At various stages in our lives sometimes we need reminders
of who we are and who we were made to be. We need to look at ourselves and see
if we truly know our own convictions and if we find contentment with them. When
you were younger it may have been a little harder because far at the back of
your mind you thought just maybe you were missing something in life; no one
wants to feel like the odd one out. But then comes that day of reckoning where
you’re exposed to that thing that was lingering at the back of your mind and
you find yourself asking, “Is this it? Is this all there is to this?” And in
that moment you realize that the person you’ve become at the stage where you
are in life you really, really like this person and you don’t need the other
stuff. Let’s just say you come to realize you really are “an individual.” You
walk to the beat of a different drummer; you really are set in your convictions
and you have peace with it. It’s not to say that you don’t look to grow even
more but you find that you’re comfortable in your own skin. Are you truly at
peace with who you are? Not many people can say that they’ve found that peace. Some
try to find peace in other people, their possessions, their titles, their
status, and acceptance. Be very cautious of the latter; acceptance doesn’t
necessarily mean peace or contentment. Sometimes acceptance is a disguise for
settling for less than your place of victory in life. If you can truly wake up
every day without the disguise of a smile while a storm is raging inside you,
be thankful for the peace of your convictions.
