Through our sojourn in life, one way or another we might have encountered situations that messed us up mentally or physically; affecting our moods, work, and so on. In those moments, we might have succumbed to the circumstances. That's a reflection of how a situation can go chaotic for a person.
Nevertheless, the ability to stand tall above these circumstances seems to be there sometimes. Like, we tend to find peace in the face of the chaos and confusion and discomfort that stares at us. It could look like the situation doesn't have an effect on us, but no, it's a display of resilience, tenacity and peace from within.
The ability to maintain our calm and stay peaceful in such circumstances makes a lot of difference. When a person manages to attain that, it builds a whole new perspective and experience. One that suggests developing the character of remaining peaceful in the face of chaotic moments or happenings.
I don't know what exact experience to share which captures the subject relayed above. For I've had a share of life's experiences; the funny, the pleasant, the beautiful, the painful, the tough and the unpalatable. These experiences are not without some response to them, which in some cases the chaos or circumstances prevailed.
In other situations, I found peace and calm amidst the chaos. The happenings didn't subjugate me, they presented themselves tough as they were but it wasn't a win for them. This draws my mind to a time when I had some issues in my academics. It was a matter with serious consequences that could affect my academic journey in a major way.
At first, it was an uneasy situation for me. I tried to rally and do the needful after which I decided not to lose my peace over it. The situation looked discouraging but somehow I wasn't restless about it. There was this peace within me that suggested “I won't let this thing stress me.” And yes, that didn't happen. But how did I manage to be at peace in the face of such?
One thing that has been instrumental in my journey in life is the reliance on the help of God. Honestly, when things overwhelm me and seem capable of affecting my mood or keeping me worried and so on, this is my biggest remedy. I present it before God in faith and I find assurance about the matter. It doesn't always go the positive way, but at least I didn't lose my peace for its sake.
That was what I did in that situation. Also, seeing the possibility of a good outcome and that the situation wasn't the end of life kept me in a calm state through that. When we focus on the positive and do not lean more towards the negative, we tend not to lose our peace and calm. It's a life lesson beyond this situation shared.
Images are mine.
It's good to focus on the positive side and expect good while we work towards it. This can help us remain calm when faced with challenges.
Yes, that's it.
Thanks for the support.
