We often talk about how essential peace of mind is for a human being; let’s explore how true that really is.

Do you know the primary reason why peace of mind becomes so scarce? It is the tendency to compare ourselves with others—a process that often happens without us even realizing it.

We compare everything: someone else’s lifestyle, their possessions, or even how much happier they might appear compared to us.

For instance, consider two friends who start their careers at the same time; if one receives a promotion and enjoys various perks while the other does not, the latter may end up losing their own sense of happiness by making such comparisons.

Furthermore, social media has become a major thief of our peace of mind—seeing videos of people who seem to have everything can leave us feeling discouraged because we lack those same things.

When we constantly compare ourselves to others, we fail to appreciate the resources, comforts, and wisdom we already possess. Take the founder of KFC, for example—he achieved success only after reaching retirement age; however, that doesn’t mean it will take the same amount of time for everyone else.

The lesson here is that we must never stop trying. We should identify our own strengths, steer our lives in that direction, and strive for success. We must not fall into the trap of feeling disheartened by focusing on what others have that we do not.

A palm tree may take many years to grow, but just because a tomato plant grows much faster, it doesn’t mean they hold the same value, does it? We must have faith that we will eventually reach our destination, even if it takes a little longer; only then can we find peace of mind.

Peace of mind resides within us, and it depends on our way of thinking—which is why one's mindset is so important.

Since today was a holiday, I dedicated the entire day to complete rest. In the evening, I went out for a short walk, returned home, had a meal, and then drifted off to sleep again.
