Peace with all may not always be possible
But we can desire and be determined to live at peace with everyone!
Peace with people brings peace to your soul.

People will always be who they are no matter who you are or what you have done for them.
We can’t determine who people are or what they will do,
But, we can control our actions to them.
Although we sometimes contribute to reason why people hurt us
Ensure you do not hold a grudge against anyone.

Being at peace with people is not the same as:
- Allowing toxic people be close to you.
- Letting anyone talk you down
- Being around those who make you feel less of yourself.
- Ensuring you owe no one your happiness
- Being on talking terms with all (not intimate terms always)
- Not being puffed up and judgemental
- Not expecting reciprocating gestures when you do good
- Ensuring the fault of a badly turned out relationship is not from you
How do we then pursue peace with all?
By:
By:
- First making peace with God (Peace with Him gives you peace!)
- Making peace with yourself and your past
- Putting yourself in other's shoes
- Listening more than you respond
- Learning the art of silence.
- Responding to issues with maturity and comeliness.
- Being humble enough to apologise when wrong.
“Learn to live together with other people, you never know what people live through. Be kind to all people because living in harmony with one another brings inner tranquility” ― Lailah Gifty Akita.
Peace is its own reward.-Mahatma Gandhi
I Love you!
