Finding Calm and Peace in the Chaos

04.22.2025

There are several moments in our lives and throughout each day, where we are given a choice to decide how we will proceed and react to certain circumstances and events. I have been through several circumstances that has dropped me to my knees, where I forgive and forget, and at times where the hate and anger or sadness runs so deep that I can’t control my mind, thoughts, and emotions.

I have come to learn that when I feel the deep resentment and anger or sadness, the best place for me to find my calm and peace is with the higher power.

The hurt and pain we feel that has been inflicted upon us from others, we can choose to reciprocate those harsh realities back onto them but we can also choose to make peace with our mind and heart. I truly believe that what they do onto others shall return to them on their own. We do not need to put ourselves in a continued cycle with them nor should we use up our precious energy and time for those who wants us to fail and fall.

When I let go from the things and people who has hurt me, I am choosing to free myself from the chains of repeated cycles and karma with them.

The world and life can be harsh and chaotic, but without chaos we wouldn’t know what calm and peace is. We do not have any control over others or what is to come but what we do have control over, is our mind and our thoughts. When life gets too hard, I place my mind and heart with the higher power to guide me on a righteous and peaceful path and to embrace my wounds to continue to heal. Sometimes it can take just once for it to go away and other times, it can be a continued practice to maintenance the peace within.

What ever you do, whichever way you choose, if you continue to choose to do good and find peace, your life will be filled with more of it.
