Define Peace

Too often, I think people spend a large part of their lives seeking what they think is happiness. During this constant hunt, they miss the possible contentment that may be standing right in front of them. What a sad mistake. Perhaps, rather than saying we want to "be happy", maybe we need to seek peace instead. Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. Rather, it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your
heart. I am not saying achieving peace is easy, I just think it may be a more realistic goal. It is one I am working on daily.
I am thankful.
