It makes no difference if a person is poor or affluent since contentment comes from inside. You will do much better if you are satisfied, if not delighted, with your station in life, whether poor or wealthy. Nothing can affect you once you recognize that satisfaction, often known as happiness, is an internal job. They may remove your luxuries, which will undoubtedly hurt at first, but even conveniences, which make life more pleasant and simple, do not equal pleasure. When I mention happiness, I do not mean joy, that effervescent high feeling we experience when we are pleasantly delighted. I am referring to tranquility.
Peace is the lack of anxiety or stress. It is an unwillingness to succumb to anxiety or depression. It is a state of continual affection. Love, unconditional love, can only accept. Isn't this true? It never rejects. When you love your child, you attempt to love them unconditionally, for who they are rather than what they have done. When you love your pet, it is unconditional since they cannot reciprocate your compassion. True love is boundless. When you love this way, without expecting anything in return, the conclusion is always peace, since peace is the outcome of love. To achieve peaceful serenity, we must be in love with something. It might be a partner, a pet, a family member, a friend, or even God. If you love God with all your heart, even if you are on a desert island, you may experience enduring love and tranquility.
Why does love provide calm in our hearts? Peace is an inner knowledge, an internal trust that everything will be well. The world may crumble around you, but when your mission is to love, you will find peace. For example, spending time with an adored dog will make you feel appreciated and therefore tranquil. This is why couples' breakups cause so much sorrow. Because they made their lover the focus of their affection. When the wellspring of love is taken away, so is the tranquility. When we are not at rest, we experience anxiety and sadness, both of which are unpleasant. This explains why some people switch from one relationship to another. It's not that they didn't experience true love; it's just that they dislike the discomfort it caused. The cure to a split is not to replace your partner, but to learn how to replace worry and sadness with tranquility! Even love of oneself may be a motivator to move forward in life. Give yourself the love you wish you had received, and you will discover that tranquility comes effortlessly.
In times of economic distress, you must make a decision to overcome inconveniences such as homelessness and hunger. The best way to overcome fear in grave situations is to remember who you are. Refuse to be overwhelmed by dread. Refuse to be defined by your fears. You are not considered a "loser" because you are jobless, homeless, or starving. You are the same worthy individual who formerly had a full bank account. You are the same amazing person you have always been, only without a job, a home, or a bank account. I say temporarily because your luck might change at any moment and those items may be returned. You see, bad luck is just fleeting. Bad conditions arise and go. Did you observe that? Some days are excellent, some are horrible. You must not be under the impression that all is lost. As long as you have your mind, you will ultimately get back on your feet.
Have you ever heard of a rags to riches story? Mine is the same. I was born to modest parents in a little hamlet just outside of Mexico City. We were not as destitute as some Mexican peasants at the time, because my father was usually employed. But money was always scarce, so I never knew wealth. It wasn't until my work gained international recognition and my paintings sold that I got my own money! I wanted to pinch myself at times because I was so happy for the praise I received from the creative world. However, money was never the reason I became an artist; I would have painted regardless of whether I sold them or not. My inspiration and key were a love of creating.
When I was confined to bed, I resolved to rise above my circumstances by erecting a scaffolding that would allow me to continue painting. I am one of the few worldwide artists who have painted from her bed. Because if you love something, you will not let adverse circumstances prevent you from doing or being with it. Your integrity will find a way around the challenges. When I painted, I lost track of time or whether or not I had eaten for the day, and I forgot about the discomfort that tormented me since my concentration was totally on what I enjoyed doing.
My advice to you is to not allow anyone or anything fool you into believing you will be lost without them. Yes, you will need time to grieve, but this does not imply you will be lost forever. You may be homeless and have nothing, but do not be afraid. Instead, devote all of your energy to solving issues and doing what you enjoy, and tranquility will come to you. Because peace is actually love, and love is truly peace. Peace has always triumphed over worry and sadness. When you experience tranquility, you do not feel any unpleasant feelings, do you? But peace won't just "happen." It does not arise as a result of pleasant conditions, because it may also provide consolation during difficult times. Throw yourself wholeheartedly into loving anything totally, whether it's your spiritual life, a loved one, a pet, or learning to love yourself, and reject beliefs that tell you you're less than others or that there's no hope. There are no permanent situations; everything can change suddenly. Tell yourself the truth: I have nothing to fear as long as I have something to love and to share. Hard times will come and go. You are the constant. Create for yourself a better tomorrow; do not wait on anybody to make it better for you.
With Love,
Frida
