Peace is not the absence of pain , but the presence of love .:
Notes to Self You Should Repeat to Yourself this Week
Bhavani
Positivity does not mean ignoring the negativity around you , it means overcoming the negativity within you . There is a big difference between the two . The peace , happiness , and effectiveness of your life greatly depends on the quality of your thoughts .
On an average day , most of your stress comes from the way you respond , not the way life is . Adjust your response and all that extra stress is gone . Truly , inner calmness among chaos is a superpower that frees you to focus more effectively on what actually matters .
The trick is to be present . Don ’ t wish away all your days waiting for better ones ahead . Just appreciate where you are today . You ' ve come a long way , and you ' re still learning and growing . Be thankful for the lessons . Take them and make the best of things right now .
Everyone you encounter is struggling in some way . Some people are just better at hiding it . So even when you have good reason to be angry , don ' t be hateful . Rise up , with boundaries and grace . Remind yourself that peace is not the absence of pain , but the presence of love .
Om Namah Shivaya !!!
You don ' t need to attend every petty argument you are invited to . Take this to heart and your future self will appreciate it . Because as you age , you will learn to value your time , heartfelt moments with loved ones , and peace of mind , much more . Little else will matter .
