I FOUND PEACE SOMEHOW

Oh my, I can't believe I made it this far for this challenge, this was the most challenging challenge I've done since I joined dreemport, but like you all know, I'm not one that takes no for an answer except no is the answer, lolz. Well, this month's challenge was centered on #speekpeece, finding inner peace and also giving peace to those around us. I have always loved being in a place where there is no strive, malice and hatred but togetherness, communication and love and this month's challenge has helped me to think of different way to find peace in myself and also share that peace to those around me.

From the beginning of the month of October, I was having a really hard time finding peace within me because I felt like a really bad person and you know, I know that there is no rest of mind for the wicked and I was feeling like I was a wicked person because I made people around me sad and angry. The fact that I did this kept me in the dark for some time but then I decided to channel my energy to something instead and I had to put my time to good use by being very active here on Hive and thanks to the newbies initiative that gave me a responsibility which I'm so honored to be given, I had to somehow overcome my negative thoughts of feeling like a bad person.

You know, at some point I had to reschedule my life to make every time count and so far it has been really helpful and my mind seems to be healing but by bit. The painful part is the more I try to attain peace of mind, the more I get things that take it back to the ground level, at some point I had to cry, I don't even know why but I just felt that way. After reading @dreemsteem illustration of a nightmare, I was very convinced that we have very limited time here on earth and using that little time to cause someone pain is just not the way out at all. I learned that it is good that we cherish every moment we spend with those we love and always try to make them know how important they are to you as well.

Now that I know that I have limited time to spend with those that are around me, I just want to be good to them in anyway I can, I will always try my best to make them smile and most especially try to be there when they need me but I know that will be very hard but I just have to try because once I loss them, I won't be able to do anything for them ever again so I want to always grab the opportunity I have now. I will always let them know how kind, sweet, loving, caring, intelligent, understanding, unique, awesome and amazing they are and also correct their wrong actions in love and not trying to be too judgemental.

I believe peace is what will come when we try to give it out, what I mean is, peace is reciprocal. If you give peace, you are always expecting it back and that is why we just have to put in effort to giving peace if we want it too. I love peace and I know majority of us do too but we are just so scared of being used by those that are violent. My craving for true peace brings me to think of what I can do to bring about peace to my mind and also to those I come in contact with. And after much thoughts on this, below are some few ways that I think I could create peace...

  • SEEK DIRECTIONS FROM GOD

I'm human and I know that it's very hard for me to make the right decisions most times so what I always do is just like seeking for help from God because he is the God that gives us understanding whenever we ask it of him.

  • I WILL TRY TO STOP ASSUMING THINGS AND JUST ASK

I remember there was a time when I got into a very big trouble because I had assumed things instead of to ask questions so I can be clarified but no, I choose to assume and it cost me my peace because I was worried I had done something wrong. It too me quite a long time to find my peace back and ever since then I still haven't been able to stop assuming so I think now I just have to try my best to stop it somehow.

  • ALWAYS TRY TO BE MYSELF

People always like it when someone is genuine to themselves and others around them and I believe that if I keep being myself I believe I won't have so much to be worried about and that will help keep my peace all the time because I don't have to feel worried at all because I know that I'm always me wherever I'm found so I don't feel restless at all.

These are a few things that I feel will create peace in my mind and which will also extend to everyone I come in contact with. I hope I was able to share something with you that either gave you peace or will help you find peace. Know that you always what you say you are, the only approvement you need is the one from your maker, so just be happy and keep your peace of mind because that is the only way you can also give out peace to those around you.

This is the final entry for the #speekpeece, a collaboration between @dreemport and The Hive-Naija community, I'm so happy I made it this far, it was really worthwhile now I know I have learned things that I'm going to use in different aspects of my life. Thank you so much @dreemsteem and @deraaa for this challenge, it really challenged me.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog ❤️❤️

Don't ever think you are a bad person. You are not.

I know that I only know you from what you write here on Hive, but I could tell from the very first of your posts that you are one of the most good people I've ever come across. None of us are perfect and you shouldn't punish yourself just for being human.

But never forget that there is a huge difference between being a fallible human, and being bad. Stick to the principles you've set yourself, and you'll do just fine 😀

Do good . and you'll find peace.
Do you know where to find it? It's not everywhere, it's just within you.. In your mind...
You better do meditation more. It really helps 😊.. Self reflection can also help us evaluate the good and bad we have done,..realize the mistakes,, and make them better. It helps us find peace as well...
I know you aren't bad.. !LUV you !LADY

You're absolutely right Jane, knowing what we have done wrong, admitting we are wrong and accepting corrections is one way that I know we can create peace. Thank you so much for stopping by Jane, your words are just comforting, I feel so much loved and better reading through.

