You've learned your lesson when keeping Peace is more important to you than needing to be right. When provoked by Ego (who feels threatened by your present state of Peace), remind yourself to stay awake! When you're not paying attention, Ego will sneak up and attack you out of no where - ever said to yourself "now where did that thought come from?!?"
The reason for every "test" in life is to teach you a lesson. ALL of what is needed to pass each test is given by the Holy Spirit (Patience, Knowledge, Understanding, Love, Silence, etc.) of which Ego knows nothing about and wants nothing to do with. Ego knows it is non existent in their presence which explains why it needs to keep you from them.
Do not allow Ego to confuse you with what doesn't matter in the end. You have the Power of God in you which will sustain you through any/every "test" presented to you. Remind yourself that God is the ultimate decision maker and for that fact alone, there is never a reason to lose control by losing Peace. Put your life (with all your stuff) in His hands and KNOW you couldn't have made a better decision.
Stay in the present moment and live your life in gratitude for being released from all your stuff. See them for what they are (not what you hoped for them to be) and the Holy Spirit will show you they mean nothing. "Be in the world, not of the world" means because nothing in the world lasts forever, do not invest much time in what is meaningless in the end. Choose rather to be led by the Holy Spirit and you will be amazed at how the Power of God works at every moment, in your breathing and everyday, in your life! Peace
