I really became
aware of this recently and I love it although sometimes it scares me because
when all is calm, I sometimes fear it would soon get ruffled and I am anxious
and defensive.
I also
noticed a few more people in the universe are becoming aware of this as well; I
told myself a few times that I wanted to write down things I was learning about
peace but I kept stalling and then one day I go trolling on Instagram and boom,
about 1 million (I exaggerate) people had something to say about Peace. Once
again, I was reminded that The Source doesn’t drop ideas into the heart of only
one person per time. And that we truly attract what we focus on. So rather than
get upset and lose my peace, I embrace and enjoy the knowledge shared.
I am
going through a transition; it has been a roller coaster ride of emotions and I
feel so unsettled but I am learning to find peace in all the chaos. It is not
the easiest thing because panic and anxiety are the default setting but I
realised that when I can finally settle and breathe I can focus on the hope
that is lurking; and then I find the strength to continue.
I have
experienced and decided that in peace, I am able; I have an ability to function,
to control my wandering emotions and thoughts in order to make progress.
And I
stand now with the truth that this Peace that is beautiful and so empowering,
is not an external force I have to toil for but it already resides inside of me;
I just needed enough challenges to reveal what is truly important; frequent feelings
of being overwhelmed and the realisation that my solutions will not be
presented to me by other humans and physical possessions.
For all of
life’s unpleasantness and the battles on their way, at the end of each one, Peace
will be one of my rewards!
Anxiety(in my thoughts) is really a default setting for me too. Am learning to settle down my imaginative mind, after all the solution has never been in the many possible negative outcomes of a situation.
