Finding Peace within Yourself

I feel like I used to be so certain about what I love in life, and as I grew older, I don’t know how and when, that certainty started to become a blur.

Is it because we are constantly worried about feeling connected to others?
Is it because we are constantly worried about what kind of job we will get after we graduate from college?
Is it because we compare ourselves to others who seem to be more successful and happier than us?

Perhaps. And if so, how did all this happen, and why don’t we have better control of it?

All I know now is if I truly put effort into the things I love to do, see, and feel, then the more it gives back to me. And that effort starts to grow within, each time.

And finding peace within myself was where it all starts. It was where I discovered that I have an inner compass that takes control, and directs me to where I put my best efforts to.

So if and when you feel lost, uncertain, or empty, just remember to:

Embrace yourself.
Think by yourself.
Dream by yourself.
Listen to the sounds you love by yourself.
Breathe and believe each time, by yourself.

You will get there.
You will find peace within yourself, 
and discover your own inner compass.
