Life will never be perfect. Peace comes and goes. However, your inner peace is entirely up to you. Anyone can be mad at others and even the world for countless reasons. Focusing on protecting your inner peace is essential to living a fulfilling and peaceful life.
Everything that happens around the world cannot be controlled by everyone. An individual only has so much control in their own life. People affect others in direct and indirect ways. It’s often confusing or frustrating when something outside of our control often influences how we feel and move throughout the day.
Your Peace is Yours Only
Nobody can bring you peace. Nobody can replicate peace. Nobody can create peace for you.
At the end of the day, there’s only one person who knows what peace looks like to you. It isn’t your best friend, significant other, or your favorite grandparent. They might be able to help you get closer to that much needed peace. However, you are the only one who knows exactly what peace looks, feels, and sounds like in your own world.
Sometimes you have to make difficult changes to get the peace you deserve. At times, life may become unpeaceful on the journey to better understand what peace looks like. Anyone can say they are at peace, but to truly feel peace is a different story. Inner peace is something countless people around the world are constantly chasing.
Your peace is yours only. Nobody can take it away from you unless you let them have that power over you.
Inner Peace: Finding, Losing, and Keeping
Inner peace usually doesn’t stay around forever. It tends to come and go. Like happiness, you can’t buy it or replicate it no matter how hard you try.
Life will never be peaceful at all times. It won’t be unpeaceful forever either. Finding peace is all about cherishing the peaceful moments to the fullest and focusing on reaching a state of inner peace as much as possible.
Everyone can’t be at peace 24/7. Sometimes reality is draining and/or negative. You aren’t a negative or gloomy person by not being upbeat all the time. When someone is at peace, they know the good times won’t last forever and the bad will pass too.
Peace looks different to everyone around the world. However, most sane individuals are constantly looking for peace in the wrong places, people, and experiences. Someone may bring a sense of peace but they aren’t actually a peaceful person. A place that may exude peace may not be as peaceful as initially thought. An experience can also bring peace but then bring along undesirable feelings and emotions when thinking of that particular memory.
Peace forces honesty. By lying to yourself over time, there is no possible way of achieving a fulfilling sense of inner peace.
Find your sense of inner peace and keep it around for as long as possible. It won’t stick around forever.
The Lifelong Journey
Finding inner peace often comes with countless mistakes, endless hours of frustrating or confusing experiences, and numerous lessons learned.
Peace isn’t a destination, but instead a lifelong journey. Inner peace is one of the most important aspects of life. If there is no sense of peace at all, one’s life will be affected negatively and often leading to unfortunate situations. You attract what you believe in and speak about.
Obviously life cannot be peaceful for its entirety. However, cherishing times of peace and expecting more to come helps us deal with the normal stress and regular hardships of this often confusing journey on Earth.
Your peace must be protected and nurtured carefully. Nobody else can protect your peace like you can. Stay hopeful when times are hard and remain humble when everything seems to be going right.
