At the end of the day it’s up to each and everyone of us to decide if we want a peaceful life, or live in an emotional elevator. Living in expectations is symptomatic of being a spiritual midget, and it will give us permanent residence in an emotional elevator. Whereas living in possibilities is the path to emotional homeostasis, but it’s the road less traveled. It’s about loving without conditions, which is the breeding ground for peace, nurtured by compassion for ourselves and others. Living in expectations means we’re prisoners, looking to be prison wardens. It breeds a life of always feeling like something is missing, when there is nothing missing. Look at every conflict in our world, and you’ll see expectations written all over it.

Life is the miracle, and with it comes death. None of us is exempt, or not deserving of everything that happens in between when we were born to when we die. The realization of this fact takes an individual journey to bridge the disconnect created, for most of us, by our upbringing. Once we do this we’re able to share our lives from a perspective of being totally happy from within. Humble. We don’t expect because we understand we are not special, and no one owes us anything. A tree totally connected to it’s peaceful nature.

It’s all a choice.

Peace
