We make our own peace with our life.
No one can do that for us.

We come to terms with our own 
responsibility for our responses
to the way things are,
knowing that how we respond
to what happens
can make things better
or make things worse,
and that our response-ability
is the key for things being
as good as they are capable of being
our entire life long.

And, "Okay. Now what?
is always appropriate
to every occasion,
voiding, as it does,
our tendency to be emotionally reactive
and mood-bound,
thereby deaf and blind 
to what our options
and opportunities are
in all circumstances
that come our way.

Our twin powers,
perspective and perception,
are superior to the Elder Wand,
in that even the Elder Wand
would be at the mercy
of our perspective and perception
(With perception being what we see
and perspective being how we see
when we look at everything).

Until we get perspective and perception
under control,
we are at the mercy of everything
that happens
over the full course of our life.
And nobody can do that for us.
It is all up to us,
how we see what's what
and what we do in response.
