got this from a book, I forgot its title =/... But anyway, here are the steps... =D
1. Forgive
In order to have a peaceful life, we've got to receive and grant forgiveness.
Matthew 6:12 "Forgive us the wrongs we have done, as we forgive the wrongs that others have done to us."
2. Live a peaceable life
Titus 3:1,2
"1 Remind your people to submit to rulers and authorities, to obey them, and to be ready to do good in every way. 2 Tell them not to speak evil of anyone, but be peaceful and friendly, and always to show a gentle attitude toward everyone."
3. Be Humble
Philippians 2:3
"Don't do anything from selfish ambition or from a cheap desire to boast, but be humble toward one another, always considering others better than yourselves."
4. Avoid Jealousy and Envy
Galatians 5:19-21
"19 What human nature does is quite plain. It shows itself in immoral, filthy, and indecent actions; 20 in worship of idols and witchcraft. People become enemies and they fight; they become jealous, angry, and ambitious. They separate into parties and groups; 21 they are envious... I warn you now as I have before: those who do these things will not possess the Kingdom of God."
5. Don't covet
Exodus 20:17
"Do not desire another man's house; do not desire his wife, his slaves, his cattle, his donkeys, or anything that he owns."
6. Simplify
Live a simple life.
7. Be contented
Contentment is not having what you like but liking what you have.
1 Timothy 6:6
"Well, religion does make us very rich, if we are satisified with what we have."
Hebrews 13:5
"Keep your lives free from love of money, and be satisfied with what you have. For God said, "I will never leave you; I will never abandon you."
8. Trust God
Why worry when you can pray?
Proverbs 16: 20
"... Trust in the Lord and you will be happy."
9. Think Big
1 Corinthians 2:9
"However, as the scripture says, 'What no one ever saw or heard, what no one ever thought could happen, is the very thing God prepared for those who love him.'"
10. Put God first
Deuteronomy 6:5
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength." 1
John2:15
"Do not love the world or anything that belongs to the world. If you love the world, you do not love the Father."
