Certainly, the more we see and accept our mistakes with gratitude, the more consistent we heal and come to know ourselves as peace. (Reference <a href=\"https:\/\/awakening-together.org\/dev2\/day-214-tip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Day 214<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, after recommending that we rejoice when we find ourselves upset, NTI 1 Thessalonians also recommends rejoicing whenever we are not upset. It says:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Rejoice in each moment that peace is known within your heart. Do not judge from whence the peace has come or whether it is for the \u201cright\u201d or the \u201cwrong\u201d reason. Celebrate its glory regardless of the reason, and be glad.<\/p>\n<p>Could it be that we have a habit of not being happy\u2014a habit of constantly judging our self, others and circumstances in the world\u2014and that the habit of not being happy <em>is \u00a0<\/em>the obstacle to knowing the Self?<\/p>\n<p>Yep, that\u2019s it. That is the problem. And as Buddha indicated, when you recognize the problem, you also realize the solution.<\/p>\n<p>The way to awaken is to <em>be your Self now<\/em>. In other words:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Make a commitment to peace.<br \/>\nMake a commitment to happiness.<br \/>\nMake a commitment to gratitude.<br \/>\nMake a commitment to acceptance.<br \/>\nMake a commitment to love.<\/p>\n<p>Choose any of the five options above, whichever one you feel you can genuinely commit to now, and then choose to <em>live that commitment unconditionally<\/em>, and you will find your Self, because you have committed to your Self.<\/p>\n<p>Note: I recommend printing this tip for repeated reference.<\/p>\n<p>Note: The next tip will be available tomorrow morning after 3:50am ET at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/awakening-together.org\/dev2\/day-219-tip\"><em>this link<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NTI 1 Thessalonians 3 opens by saying: Lack of peace in any measure is an opportunity to be healed.
