In life we go through many ups and downs and as human beings we are bound to make many mistakes. However, there comes a time when we must pay close attention to the life that we are living. Of course when one's life is filled with strife and choas there is need for adjustment (harmony). But even if one's life is not filled with strife and choas there is always a need for adjustment. Harmony is the objective regardless if we face difficulties or not. I say there's always room for more harmony in one's life! Moreover, the diligent undertaking of making an adjustment in one's life is not always an easy task to accept or complete.
As humans beings when we face criticsim in life, it is sometimes a hard pill for us to swollow. Especially when that criticsim cuts us at our very core. We have trouble in "facing the music," or "looking at ourselves in the mirror," when are faults have been exposed. When we do decide to deal with the details of a particular shortcoming; please note that it may bring us to a very uncomfrontable place in the matter. However, that is the begining of the process towards adjustment (harmony) for us. One should embrace the idea of having to be thorough because it allows us to master that in which has caused us pain and moves us towards perfect harmony in our lives.
In the spiritual realm we have "perfect (thorough) peace," in our Heavenly Father. Because He is the Author of Life who loves us deeply, He gives us His "perfect peace" (Ps 46:10, 119:64). God's peace is thorough in that it is sufficent for our every need. We allow God's harmony to enter into our lives when we "face the music," that He is the very detail that we must pay strict attention to at all times. Church folk say it like this "I gotta keep my mind stayed on the Lord at all times..." (Is 26:2-4). We must never forget why the Lord Jah(God) sent us His Son Yeshua (PBUH) as a reminder of His glory, in that he Isa (PBUH) is the "Prince of Peace" over this world no matter what Shatan offers us. Which reminds us as followers of The Almighty God to be always be at "perfect (thorough) peace" in Him and keep watch for His return. (Is 13:9)
In closing, Yah (God) continues to show us His "perfect peace" in many ways everyday in spite of our shortcomings, He offers us His perfect haramony everyday and when we accept His complete harmony into our lives, we begin to master the life that He has given us on this earth. So our shortcomings become things of the past (1 Cor 13:9-12) and we turn face to face to Him, which in turn sets up for the life in heaven above that He has promised us.

Scriptural refrences:
Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! -Ps 46:10 NKJV
The earth is filled with your love, O LORD; teach me your decrees [a formal and authoritative order, esp. one having the force of law: one of the eternal purposes of God, by which events are foreordained (predestine)]. -Ps 119:64 NIV
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. -Is 9:5 KJ21
See, the day of the LORD is coming—a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger—to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it. -Is 13:9 NIV
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever, for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength. -Is 26: 2-4 KJ21
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; but then shall I know, even as also I am known. -1 Corinthians 13:9-12 KJ21
For our knowledge is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect), and our prophecy (our teaching) is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect). But when the complete and perfect (total) comes, the incomplete and imperfect will vanish away (become antiquated, void, and superseded). When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; now that I have become a man, I am done with childish ways and have put them aside. For now we are looking in a mirror that gives only a dim (blurred) reflection [of reality as [a]in a riddle or enigma], but then [when perfection comes] we shall see in reality and face to face! Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand [b]fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been [c]fully and clearly known and understood [[d]by God]. -1 Corinthians 13:9-12 AMP
Finally, brothers, good-by. Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you. -2 Corinthians 13:11 NIV
And this is the path of your Lord, (a) right (path); indeed We have made the communications clear for a people who mind. They shall have the abode of peace with their Lord, and He is their guardian because of what they did. -Holy Quran 6:126-127
And if they incline to peace, then incline to it and trust in Allah; surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing. -Holy Quran 8:69
And Allah invites to the abode of peace and guides whom He pleases into the right path. -Holy Quran 10:25
O you who believe! turn to Allah a sincere turning; maybe your Lord will remove from you your evil and cause you to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, on the day on which Allah will not abase the Prophet and those who believe with him; their light shall run on before them and on their right hands; they shall say: Our Lord! make perfect for us our light, and grant us protection, surely Thou hast power over all things. -Holy Quran 66:8
