Developing a sustaining sense of serenity requires time. Time to do the things we need to do without rushing. Time for meditation. Time for just being with ourselves and moving quietly from one task to another. In this way, we develop a deep core of serenity, which sustains us in times of stress and strain. The next time you feel yourself getting upset, stop and connect with the core of serenity within you.

Savor the peace and stillness you felt during quieter times. Remember that a Higher Power is in charge of your life. Consider the damage you may do to yourself and others by giving vent to your distress. Then test how it would feel to let go of the agitation and replace it with the serenity you have deep within you. Take a few moments now to sit quietly and connect with your abiding sense of serenity. Be at peace.

In today's quiet times, I will create a core of serenity to draw from in the future.
