For The Sake Of Your Peace Of Mind
Most times, the true value and worth of peace is known only when there is lack of it. If you have never experienced lack of peace, you may not know what having peace is. The most important peace that should be guarded is the peace of mind. There are things that you may want to do and you realize that those things will ultimately hurt you peace, then for peace sake, you can let such things to go.
The world has been advocating for peace - living peaceably with others, peaceful coexistence with your neighbours and all whatnot. However, the peace that is interpersonal (that is one person to another) is practically impossible without the peace within (intrapersonal). It is your inner peace that you will amplify to the world. So if you lack inner peace, there will be nothing to share to the world. Obviously, no one can pour water from an empty drum.
The truth is, when you do bad, you will know. Similarly, when you do good, you will also know. That is the reason consciences exist. The actions that will crack up your peace should be avoided at all cost. Once you want to do something and your conscience kicks against it, there is no need contending with your conscience, it only shows that the action is not worth taking.
There are places that, when you go there, you will find yourself doing what is harmful to your peace. You need to avoid such place. More so, the company you keep that is not helping build up your inner peace is already cracking it, so be cautious about the kind of friends you hang out with and of course, the kind of friend you are.
Understand that everyone's opinion and their ideas are their absolute prerogative. They have the right to create their own ideas and to form their own opinion, so do not force your own opinions on them. In the bid to force an opinion or idea on someone, chaos may be unleashed and peace my be hampered. It is far better if the problem is prevented at the initial or early stage than stopping it when it becomes fully blown.
When you realize that people can welcome your idea without supporting it and you can welcome other people's own without agree to it, then you will not have any problem maintaining your peace. The honest truth is that if you want to enjoy peace (both within you and around you), you have to resolve within yourself to follow peace with others. It is only what people treasure very well that they guard. If peace is precious to you, then you have to guard it like a treasure.
You have to learn how to let things that hurt your peace to go. Things will come and go, people will come and go, but if your internal peace is wrecked, it may have a long-term effect on you. Some of the effects of peace of mind are worries, anxiety, which when they grow, may lead to depression. When you know all these, you will not sacrifice your peace of mind for unworthy things.
Thanks for reading
Excellent, that peace you speak of is completely achievable, and you just work for it, I liked your perspective.
Yes, it is achievable but we have to put work towards it. Thanks buddy
hello @samminator, Good article...Inner peace is very important, as it allows us to be in balance both as a person , and with everything around us.... No one can be in harmony with others if they are not at peace with themselves. Any person who has inner peace projects positivism and that is of great value.
That's right. For someone to be at peace with others, he must first find peace within himself. Thanks a lot buddy for the kind comment
Wow it is an endless struggle to try to achieve personal peace, always the external factors are there to break it, as much as you can have it there will always be that something that will seek to balance, but I am also aware that you are the only one who can achieve that peace without anything or anyone affecting it.
You're right, the quest for personal peace has been age-long but it is not impossible. Thanks a lot for coming around buddy
Very important friend, you can not live in peace with other people if you are not at peace with yourself, it is necessary to learn to be at peace and have a clear conscience to have a better vision of the world around us.
Very well said, you need peace of kind and a good conscience to have a clearer view of the world. Thanks a lot buddy
For many years I have used what is called in psychology "place of comfort" is a place of peace where only I am, and it has worked for me, life is becoming more and more overwhelming with only world problems, but we must seek that place of refuge to control.
thanks for the post
Excellent comment. I like what you said about "place of comfort". Thanks a lot buddy
In every situations we find ourselves we should not let go of the peace of mind we have. Always remember if you did not have peace of mind your life will be full of worries and anxiety.
That's the truth, peace of mind is what is needed to drive off anxiety and worries. Thanks buddy
Most often we hang around the wrong people even when we know very well how much they are hurting our peace, it might be a difficult thing to do but it is best to always let go of toxic relationships that cost us our peace irrespective of how difficult it is.
That's right. For the sake of our peace, we need to stay away from toxic relationships. Thanks buddy
Wow, such a nice post I must admit. I really enjoyed reading this post and with what you have hinted I can see that even though you cherish something you should first of all considered your peace of mind, if that wish you love will cost you your peace of mind is better you let go. Nice post.
Exactly, our peace of mind should not be sacrificed for the things we wish for. Thanks buddy
