How Can We Find Serenity amidst Life’s ‘Would’ Questions?
A quick question for myself and my readers: What would you like to change about the past? What is your plan for the future, and what do you want out of life? These questions converged upon me at the dawn of a new day, prompting me to contemplate the type of legacy I plan to leave for the next generation. Will the current life I live help me achieve my goals? Am I even on the right path in life?
People I call friends or family will they be there for me when I give up on myself? would I remain the smiling lady when things do not go my way? Would I be able to help those who turned me down in my downtime?
Would I be able to fight for those who don’t even know me but cursed me in the day and night time? Would I be able to show up for those who took my clothes off me? Would this life still mean the world to me when a thing goes bad? Would I still be the same girl who goes easy on life even when life does not?
I ask myself, Would I not give up on the dream I envisioned to become when things get difficult? Would I be able to overcome all the battles I know nothing about?
Several “would” questions continued flowing in as I stayed awake to see the break of a new day, my face marked with smiles and tears.
I began to question the questioning spirit within me. In the middle of the night, it whispered to me, “You are more than a conqueror. You have flaws that make you perfect. You have your smile, which makes the enemies mad, you still have your Creator who never sleeps because of you, you have your family even when you show them the other part of you, they shift but still love you a gap in between. I got so mad at everything but would never show anyone because I believed everyone has their pain and I decided to pen down mine and all pains are gone.
Are you still confused about what this write-up is all about? Well let me help you, it is called finding your inner peace.
I found mine today and I say to myself, it is okay to cry, it is not a sign of weakness but of authority because the heavens see every drop.
What Does It Mean to Find Inner Peace??
First off, what does inner peace mean? Inner peace is when everything around you becomes still, and you do not find fault even in things that fault you. You become one body, one mind, and one soul, a new and unstoppable being. You fear nothing, but everything fears you. You become the best version of yourself and the role model you set for yourself. Then, many will want to challenge you, but you stand strong, even without anyone to help you shine. Inner peace is the joy for every human being to attain, and I say to you today, the grace to attain that inner peace is released upon everyone reading this. Believe it or leave it; you are welcome to the land of inner peace.
To answer some of the questions about what I would like to change about my past, nothing at all because my past is gone, and I have nothing to do with my past self; all lessons are well learned. To my future self, there is still time to make a great change because the sky is just the starting point. My current self leaves the caliber of people saying life is unfair, but I join those who say, “I am unfair to life” because now I have peace and no fear of the future weighing me down anymore.
I can’t see myself stopping writing anytime soon because a new dimension of writing has been opened to me. I would love to use this medium and my writing skills to help every one of you, including myself, to have a stand in the land of peace. Are you ready?
How can you attain inner peace?
Yes, I mentioned I attained inner peace, right? How was I able to get there? Well, I would say inner peace found me with the solution at hand to help everyone out there: CLEF.
- Come to terms with your past: Most of us have issues with this. I was like that too. I had a lot I wanted to change, from my parents down to the environment I lived in, and the level of knowledge I was exposed to. Then, I realized that all of these were pre-planned, and nothing could change it. You are where you were because the universe kept you there at that time. So, find that kid in you and tell him or her, “I forgive you, and please forgive me.”
- Love Yourself: You are the first person in your life, so if you do not love yourself, how do you expect others to love you? You don’t give what you do not have. I say to my significant other, “No matter what, you are the first on this ship because if not for you, I wouldn’t be on this ship. So, no matter what, love yourself dearly.”
- Embrace Positive Affirmations: Use positive affirmations to rewire your thought patterns. By regularly affirming positive beliefs about yourself and your life, you can boost self-esteem and create a more peaceful inner environment.
- Forget the Future, Live in the Present: Don’t get me wrong; I’m not saying to forget about your future. I’m saying, let the future stay in the future and live in the current day in peace. By doing this, you’ll ensure the future comes in peace. I used to have a fear of the future, thinking about how it would look like and what would become of me. This fear affected my day-to-day activities and even made me skeptical of people who wanted to help me. However, I decided to pray and release my fears. Now, my future is bright, and I live my life in the present with no fear because fear is not my portion.
What would you like to take home today than inner peace, I am grateful you found your peace today, and if you are yet, believe it you have peace in you. Don’t live your life in regret, tomorrow isn’t promised, so live today in joy and happiness. You get this.
Thanks for reading today’s write-up with me and I remain your humble writer your medium frendz 🥰🥰🥰. Happy new month.
