{"text":"The coffee ☕️ is in the cup ☕️ \n\nThe surface of life is also in a state of constant flux, with good days and bad, victory and defeat. To maintain, as the ocean does, a deep inner calm, while the storms of misfortune, reverses, fears and worries lash at the surface of life, is to discover the secret of serenity.\n Years ago, when Thomas Edison's factory burned down, he wasted no time bemoaning his fate. Immediately after the disaster the reporters found a calm, quiet man already at work on plans for a new building.\n When Emerson's home was destroyed by fire and his precious books were being reduced to ashes, Louisa May Alcott came to console him. The great philosopher said, \"Yes, yes, Louisa, they are all gone, but let us enjoy the blaze now. Isn't it beautiful!\"\n Some people are ocean personalities. In their inner depths they are not defeated by what happens to them.\n The towering waves of circumstances cannot reach us when we go deep within to seek the peace that passes all understanding. While the surface of life is in turmoil we can find an inner calmness to see us through.\n\nQuestions to consider:\n\nIs there peace within you? Do you let it be a guiding force, or something that just comes out every once in a while?\n\nWhat kinds of steps can you take to develop your ability to be peaceful, to think peaceful thoughts, to see things in peaceful ways?\n\nIs it possible for us to contribute to the peace of the world? Will our peaceful nature have any effect on the rest of the world?\nFor further thought:\n\nThe important thing to remember is that peace comes from within your own heart and mind, not from some outside source, and when you refuse to be disturbed by things about you, life will flood your being with dynamic energy.","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}
