A battle for peace…

Peace of mind is said to be our utmost priority in life. Peace is being happy, contented, and freed from everything that gives one disturbance or tranquility.

When I often think about my life, I feel I have not done enough, wanting more and more, the life I want to live. All of these are part of what truly battles our inner peace. We have to find ways to sort out all of these to have a peaceful existence.

Being rich or poor is a choice. Though some say it’s entangled with our fate which is right. But what if one is fated to be rich and never takes a step forward toward becoming one? So having it unknown to us is just the reason why we all have to keep working all day out.

If I were to know that I would become a rich man in a matter of years, I bet I wouldn’t even take a step out to work or even hustle in any form that would stress me. What I will do might be to sit, manage to live on for the few times left, and anticipate as the year keeps drawing closer.

Where do I find peace ✌?

I find peace in myself. The belief I work with. I find peace in my abilities. I have the mindset and believe that I am not entitled to anyone’s help, I try to live so independently and have people rely more on me instead of the reverse. This has been my way for the time being and has become something I realized to be my inner strength.

There are times when things just turn out upside down, having the unexpected happens, when the table turns, when plans have to change, when the reality checks in, and when life begins to feel so sudden. All of these changes with time are sometimes a hindrance to my peace of mind. And the only way to seek peace is to proffer solutions to it.

I believe in God and in everything I do, I find my path as the one I have given divine intervention into. When I am about to start something I put prayers first, then work alongside the faith and believe that it would be fine.

Rules guiding my existence.

Some of the rules I can say are guiding or have been guiding my existence is putting myself first. To some, it might define selfishness or stinginess. But the fun fact is if you don't care for yourself, all you have been caring about, all the people you have been fighting for, they will surely live and do fine in your absence.

Why not keep yourself in check first, then don't forget to extend your love and care to others? In this life, we tend to live once

I also keep myself reserved by not following the crowd, he who has found his path and recognized it will never be lost in their journey. But most times when people decide to work or live their lives based on other people’s timing. I can say such people will surely have a hard time living the life they want with peace.

Avoiding unnecessary discussions and arguments. When you decide to make silence your watchword then you will realize how much peace of mind you will get. Most forms of troubles and problems erupt from not knowing when to utter words and what to utter.

Our utterances are like a two side sharp-edged sword that if not carefully wielded might cause a great and unending scar on the person.

Peace is so important in our existence and I would advise we wage war against any form of interference towards it. The battle for peace remains endless until one rests in peace…
