To be truly happy one must have inner peace, but how does one achieve that? I think basically one has to make peace with one's past, forgive those who have hurt you and ask forgiveness too for those hurts you may have caused. This is not to say that I have become apathetic or uncaring. On the other hand, I in trying to understand, I find myself in a state of mind where I can see why people do the things they do and are the way they are. When life turns ugly, I do not get angry or become vindictive, instead I turn to prayer and healing. My faith, trust, acceptance has helped me attain some degree of inner peace, not absolute but big enough to allow me to have peace of mind, serenity, and a happy disposition. I leave behind the past and look forward to a better tomorrow.

Searching for inner peace nowadays is indeed very difficult to attain. a person who search for inner peace may had it through continuous reflection and meditation to his/ her environment. It may be a religious act of an individual through ethically accepted standard in our society or simply looking at the beauty of nature. if the individual person will be just aware, conscious and active of doing what could make him happy not by causing any harm to his/her society , he/ she will attain that one peace with himself.. not to complicate our happiness and living our life in simplicity is one way to attain inner peace..

I felt calm after reading your post. It is really hard to achieve inner peace, bit if we learn to let go of all our hang ups in life and make amends to people whom we have hurt and hurt us, I think we would all be living in a very peaceful world.

" I give you peace, not as the world gives" This is peace that is beyond understanding no matter the circumstances. Believing in God and his son Jesus gives that ultimate peace that nothing else in the world can give. The only way to find this peace is to accept the one who gives it and to know that all thing will work out for good no matter what.
