My level of mental peace has come from my 80 years of living and adjusting, accepting that the world and all its people are not going to alter their views and actions to satisfy the needs of my comfort level. But, in identifying an environment or attitude that disturbs my peace of mind, that I do not want as part of my life, I can, and I have made the inner, mental adjustments in my own attitude that allowed me to refuse access to some of the external negatives around me. Shutting out the causes of unease, either mentally or by physically removing self to another place, strengthens the self confidence that monitors what will be given space in the environment of our lives. Within the limitations of our abilities if we can find and enhance our focus on our natural talents and interests, the resulting achievements will provide the greatest comfort, satisfaction and enjoyment in the moment and in life. Awareness of having reached that level delivers the inate sense of wellbeing and peace that tells you all is right with your world. A simple approach to that point may be the Serenity Prayer that asks God to give us the strength to change what can be changed, to accept what cannot be changed, and begs the wisdom to know the difference between the two.

Mental peace equals serenity.
Serenity comes from being at peace with everyone in your life and effectively dealing with your defects of character. A close relationship with G-d is crucial to being at peace.

If I knew, I'd be rich.
My highest level of mental peace comes from knowing my Christmas shopping is done.
