Greenery all around, big mountains, cold rivers, noiseless roads, those water pearls on the leaves, and a sweet home in the valley....
What a peaceful life of those who live in the place like this. No doubt, there are some differences between the life 'neighboring nature' and the life 'neighboring concrete'.
But is it okay to define peace in terms of trees, rivers, mountains, and valleys ?
No, as it is not necessary that life of every individual living in the lap of nature is importantly peaceful, as we can’t limit the peace.
Peace lies within us and to some extent it is in our hands whether our life would be smooth or disturbed ...
Here, if you noticed, I said that your peace is in your hands but "to some extent only", as we can’t deny the fact that situations around us affect our mood and behavior. So what can we do now? What should we do so that we could cope with the worst and create best for our self?
For this first of all we have to understand the meaning of peace.
We often consider peace as silent surrounding, success at the doorstep, no worries in life, etc but this is the climax of peace as we have to work a lot in our life to achieve these elements.
There is nobody, whose life is perfect but we seldom see that there are some people who look so cheered, fresh, and energetic and by seeing this we usually say that, “what a lucky man as god give him such a peaceful life…” but friends it is not what god gave him it is what he gain through his own actions.
So here comes the meaning of peace
Peace comes when you accept the situations and doesn’t let them to affect your mind in the long run.
Create your own world where your happiness, your goals and your comfort should be your priority. Spend some time with yourself, try to know your inner strength and weakness and work on it, keep yourself busy in your interests, if you feel like crying, cry.. yes! cry a lot, let your emotions flow.
Everyone has different nature and we can’t change anyone’s personality, but the traits mentioned above are those ones which can be easily adopted by an individual, and I bet that if you start prioritizing yourself your life would become simpler and obviously peaceful.
