachment from a particular
outcome is pretty much the same
as surrendering and trust, where
we move in the direction of our
dreams with a sense of peace and
understanding that everything is
unfolding in divine order,
therefore allowing us to enjoy
each present moment knowing that
our requests are being answered.
That also adds excitement to our
lives because not knowing how
things are going to manifest is
like a kid who knows his present
is under the Christmas tree but
doesn't know in which box is
located. It adds mystery, fun and
excitement to life.
Detachment to a particular
thing is a little different. It
means to let go of any material
possession, understanding that
wherever that came from, there is
plenty. It allows us to cultivate
the awareness that there is
enough, as well as understanding
that when it is time for
something to no longer be part of
our lives, it is simply creating
the space for something far
greater to enter. The letting go
of the house may lead to the
acquisition of a mansion. The
letting go of a wardrobe may lead
to a much finer one. And when we
achieve higher levels of
awareness, some of those things
will no longer be of great
importance. We can still have
them, but they won't make any
difference because we have
achieved a state that is so grand
that nothing on the material
realm can lead us to that
experience. So in not having to
hang on to anything, this allows
us to experience peace all the
time because in life we came here
with nothing and that is how we
will move to the next dimension.
Jesus reminds us of this truth
when he said, "Do not store up
for yourselves treasures on
earth, where moth and rust
consume and where thieves break
in and steal; but store up for
yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust
consumes and where thieves do not
break in and steal. For where
your treasure is, there your
heart will be also." [Matthew
6:19:20:21]
Trust your inner guidance,
detach yourself from any outcomes
and things and surrender to the
process while you enjoy each
present moment. Not only will you
experience more joy and abundance
than ever before, but also, you
will experience true peace of
mind.
