Your body has its unique way of getting its cells back together in a specific way, the same as the moment you find your inner peace, you will learn how to live above everything that is taking away your happiness. 

Your life might not have a good beginning, but it’s all up to you if you are willing to change your end by removing yourself from the prison guilt, worry, stress, depression, loss, anxiety, condemnation, fear and terror. The most essential substance of the human body is inner peace. 

You can fight, win, neither be defeated but as long as you don’t have your inner peace, you will spend the rest of your life blaming situations and others, while your life will be moving backward. 

Finding your inner peace is like finding the hidden treasure key to your destiny, you will be able to operate everything swiftly, and calmly to the extent that you won’t be intimidated by anything. 

Thinking too much will never solve anything in your life, except taking away your freedom from you. 

Peace is the only thing that the enemy is afraid of, he/she knows that once a captive finds their inner peace, they have gained the willpower to live upon them and be defeated. 

The reason why you are struggling with whatever is taking away your happiness is that you are not allowing it to flow but rather fighting it within yourself. 

Happiness is you, not someone else or anything you might think of, people turn to go out in places looking for answers, and yet they have what it takes to find the answers they will be looking for. 

Stop blaming circumstances, they are there to strengthen you.

We are now living in a world filled with pretentious faces, where 81% of people are struggling to find the true meaning of happiness. 

Even to yourself right now you can examine whether you are truly at peace or not. 

“What had brought colour and joy could also bring darkness and destruction”, meaning they are things we can receive or experience in life that can make us happy and, at the same time can leave us in devastating condition. These are real life-threatening issues, the type of wounds that others take time to heal.  For you to live freely you must accept things as they are knowing that anytime you will lose them, so that when it happens it won’t break you to the extent of losing your mental health.  Not everyone deserves to know everything about you because one day that same person will use your weaknesses against you. 

Once you are at peace with your life you won’t be afraid of anything because you are aware of the power you carry and well prepared for anything. 

You will find out that in most cases of your life, you would want circumstances to change according to your way, and if it doesn’t happen that way, you will start saying things that are not supposed to be said, doing things that are not supposed to be done. 

Instead of operating things calmly you will be led by emotions and frustration and you know your outcome depends on the level of your reaction towards the situation and to some you will end up regretting. 

Every family has got its history in their lineage, there are blessings and cases but mostly, especially in Africa people focus on the vergences, bad luck, curses, witchcraft issues, I mean everything negative but it’s just a few that gets down to find the family blessing, you will find out that most people don’t have peace because of the bad information they have been fed. 

Take time with yourself, sit down, and relax don’t take God’s job in your shoes, flesh has feelings so the soul operates differently and can be triggered by our way of thinking. 

You now want everything to fast forward, if life was supposed to be lived like that, I don’t think it was going to be worth living. 

Turn your pain into power

While you are waiting on something to keep your life busy with other things available, you don’t wait for an opportunity to come, you create a room for them. 

Even the body itself needs time to repair its tissues, you can even be advised by your doctor to eat healthy foods the same as your soul feeds it with the word of God, affirmations, positivity, motivation, and spending your time doing the things you like. 

It’s not everything you need to know; you have to let go of some things. Most relationships are sinking because people are marrying an idea when they get into reality they quit, the same as for careers and purposes. 

You see someone trying to be who they are not or competing not knowing that you have different purposes with that person. 

Study and practice your way of thinking, don’t be too forward on things let them flow, do you know that a person with a stable mind can produce better results than a person who is always too fast on doing things? 

Forgive yourself, forgive anyone who has wronged you, let go of pain, and let everything flow even if they are going towards the direction you don’t want, just like water currency in a river flow, use its power to make it your own. Sleep, rest, relax, smile, think of the good things that have happened to you, and embrace them. Write down the things that are disturbing your peace, remove those you can’t change, and start dealing with those left, one by one not at once. 

Learn to say no and stop being a people pleaser, your life matters, you are not born to impress, otherwise if you fail, your life won’t be worth living.
