Sean Whalen’s Journey: From Conflict to Commensality with His Ex-Wife and Her Husband

PEACE is a choice.

It’s YOUR choice.

Not THEIR choice.

“Yea but he does…”
“Yea but she does…”

What your ex does is IRRELEVANT.

YOU CHOOSE how and what you say.
YOU CHOOSE how and what you do.

Even when they are trying to fight with you.

ESPECIALLY when they are trying to fight with you.

CHOOSE to create PEACE by LIVING PEACEFULLY.

Well said, Sean. That’s a life lesson we can all glean some lasting wisdom from.

“Seek peace and pursue it.” ~ Psalm 34:14

Choosing Peace Over Conflict

Sean’s story underscores a vital lesson: the power of choice in the aftermath of divorce. By choosing to engage peacefully and focusing on the well-being of their children, both Sean and his ex-wife could transcend their past conflicts. This approach not only healed old wounds but also fostered a supportive environment for their children to grow.

This narrative serves as a profound reminder that even in situations fraught with anger and hurt, there is a possibility for redemption and harmony. By actively choosing peace and working towards reconciliation, individuals can move beyond the painful chapters of their lives. As Sean poignantly puts it, the actions of your ex are irrelevant in the grand scheme; what truly matters is how you choose to respond and the peaceful life you decide to create for yourself and your loved ones.

As we reflect on Sean’s journey and the biblical wisdom to “seek peace and pursue it” (Psalm 34:14), let us all remember that in the face of adversity, peace is not just a distant hope, but a tangible choice.
