Yes mam!!
Let me hit you with something real — something that most people never talk about. You say you want peace, but ask yourself this: if your peace depends on everything going exactly the way you planned, the perfect job, the perfect relationship, the perfect timing… what you really have isn’t peace. It’s control. And control? Control is an illusion. Control will fail you every single time.
Because life doesn’t care about your plans. Life will throw storms when you least expect it. Doors will close. People will disappoint. Things you thought were secure will crumble. And if your peace is tied to the outcome, if your happiness hinges on the results, then every unexpected turn becomes a crisis.
Real peace isn’t the absence of chaos. Real peace is the ability to remain steady in the middle of it. It’s waking up in the uncertainty, in the tension, in the unknown, and knowing that your value, your purpose, your life, isn’t defined by what’s happening outside of you. It’s defined by who you are inside.
That’s what real growth looks like. It’s not in the comfort zone. It’s not when everything makes sense. It’s when you learn to stand firm when the ground beneath you is shaking. When you stop demanding answers and start trusting the process. When you let go of control and let life — and God — show you what you were truly capable of.
So today, stop tying your peace to what you can’t control. Learn to be steady in uncertainty. Because that, right there, is the difference between surviving and truly thriving.
