The way to contentment and peace

In life we may not have or get everything .But when we do not have or get that which we desire or expect it could give us pain. The intensity of pain depends upon the intensity of desire or expectation. So it is our own desires or expectations which give us pain or dissatisfaction.

If we want to lead a contented and peaceful life we could follow these depending on the situation:
1. Either we become passive observers to the events of life.
2. Train your mind to get rid of desires or expectations
3. If your desire is material and if it is righteous and benefits not only you but also
Others, use your will to put your efforts to follow your dreams
4. If we desire for abstract things and you are not lucky enough to get that which you desire then you try to be or give that which you desire instead of expecting to receive it, because being that could give you joy and keep you at peace.
