There is a kind of peace that we have in a place where we are unchallenged, but that is a false kind of peace.

This kind peace once challenged is destroyed like a pack of weak cards left alone.

And this is the kind of peace that most of us have had; once our perceptions, creeds, and dogmas are challenged, when that which is familiar to us is challenged that peace vanishes.

But there is another kind of peace that comes from embracing challenges, evolving, and daring to be more. 

There is a peace that comes from not being comfortable with the present standard, knowing that we can be better as a people, in attitude and character.

This kind of peace is not threatened by storms, it embraces corrections, it gains strength in learning, and multiplies in the midst of adversity.

Do you have this kind of peace?
