We spend our entire lives being told that we need to do more to be more or someone.
From our childhood, we are conditioned to believe that we will be valued based on our salary, our job title, or our social standing.
But what if what has been told or made believe to us is all wrong?
Maybe the secret to finding peace within isn’t all these earthly accolades and materials in your life, but believing, “You are alive, and that’s enough.” ”.
Your existence in the present time and space is already the “final prize”.
The Power Of Finding Peace Within
It’s all inside you. You were born with it, all within.
True contentment doesn’t come from a life without problems or achieving name, fame, and all the earthly pomp.
The sheer beauty of life is in the living.
Start with a thought that you can re-read every day, telling yourself, a realization of sorts, that no matter what life gives, you have already won the most important race, the race to exist.
Your birth was not a fluke, a chance, or a mistake.
Nature and time planned that you exist in this era.
4.5 billion years since the inception of nature, you were already recorded to be born in this era.
Now you must be special.
When you trick your thoughts or philosophise the spirit inside you, the pressure to “become someone” fades away.
You already are someone.
You are the universe experiencing itself.
Finding peace within is as important as finding success in life.
There is no escaping the need for hard work to achieve success, but the art, or the message, for a breathing body with a heart and soul that feels the hurts and joys of life, is to be prepared first to find peace within.
We live in times when peace is transactional or tied to a state of “when-then.”
When I get that promotion, then I’ll be happy.
When I lose those ten pounds, then will I call myself a winner.
We are constantly chasing a future version of ourselves that doesn’t exist yet, ignoring the ‘me, myself’ who is breathing and living right now.
This cycle is the wall to internal calm and peace.
Finding peace within cannot be reached when your worth is tied to a moving goalpost.
You will always remain unsettled deep within.
Self-development is important; a part of us has to improve each passing day, but the seed is first to appreciate the miracle of being alive today.
Google says approximately 5,000 babies are stillborn (born dead) every day worldwide, while another 6,500 to 7,000 newborns die within their first 24 hours.
As you read this article, you have survived, and not one among the above number.
You are alive.
Say 3 Cheers to life.
Survival is success.
The ways of life are mysterious.
There will be days when you achieve great things, and there will be days of failures and when you just survive the day, achieving nothing.
The sunrise does not depend on the past day’s work. It just rises.
In the harder days, your breathing was the same, your heartbeat was the winner.
The world demands excellence, but nature only demands presence.
For the flower, its achievement was in its blooming.
Nature has kept it simple; it’s only we humans with our super intelligence who have made it so complicated.
Finding peace within is believing that existence itself is a triumph.
The world, obsessed with constant productivity and achievement, can wait. Let me listen to my breath in and out first with closed eyes.
Isn’t my breathing a part of the same nature that breathes from its very birth for a billion years before?
So I’m older than my current age.
They say it’s not over till it’s over. So till I live, let me just cherish it all.
A lot of faith teaches us that life is eternal, and our earthly living is just a journey. It seems so true. We just change our form and shapes; we were part of the earliest creation, a part of nature.
Finding Peace Within With The Truth
Go achieve your goals and success; nobody or anything should be a hindrance.
Life is once. Just don’t get exhausted with the trials and troubles of life.
In the cycle of constant chasing, there will be goals reached, or it might be all zero in the end. The trying is your deed.
In all the running, find your space of rest to speak to yourself, to listen to your breath.
Telling yourself, I’m alive and kicking, so be it, nothing else matters.
My life is not a trophy room or a shelf; it’s an experience.
The truth is my being alive. A rare and precious occurrence.
Even when all my titles are stripped away, and my bank account is just enough for survival, and nothing much is happening in my social media profiles, the raw me is still a reality. I still have an identity.
Even if nobody recognises my existence, nature still embraces me.
Why does anybody else matter?
You were born worthy.
Every breath you take is a quiet rebellion against a world that tries to tell you that you aren’t doing enough.
Don’t stop your growing or dreaming, but let not your happiness be tied to worldly expectations.
Your freedom is in knowing that you are alive and an important part of the very existence of nature in this time and space.
Final Go…
Life is not forever, but still it’s beautiful.
It won’t be perfect, but I live it.
Your heart beating is speaking to you; listen to its voice.
Life says ‘hi’ to you every day.
You are a living, breathing part of this universe, and isn’t that a miracle?
Finding peace within is knowing that you are alive, and for today, that is enough.
Love life…
