This was a question asked me recently while I was on a trip to Cancun.  A woman asked: “How can I find peace? I read about rapes, murders, war, burglaries, gas shortages, and all the crooked deals in high places.”  My answer to her was that changed attitudes – change everything. I pointed out to her that single-handedly she could not change the world or prevent social upheavals, crime and man’s inhumanity to man, but she could tune in with the Infinite Presence frequently and affirm:

“God‘s peace fills my soul. The light of God shines in me. I think, speak and act from the Divine Center within me.”

This, I added, is the one sure method to find peace in this changing world. There is no law that compels you to hate, resent or fear simply because of what politicians, circumstances or newspapers suggest. You can affirm:

“God thinks, speaks and acts through me.”

Remember a simple truth of life: No man, circumstance, condition, written word or television or radio broadcast takes your peace; you give it away by surrendering your own control over your thoughts, words, deeds and reactions. You are the boss; you are in charge of your own thoughts.
