The Serenity Of Peace
Throughout the years that I’ve inhabited planet earth, my battle has consistently been to maintain a spirit of peace – a state of calm, and a stability that is driven from within, and that remains unaffected by what is happening without.
There are so many forces – particularly in this media-driven generation – that would seek to draw away our attention from our internal mission and our God-given assignment.
And it is for that reason that we must constantly guard our personal radar from being jammed or interfered with. For true reception rises from the heart and soul of man, and what a tragedy it would be to wake up at the end of a lifetime to suddenly realize that you have been playing another tune, and for that reason have been living a discordant life and far below your potential.
Each of us have been dispatched a unique tune that we’ve been created to hum, to sing, or to play – and one of life’s greatest enjoyments is to embark upon the journey of discovery that ultimately unveils the beautiful melody – the one of a kind orchestration- that is solely ours. It cannot be stolen. It cannot be faithfully copied or imitated. It is ours alone, and it is for us alone to sing.
And it is in that zone that true peace can be attained, and true fulfillment and satisfaction achieved.
And what if we have only been supplied with one string upon which to play our tune, then let us pluck it with all of our might as a master violinist would play a complete instrument. Let us practice day and night – fully committed to becoming grand masters who will usher forth a concerto that will fill the room whenever we enter. Let it pour forth with such clarity and purity of sound, that others will hunger to hear more and be urged to discover their own melody.
For it is as we all stay true to our melodic distribution that we will create, in unison, a symphony – far greater than anything penned by Beethoven.
Imagine six billion musical renditions that have been designed to produce a world of rich colour, of dynamic revelations designed to bring joy to all – birthed from a state of serene peace.
So if you are called to pluck, pluck with all you have. To strum? Then strum. To sing? Then sing. To blow? Then blow. To strike? Then strike.
Find your place, and that may mean at first enduring a period of trying and failing. But stay with the mission and fail until you succeed, for you will succeed if you don’t stop.
And once you have found your place – be you, and you alone. Refuse to be swayed by other noises that invade your state of peace – and stay there – for it is in this place that you were created to rise above the clatter of a busy world and dwell at your optimal best.
