I forged peace in uncertainty.

Attaining / Achieving peace is my desperate endeavour in recent times of my life. " No peace of mind" people tell often in transition. It hit me hard in uncertainties . Even though I believed me and my family are flexible in moving but shiting to new place, finding home, missing friends and finding like minded people again became harder. I lost my peace ( my patience, my interest , my strength, etc) and the simple routine became task. Home sick in adult ?People questioned me. Yes! Though it is inevitable, change is tough (with no help ) and challenging. My mind became unquiet . The bold decision I made is seeking help. With help of my family, friends, neighbours, well wishers and therapist slowly I adopted myself in new place.

Bringing peace & finding myself again in new challenging circumstances didn't happen overnight but with effort- acceptance , hope and stubborn hope ( just showing up, doing right things and never give up). Both happy and grim wear me down in the attempt of peace. But I kept moving.

Lately when I started embracing uncertainties, it lead me to a freedom I never experienced before and I understood myself and the world. Without uncertainty I would never known the importance of mindfulness, compassion, gratitude and acceptance of impermanence.

By forging peace in uncertainty , I learnt what I can control( my reactions , my actions , my thoughts) and letting go of the rest. And developing an inner stillness that not shatter when plans fails or circumstance changes. All my overlooked struggles are evidence of my resilience not weakness.
