It is May and I am reminded that maybe’s are used to indicate uncertainty or possibility. One of the maybe’s I thought about a lot as a child was that I would grow up and live a life of peace.
I experienced a lot of trauma as child. Nobody is exempt from trauma. Being in it for a long time without support or the change of environment can make it a challenge of dreaming of better days.
To cope as a child, I had to keep peace of mind top of mind.
I had to also:
- Name my sources of trauma
- Establish people and places of refuge
- Leave when hope and prayer was no longer enough
Without peace of mind, you can never become the best version of yourself. And I have found that peace of mind is the most valuable thing that I can have.
That leads me to another maybe I focused on as a child, which has become a reality for me as an adult.
I wanted to live a life of purpose.
Are you living in purpose today? If you are reading this blog right now, you are of course alive. But are you living.
Maybe you living on purpose may be a thought in your mind today.
- What do you dream about?
- What do you worry about?
- What do you cry about?
- What’s brings you joy?
Answer those four questions and you are closer to having peace of mind by living life on purpose.
