Peace of mind is the most sought after 'commodity' in human life. It appears that most of us are in a state of perpetual restlessness. Below are some tips to attain some peace of mind.
1. Do not interfere in others' business
Most of us create our own problems by interfering too often in others' affairs. We do so because somehow we have convinced ourselves that our way is the best way, our logic is the perfect logic, and those who do not conform to our thinking must be criticized and steered to the right direction, our direction.
This kind of attitude on our part denies the existence of individuality. No two human beings can think or act in exactly the same way. All men or women act the way they do because they are prompted to do so by the Divine within them. Why are you bothered? Mind your own business and you will have your peace.

2. Forget and forgive
This is the most powerful aid to peace of mind. We often nurture ill feeling inside our heart for the person who insults or harms us. We forget that the insult or injury was done to us once but by nourishing the grievance we go on excavating the wound forever. Therefore it is essential that we cultivate the art of forgiving and forgetting. Life is too short to waste in such trifles. Forget, forgive, and march on.
3. Do not crave for recognition
This world has its big share of selfish people. They seldom praise anybody without selfish motive. They may praise you today because you are rich and have power but no sooner you are powerless, they will forget your achievement and start criticizing you.
Moreover, no one is perfect. Then why do you value the words of praise of another mortal like you? Why do you crave for recognition? Believe in yourself. People's praises do not last long. Try doing your duties ethically and sincerely, and that will bring you peace of mind.
