(Life getting to be to much?)

Sometimes life can beat the best person down to the ground.

When I was a very young man my mind and concerns were spread all around.

I always had my nose in my families problems to far.

They would be the one's in trouble but would tell me to mind my business and get in my car.

No appreciation whatsoever.

Start making me wonder if I shouldn't have mind my own endeavors.

After years of getting my feelings hurt real bad.

I just backed off and learn to take care of my own living pad.

Man, did my peace of mind increase.

Now I just have more inner peace.

I would also look out in the world arena and focus on all of the mean negative stuff, man did it put me in a huff, a real sad puff.

Finally I learned my lesson about doing this and just started concentrating on keeping my personal world in good shape for me.

This also increased my happy spree, joy and glee.

When the stress level gets to high,

Tell some of your unnecessary concerns good by.

This doesn't mean that you no longer love and care.

It just means that you are wise and have your priorities clear.

If there was peace in each of our personal relationships, there would be peace in our nations and peace between our nations, but alas, we, our nations and our world are human, and were you have humans you have great potential for trouble. Nice write, glad you have found your inner and outer peace.

I love the title! Reminds of a song the woman sings in the movie Paint Your Wagon. Eventually, everybody has to deal with self, and your words, Grady, help me along. Thank you. -Bear

I've learnt that we are our own persons, and it is us who has to make ourselves happy first in order to receive happiness from given to us from others. It is what we can do to ourselves that can give us inner peace.

Good write Grady! Your writings are very thought-provoking.
