Inner beauty

 I would like to axe this post in the line of beauty standing for peace. Inner beauty can be the same as inner peace.

Do not get me wrong when I talk about peace. I do not mean someone who is reserved or talks less. I am referencing the aura of calmness and confidence that envelops someone who is truly at peace with themselves, with life and with the world around them. An extrovert and a bubbly person can still exude inner peace. Let us not propagate hurtful stereotypes. Sometimes anxiety can be a silent killer. You only see its mark when staring straight into the soul of the person, through their eyes., its rampage being sinious,  slow and undetectable to the untrained eye.

Inner peace's greatest and most lethal enemy is in fact control. Control breeds and continually feeds anxiety. Trying to control every outcome and anticipate every painful and devastating life occurence may or may not throw at you is not only fatal to your nervous system but also intensely draining. After a while you start to forget who you really are and what your goals and destination are in life. Anxiety is often accompanied by confusion. 

Always second guessing yourself and the choices you make on a continual basis robs you from your confidence and inner peace. Believe me here, I am speaking from experience. Anxiety caused me to develop a sort of self loathing which now is no more but still did a pretty massive amount of damage in the past. This is the reason behind my vehement perspective that inner peace is in fact inner beauty.

Knowing your purpose in life and walking into a room like you belong there gives you a silent yet potent power that comes from within and that no amount of gossip or unnecessary hatred projected at you can steal from you. Standing firm in your sense of purpose can indicate to you when you are needed and maybe not wanted. It gives clarity. It makes it tolerable being misread and treated like an alien at times. 

Inner peace, confidence and inner beauty are concepts that are strongly and undeniably linked. There are individuals that think and say that inner beauty is kindness and a generous heart. I am not here to say it is wrong but it is much deeper than expected. Kindness and generosity without discernment,  self knowledge and boundaries equates to self destruction. Inner peace is also about cultivating and protecting a rich inner world because believe it or not the outer world can be cruel, ugly and chaotic. Protecting that inner parcel of peace is not an option but a requirement to every indivual.  We all need a happy place within. 

Dissentiently yours,

Joele Hubert.

Are we free to choose?

Dreams versus responsibilities. Obligations or illusions? Are we really free to choose our preferred destinations? Are we really free to make our own decisions? Or do we all inherit our ancestors' despair and our parents' faux pas? All around me I see patterns, generational sequences endlessly reoccuring.  After empathically paying attention  to my ancestors' regrets, I realised that I had had the displeasure of experiencing similar situations despite of the different era I live in.  That is why these are called generational trauma and curses. Till the root of the problem is not addressed, the sequence repeats itself, irrespective of how careful one is.  For some it is the evil seed of phallocracy, for others the cancerous mole that is poverty.  The wretched misery and its companion, the overwhelming confusion, never stops visiting us, thus cultivating bitterness and hopelessness in our lives.  For me the ultimate answer was finding my life purpose. Finding...

Self assurance versus arrogance

In this day and age, many tend to not differenciate between the concepts of confidence and arrogance. Unfortunately, I have met many who had the whole world against them, continuously brainwashing them to see themselves as worthless pieces of shit, and when they showed a well earned success in  life, they were consequently labelled arrogant. The world was adamant about how these individuals should be kept humbled at all times.  Who were the ones really arrogant? Who were the ones really feeling worthless deep down to their cores? Why do you need to drag someone in the mud to feel worthy? When adults adopt these behaviours towards children, it makes my stomach churn! How pathetic!  Whenever someone tries to humble you because you need it(according their twisted and rotten minds), please, remember how lowly they think of themselves. This is a testament of their own value to their own eyes. They are trying to bring you down to their level.  Dear Divine Soul, remember yo...

Free and happy!

Be happy and be free! Finding contentment in the smallest things in life can bring tremendous happiness. Being grateful about being alive and breathing fresh air. Being grateful for the gift of sight and the colorful and astonishing palette of nature. To be able to be content with simplicity in itself is exhilarating to the heart. After having contemplated the prospect of a personalised expedited departure for so long, even being alive and able to feel joy in my heart is a miracle. To be absolutely sincere, dearest reader, I was so accustomed to experiencing sorrow that being serene and joyous feels deeply uncomfortable to me. I am constantly questioning meself:  "Is there something wrong with me? Oh no! I am just happy!"  My wish for you is contentment and happiness! Enjoy life with a zest!
