Finding Peace: Embracing Flaws and Accepting Life’s Imperfections



Daily writing prompt
What brings you peace?

I’d like to preface this question by saying that peace was not an overnight acquisition. It took alot of stormy days and nights in order for me to even understand the preciousness of peace. 

And now, back to the question. 

What brings me peace is to understand that all humans are flawed. That suffering is part of being alive and to limit my expectations of how things and people should be. And when I came to that level of understanding, I acquired peace. 

One will only truly understand peace when you have overcome the hurdles of life, gain your strength through adversity and come to a place of acceptance that – life is not going to go according to your wishes. 

That is where peace begins.
