Peace isn't when war ends. The war ends when peace prevails. It is our alter ego that resents us from the truth, forcing us to believe that we lack the control of being able to initiate peace amongst ourselves. However this inner discomfort shall remain embered until we are able to find the serenity within us that can calm the fight that lies within. We solely have the power to decide how we wish to continue our life. Although not all the variables in life remain in our hands, it is our mentality towards the way in which we respond that allows the prevalence of inner happiness. Our minds remain trapped until our hearts are able to speak and fend for the truth. Why should we not allow ourselves to chase after the happiness we yearn? Yes, patience is a virtue and good things come to those who wait, however it is our choice, our ability, to search for that which is needed to calm the raging fight.

How are you? How was your day? Such questions hold such sentimental value, allowing ourselves to reflect upon thoughts and feelings. As we look at how we live today, it's all become a cliche. How was your day? There's this automated answer from within responding the simple 'Good' or 'Okay'. The thought is no longer submerged into the answer, it just comes without any force. It doesn't actually matter how your day actually was, or how you felt, it seemingly is easier to abide by the constant and continue with the daily routine adopted in life. It is our naïve self that denigrates the importance of our inner emotions and thoughts, ironic as we seek success from the outer self without realising the impossibility of reaching there without inner satisfaction. Next time, let's give the simple things a bit more thought, for it is these little things which remain by us for us to cherish in moments yet to come.
