Finally, I complete my daily ritual with the prayer of Jabez.<\/p>\n<p>Meditation is helping me to elevate and control my destiny. I use to try to monitor every situation, and what I have learned, it is best to handle each situation as calmly as possible with a clear mind. I use to allow my emotions to get the best of me and my actions were not always the best.<\/p>\n<p>Next, I started creating a daily habit (a thankful prayer, meditation, followed by the prayer of Jabez) that will allow me to get through day to day challenges without letting anything get the best of me. I must say this task is very challenging. After some months of practicing, I must say that I have come a long way. This feeling makes me so happy and keeps me calm. Now, this may not be for everyone, but I suggest if you are trying to find or maintain your peace, you need to create a daily routine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last day in Nice before my flight to Venice, I went to the beach to meditate, pray and relax.
