How to Protect Your Peace in a Turbulent World
“My peace is very precious. It is my most precious thing, and it is the thing which I guard with the most energy… You’ve got to have personal boundaries, and you can’t let people cross those boundaries. If someone refuses to respect those boundaries, they’re put out. You’ve got to set personal boundaries, and you can’t let people cross those boundaries… If you look for your peace outside of yourself, you won’t find it. You create it. You create your own peace by removing turmoil.” — Dry Creek Wrangler School
Description
In this reflection, Dwayne from Dry Creek Wrangler School discusses the importance of valuing and protecting one’s inner peace in a world full of noise, conflict, and endless drama. He emphasizes that true peace must be created and maintained by setting clear personal boundaries, refusing to let others disturb your calm, and staying out of situations that don’t concern you. Rather than seeking peace from external circumstances—which are often chaotic and beyond our control—he urges us to take responsibility for our own sense of calm by removing unnecessary conflict and guarding our mental and emotional space.
