Until you make peace with who you are, you’ll never be content with what you have. ~Doris Mortman Marketers call us consumers. Ads suggest that a new car will make us happy or that when we buy our special loved one a beautiful diamond, we will really be somebody. But our awakening into a healthy, new life has nothing to do with what we own. Sure, it's fun to buy something new, but it doesn't make us happy for long. We don't define ourselves as mere consumers; rather, we are men with meaning in our lives. When we haven't got ourselves on track, when we don't have a focus for our lives, we are easily seduced by distractions and dead-end promises. Peace of mind hasn't come easily for most of us. We had to accept some things about ourselves that we didn't want to accept. We had to learn some lessons that we couldn't easily learn at first. Now we feel like real men. We have something much better than anything we could buy with money, and no one else can take it away. Today and every day, I restore my peace of mind by making peace with myself. Today's reading is from the book Stepping Stones: More Daily Meditations for Men*