That's right partner, I will keep trying my best to avoid assumptions.

Thank for the hugs partner, I feel really better seeing that you sent me a hug. I know it's hard to believe partner but that's what people around me in the real world make me feel and I just need to accept it and become better.

Yes, this challenge has really made me find a better part of me again and I must really appreciate @deraaa and @dreemsteem for coming up with such a beautiful idea.

Thank you for always being the best partner ever, sending you a big hug partner 🥰🤗.

You always write with such sincerity and authenticity, Hope. It feels impossible to me that you could ever knowingly make anyone sad. It seems like we both gained a lot from this challenge, despite how challenging it may have been. I completely agree that it has been the most difficult one so far. One of the foundational keys to achieving peace and then maintaining it, is open communication. When we stop engaging with others, when we stop trying to understand the perspectives of other people, we deny ourselves and them the opportunity to connect genuinely and to learn and grow from the experience. We start to draw conclusions from incomplete information. We make judgements based on little to no substance... and in truth... our lives start to mimic that of soap operas. So here's to taking the time to understand those around us and to making our voices heard as meaningfully and peacefully as possible. !LUV !ALIVE !PIZZA

I don't really know how it happened but somehow that is how some persons see me as because I refuse to do what they want 😢. Reading through this beautiful comment I just feel like we really have almost similar thoughts towards Thai challenge and it has been really tough but very timely. I wonder how it would have been if this topic was not been discussed during this time when I'm feeling this way.

We have to keep speaking out and also giving others the room to also err their views and not be too judgemental when they try to confide in us.

Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your such an amazing contribution, I'm really thankful you stopped by ❤️🤗

Peace is all around us only if we can feel it and allow it in, I am glad you found the peace you crave with the outlined steps aforementioned.

You are a good person, you are a light, you are enough, you are a rock star, you are more than they think, more than man's imagination. You are a beauty, a lover, and a great writer. You are Hope, the hope that good things are bound to happen sometime in our lives.

#speekpeece. You matter 💯💯

Jesus said 'happy are the peacemakers' so choosing to make and promote peace with those around you is a real benefit.

It's hard for me to imagine you making anyone sad or angry. Your presence here on Hive is always so delightful and encouraging. But, that's in no way to take away from what you were feeling or experiencing, just my opinion being sent to you.

As for assuming, there are times when "assuming" can be good. Like when you assume someone is good at heart, even if they aren't showing that of themselves at a specific moment.

Otherwise, I wonder, have you heard this quote?

It is dangerous to assume because you might make an “ass” out of “u” and “me”.

It's uncertain who originally said this line, but it's been in circulation for a long, long time.

Sending you peace at this moment, lovely @hopestylist. 💛

Wow, I never really thought of assuming in that way before and I haven't heard that quote as well but somehow I have really found peace in your words, thank you so much Julie ❤️ for coming through with your beautiful words of encouragement, I really appreciate you 🤗.

Do have a beautiful week 🥰💙

Communication is key. It helps us get clarity in whatever we do. It helps to put a lot at bay. Also, there is this ease to comes with being yourself. You really don't have to worry about keeping up appearances.

We all want peace and it is best also when we can give others peace too. This life is too short and we, humans have limited time. So, why keeping malice when we can bring peace to people around us?

There are ways to get peace but the best is to ask God for guidance and He will definitely lead us.

I popped in through Dreemport 🤗

You're absolutely right we have limited time to stay here on earth so it's a waste keeping malice.

Yes God is the only one that can give us true peace.

Thank you so much for stopping by Buzhay, I'm so happy to have you stop by.

This was wonderful to read :) I like the ideas you have on how to #seekpeece in your daily life 🤩

Being yourself is freedom, and asking for clarification gives others freedom. Sometimes the issues in our lives just need a better view point! Thank you for sharing this awesome write up full of heart, visiting you from Dreemport this evening 😁

Peace comes from God first. There are certain moments when we seem overwhelmed by vicissitudes of life, we can control our emotions at that point but if we can surrender all to him, He takes over.
Also, life is all about giving and receiving. In giving peace we also receive it.

You're absolutely right friend, true peace comes from God and the more we give peace the more we receive it.
