BEING EMOTIONALLY PEACEFUL

Happy new week my dear friend, I'm so happy to have you here today, as we conclude on this month's theme LIVING IN PEACE. Do you remember a story a shared two weeks ago, that of a young man named Chidi, how he lived in a noisy environment, the decision he took, and the significance of that very decision. peace is a decision we all have to make, and it begins with how we manage our emotions.

Sometimes, it’s not the noise around us that troubles us most, it’s the noise within. Our emotions are valid; they are signs that we are alive. But if we’re being honest, they can also wear us out. And in a world that constantly triggers our feelings, from disappointments to heartbreaks to just the pressure to keep going, emotional peace feels like a rare treasure. But here’s the truth: peace isn’t about not feeling anything. It’s about not letting what we feel control us.

Being emotionally peaceful doesn’t mean we won’t get angry or feel pain. It simply means we’ve learned to breathe through it. To pause. To not let one bad moment ruin a good day. It means choosing our battles, knowing when to speak and when silence is louder. It’s knowing that reacting to everything steals more from us than the problem itself ever could.

Some days, being peaceful is as simple as walking away from arguments that go nowhere. Other days, it’s harder, like holding back tears when all you want to do is scream. But peace is a process, not a switch. And every time we choose to be still instead of stirred, we grow. Because peace isn’t just something we have it’s something we become.

This month, we have discussed 'living a peaceful life' and I hope you have been able to pick lessons from topics we discussed each week. I pray that God gives us the strength to find the peace that we truly deserve. And when you find the peace, may it be a lasting one. Thanks for following through the month of July. Do not forget to comment and share with your family and friends. I wish you a productive and prosperous week. See you next month.
