You Cannot Find Peace By Avoiding Life

What is peace? It's usually said that peace is freedom from disturbance or commotion. How can it be found? Some say in God, some in meditation, maybe in what you love to do. Things like these can only help in achieving peace if done by your whole heart, and to do that you need to live life. 

If you look around, you'll find many people going about life in their own ways. Some happy, some sad, some angry, and many just numb. It is more common than you'd think. A large amount of our society believes in a very conventional routine of life which just lets them have enough to exist. There is nothing wrong with this approach, except when it doesn't let you see life for what it can give you. Life is supposed to make you feel all emotions till you find peace in feeling one. Whether that's contentment, thrill, tranquility, the emotions you feel must give you peace to know that you are truly living life in its best.

By fitting into what others think of a peaceful life, you are avoiding life. You are avoiding the idea of the world and you. Exploring is the key to living, and life is the lock. Do not let anyone fit you into anything.

If you want to go to college and make a successful career in a STEM field, do it. If you want to go out on the road and explore all the abandoned buildings, do it. If you want to learn a new skill, do it. If you want to do anything new that no one has tried before, do it. Of course, keep a regard to the safety of yourself and others, but don't be afraid to choose your own path, or even make one.

By living a mundane life on autopilot, you are nothing but a waste of space. Take control of life and treat things like they are real. Learn action and consequence, deal with them and you'll see how life can turn you into a better you at every moment of time.
