2 separate understandings creates prosperity


2 Farmers lived side by side from one another. They both had the same amount of land.
But both farmers were taught different methods of farming.
And their fathers were successful in farming.
Time went on, there had been a little tension between each other, of who had the best crops.
As time continued on, the property across from theirs was sold.
That piece of land was a little larger than either one of theirs alone.
So as the company continued to produce, the other two farmers neither one had the capability alone to compete.
Both farmers were feeling the hurt.
They analyzed and decided that both the farms together would create a larger than the company that moved across from them.
They studied and understood that each had different provisions. The one had all the equipment they would need.The other had all the seed and chemicals that was needed.
So as you can see, that the farmers felt they had all they would need to prosper.
But they finally realized that neither one had it all. it took both of their understandings and techniques of farming, and the tools each one had to prosper.
After the merger, the farmers ended up with a larger piece of land than the company across had.

They both come to realize that change had to take place.
By learning new techniques and ideas that both had,
the merger became successful.
They were finally able to compete in business.

A thought for your Journey

( analogy )
Two Good friends were hiking together up a mountain side.
During this journey they were having a conversation.
As the discussion continued, sure there were disagreements!
Even though there were disagreements and were not able to see eye to eye,
they were still friends.
Both were professional hikers.
But they had different ways to tie knots, they still helped and respected each other.
They had a common goal and that was to reach the top of the mountain.
They did not completely understand each other with their own thoughts,
they still needed one another.
No matter how either one understood their training, their eyes were on the same goal.
By looking back, they had the same instructor.
They understood nutrition, they both had their own protein.
Each other knew what their own bodies needed.
And just like in every class of students their instructional videos were the same.
Every individual has their own technique on how to input and
access the information from their internal hard drive.
Here is the whole root of the analogy.
Along any path you start your walk with friends,
you will have your own way to step over holes, rocks and trees.
By staying close and next to the ones you started your journey with, if one would trip or fall you would be there to help.
They were not there to help push the other over the cliff, but to help get to the same goal together.

How To Find Inner Peace

Your level of peace is directly related to your level of trust in God. The more you trust God, the more peace you will experience. The less you trust God, the less peace you will experience. If you choose to completely trust God, then stress will not be a part of your experience. If you experience any level of stress, it is because you have chosen not to fully trust God.

Inner peace can be reached only when we practice forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past, and is therefore the means for correcting our misperceptions.

A mind at peace, is a mind centered and not focused on harming others, and is stronger than any physical or mental force in the universe.

What is peace of mind? It is a state of inner calmness and tranquility, together with a sense of freedom, when thoughts and worries cease, and there is no stress, strain or fear. If we want to transform our life and be free from problems we must learn to transform our mind.

When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations we tend to regard the situation itself as the problem. But in reality whatever problems we experience comes from the mind. If we were to respond to difficulties with a positive or peaceful mind they would not be problems for us; indeed we may even come to regard them as challenges or opportunities for growth and development. Problems arise only if we respond to situations with a negative state of mind. Therefore, if we want to transform our life and be free from problems we must learn to be open for help and to transform our mind. Sufferings, problems, worries, unhappiness, and pain all exist within our mind; they are all unpleasant feelings, which are part of the mind. Through prayer, controlling and purifying our mind we can stop them once and for all.

There are and there will be people who live in peace and harmony. Therefore,
they can offer freedom to other human beings who internally have decided to live life with problems of this life as we know.

Often these free-spirit filled people are part of a minority group that has experienced severe pressure to turn to a higher source.
The results of a intense conflict between being spiritual or conforming to societies torments and problems of this world. They finally can surrender to being totally true to themselves and to the fundamentals of being lead by God.

By turning to the higher source of real strength and comfort, life will then feel the freedom and peace our lives were originally created to live in.

Your level of peace is directly related to your level of trust in God. The more you trust God, the more peace you will experience. in your life.
