Peace of Mind

Most of the images in the news channels have never been very nice and beautiful. World is changing, not for better but worse. Reality is, the world is just like a human, getting old as time goes by.

I need to attain a peace of mind, especially in today's world in the rat race of commercialism and cut-throat competition, as the decaying of the Earth and the threat of pandemic of bird-flu. So what we are enjoying the good health care and basic economic security in Singapore? Are we prepare for the worst situation?

Can we stay cool and be at peace when we face any forms of disasters?

1) Change ourselves to suit the environment.However unfriendly the environment, we must know to create a harmonious relationship with it.

2) Endure what cannot be changed. Just turn the disadvantages into advantages. Every day we face numerous inconveniences, ailments, irritations and accidents that are beyond our control. We must learn to put up with these things. We must learn to endure them cheerfully thinking, "God will it so, so be it". God's logic is beyond our comprehension. Believe it and you will gain in patience, in inner strength, in will power.

3) Meditate regularly and remember God. Meditation makes the mind thoughtless. This is the highest state of peace of mind.Surpisingly, this will increase our efficiency and we will turn out more work in less time.

4) Do not bite more than we can chew.We often tend to take more responsibilities than we are capable to carry out. This is done to satisfy our ego. Understand our limitations.Why create extra worries unnecessarily.

Today, I attain certain kind of happiness, returned by God - My health.
