Peaceful people know that life is unpredictable and constantly shifting. So, they anticipate good times as well as difficult times flowing with life's changes and challenges. Buddhist meditation teacher and author Toni Bernhard explains: "Waking up to the realities of the human condition is crucial so that we know what to expect in life.
