FIND THAT PEACE IN YOUR HEART When one opens his or her heart to other it starts a chain reaction that never stops, unless the chain brakes along the way. Nevertheless, even if the chain brakes it still can be mended, and the willingness to share goes on. That’s the key to having peace in one heart the willingness to share of ones self and just being who you are and not what others think you should be. If you have to try and please everyone than you will always be at battle with yourself and therefore will find that it will cause you harm down the road. In life I have come to let go of things that could alter my mood or focus, because in life we all tend to hang onto a negative thought or remember a dreadful situation. I think about how different I once was and the man I am today and to be honest sometimes I wonder how I changed so much. I love who I have become and I think I’m much more tolerable to situations that may send some people into an unhelpful state of mind. I have met many people over the years that tend to let things pile-up (one on top of each other), and refuse to do anything about it. They become angry with the world and end-up losing the people that are around them. I can’t stress this enough if you have a problem and you can’t deal with it on your own find someone to talk to about it, and don’t minimize your problem you are having. Believe me when I say it will come back to haunt you in one way or another. I use to do speaking engagements at one time on Aboriginal culture and it always seemed to drift away from the teachings to my past life and how I over came so much. I have met lots of Native youth and non-Native youth that have had a horrific childhood and I listened to them tell me what they went through. I always told them the same thing,” you should never try to bury your emotions when it comes to the how you feel about what happened to you”. For me the key to finding peace was letting my emotions come to the surface and making myself deal with my problems that made me angry at the world and the people in it. I remember an Aboriginal Elder saying to me, “When you talk about what troubles you, you are haft way to healing yourself”. I have never forgotten those words and never will. I have used that saying many times with people I have met that are in need of help. Life throws us curves at times and nobody is immune when it comes to feelings of being hurt, it happens to all of use from time to time. Nonetheless, when times are good and you feel that life is going well for you and you can’t believe just how well things are going, remember it all happened because you feel good about yourself. When a person gives out positive energy good things happen and when you’re negative, well negative things happen. It’s called (LAW OF ATTRACTION), people are drawn to the energy you giving out and if you are positive, than that’s what you attract in your life. Having peace in your heart has so many positive outcomes and is that not what you want in your life. Written By: Raymond Thompkins
