What Can a Pause Bring?

“It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.”

– Eleanor Roosevelt

To maintain peace, one must work at it and believe it’s possible.

Mentally strong people are confident in their notions. They are willing to give up those things in life that rob them of their peace of mind.

While pausing to maintain peace, we must willingly surrender:

• Victim mode
• Requiring approval
• Any annoyances
• Excessive stuff
• Critical people

We all can practice mental strength exercises every day, but first, we must strongly desire and believe they are worth the effort.

The more strength built within, the easier it is to find true peace in life. How might you pause giving up something today to replace it with relief?
