PEACE: Everything will be alright!

BY KIMBERLY BAILEY-TUREAUD

How many of us really practice faith? 

I’m talking about faith in a higher power that will assure a positive outcome. Now, the interpretation of the outcome might not be what you think it should be, but it’s what has been ordained. 

The ability to be flexible with your expectations is a practice that brings peace. There is always calm on the other side of chaos. Your mission is to get to the side of resilience and keep moving in the direction of agency and reckoning. 

Control is yours. You are the master of your fate — and whatever comes is the result of what you planted in the universe. All else has been propelled by another force, and your only defense is the reaction to what you encounter. 

There is a place for silence. Silence is a mighty force that can move mountains or give others the motivation to move themselves. Yes, it was already said, done, or imagined. The movement of thought, that inspires spirit, will conquer discomfort. 

We must understand the emptiness in “the give and take” mentality. “I am because you are” is a better response — because it allows you to receive or give without condition. It’s the “just because” that is needed to embellish humanity. 

One thing for sure, and it’s what He and the universe promise: “Everything will be alright!”
