Finding Your Own Peace? Here's What It Means

in DCooperation3 years ago

We need peace!!!
We need peace!!!

That is what we hear most times in life and in movies but we've never once heard of someone growing the peace within to have an effect on others.
We may all see peace as the absence of war or the presence of tranquility but taking a more deeper thought on what peace is, I came up with these definitions.

Peace Is Having Your Alone Time

People live with people, people interact everyday, people work everyday that most of them forget their own time. They forget to give themselves a break, a time to think things through. Your alone time allows you to cross check your goals if you're still on the right track. Your alone time keeps your mind calm from the stress of work. If you skip your alone time, you tend to get discouraged or too stressed out that you may cause trouble where you could have avoided it.

A lady who works for a strict boss finds it hard to rest at home, she works at the office and also at home. She didn't realize she was becoming like her boss in talking to people rudely because she never stops to think, she's always on the move having no alone time for herself - Having no peace of mind.

Peace Is Avoiding Arguments And Quarrel

You want to have peace? You want to be a peaceful person? Identify and avoid arguments. Yes, we know when an argument is about to come up but so many would still try to prove themselves right thereby causing trouble with it. You can choose to avoid those drama and be at peace with yourself and others.

A guy I know spends most of his time arguing with his friends about almost everything to the extent that his friends no longer wanted to hang out with him just so they could avoid arguments - He isn't a peaceful person. Know when to give up on a talk, you don't have to prove right when the other is also trying to prove right... It would only end up with an argument or a quarrel.

Peace Is Appreciating Life And It's Beauty

Have you ever tried looking up at the sky when you feel tired? Or stand by the sea to feel its cold breeze when you're feeling down? The kind of peace you get at that time is priceless, you feel so relaxed and find yourself smiling and making beautiful decisions about the next step to take. We can't avoid having troubled situations totally but we can always go back to appreciating the beauty of life and stay calm from doing so.

@mubeenalee said in his post titled Nature Is Reflection Of Life

Whenever, I go for walk or I make myself separate for a while, I just see the system of nature and feel it how it is working and all creation cannot go against nature. If anyone wants his/her life beautiful and spend peacefully, he/she will have to cooperate with nature

I want to believe that you got what I'm trying to explain from what he said in his post... Nature also help us to be peaceful.

Peace Is Good Health

This may sound kinda off from all I've been saying about peace but here is the thing... Our peace also rely on our health. For anyone who have been sick before, you would understand what it means to be peaceful when in good health. When you don't give your stomach the right meals, it gives you trouble that you may not contend with and when you feed your stomach well, you feel the peace from within.

Our health needs to be taken care of for us to have peace with ourselves before extending it to those around us. Eat well when you can, exercise your mind and body, dress comfortably and laugh as often as possible... You're growing your peace from within.

When we can achieve our own peace, we could share the peace in our own part of the world and make our nations better, avoiding fights and wars. Grow your peace daily and see how happiness overcome troubled moments, we are our own peace.

Thanks for reading!!!

wonderfully put @merit.ahama I must be getting used to your writing as I just saw the title of this piece and I thought, this sounds like something @merit.ahama may write about and how she would put it😍 It brought me some joy realising that you were indeed the author. Peace does come from within us and in the way we react to the people and things in our lives. If we can find time to quieten the mind and rest. Be at one with ourselves and nature, we can learn to restrain our urges to contest everything that crosses our path. Healthy body, healthy mind, healthy heart😍I came to your post via @dreemport

Awww that was so sweet of you to say, you're getting used to my posts? I'm honored really.

I'm glad you get the point I'm driving at from this post, thanks for reading and leaving a feedback. It's very much appreciated 😊

Peace is all that's needed to live happily with everyone around us. I can't agree less with you on the part that peace is good health.. When we are at peace with all men, our mental health becomes stabilised because we have nothing to worry about.

Thanks for sharing this powerful piece on peace. @dreemport directed me to your post

You got the message, thanks for your contribution 😊

Finding your leave is very paramount to living a good life. Good health gives you the first balance of peace where you have little or no worries. Health is a major determinant of our peace.

Good to know that you agree to what I mean, our health is very important in having peace.
Thanks for stopping by sir 😊

Having time for yourself is the best thing you can do.

Have you ever tried looking up at the sky when you feel tired? Or stand by the sea to feel its cold breeze when you're feeling down? The kind of peace you get at that time is priceless, you feel so relaxed and find yourself smiling and making beautiful decisions about the next step to take. We can't avoid having troubled situations totally but we can always go back to appreciating the beauty of life and stay calm from doing so.

I agree with this totally, we Can't stop the hard times from coming but no matter what happens, taking time to enjoy nature is one of the best kind of peace we can have

That is it dear, we just have to take out time to find our peace because troubles would never be over... We just keep going through them.
Thanks a lot

You're welcome dear!

Wowww.....this tips are interesting.
Peace is everything anyone can think of, it's a healthy lifestyle we should all embrace!
Even the bible says" make every effort to be at peace with all men"

Good job @merit.ahama

Indeed ma'am, the Bible has said it all about peace... We just need to find our peace from within and affect lives around us

Thanks for stopping by ma'am

Peace is essential for livelihood.
The best we could do is avoid things that would want to take the peace away from you, those things always keep coming but it's left to you to handle it properly.

You are right girl... Stay strong when trouble comes, have peace from within and be happy even in difficult situations. It's never easy but we can always get better

Yes dear. I totally agree with you.

Relatable post. Me in my four walls is the greatest peace I can ever wish for. No real friends, just me, my phone, and my bed every passing day.

😂 😂 You're something else. Just you, your phone, and your bed? Aren't you hiding your handsome face too much? And how do you tell people about Hive and stuffs when you're always on your phone and on your bed? 😂 Just kidding

Enjoy your peace joor

🤣... Find it hard to associate, most times I work from home, and feel I'm okay all on my own. Through my phone I can tell millions about hive.

Yeah, you're right. Most people I tell about Hive, I talk to them through my phone

You see the stress of friendship and all that comes with it, I don't wanna be a part. Should I blame that on my upbringing? Most definitely!

Hmm I think I understand that very well, it's cool though

Love this post. I can relate what you said to me and my situation. When I got older, I really value my time to just be with myself.

I'm glad you could relate this to your situation at the moment. Just take your alone time and become your best self whenever

Yeah. Peace is also accomplishments. For me, i feel a sense of peace when i have completed my tasks for the day, week, month or year. Thank you for sharing.

That's also a reason to be peaceful, thanks dear

People live with people, people interact everyday, people work everyday that most of them forget their own time.

I do this a lot without even realizing it, I will try to be taking some alone time to think things through, thanks for sharing dear, I enjoyed reading it.

I'm glad this post was able to remind you about your alone time, do well to take some time off

I will definitely try my best.

There's a saying ,"I don't need you to be my peace, I need you to be at peace with yourself so you don't affect my peace". I don't know the author but that is the code I live by.

Peace is a lot of things and I try to find peace in everything I do and avoid anything that may affect that peace.

Wow I love that saying, it has said it all... We don't always have to find peace from people, we've got to find our own inner peace and affect others positively.

Thanks girl 😊

Thank you so much 🦋❤️

Piece is beyond absence of war.It has to do with calmness around us.
Helpful post thank you for sharing

I have already been here, finding peace in health is a matter of the heart. @dreemport led me here.

Glad you agree with that, thanks
