“What Conversations or Changes Am I Avoiding in the Name of Peace?”
Let us be honest - a lot of the “peace” we cling to is not peace at all. It is avoidance dressed up in spiritual clothing. It is silence that feels safer than honesty. It is pretending things are okay so we do not have to face the uncomfortable truth.
Avoiding the conversation with our partner because we do not want to rock the boat.
Avoiding the career change because we do not want to risk failure.
Avoiding setting boundaries because we are afraid of being seen as “difficult.”
We tell ourselves we are keeping the peace, but what we are really keeping is the illusion of control. And underneath, resentment grows, dreams shrivel, and our truth gets buried alive.
The peace we are protecting is not peace at all - it is paralysis. Real peace comes from alignment, from speaking the unspeakable, from making the changes that terrify us but set us free.
So, ask yourself: Where am I clinging to fake peace at the cost of my real freedom? What conversations or changes am I avoiding because I am afraid of the ripple they will create?
Because sometimes the ripple is the very thing that sets everything right.
More Food For Thought:
Identify one place in your life where you have been keeping quiet or standing still “for the sake of peace.” Ask yourself:
What truth am I silencing to maintain this false peace?
What is the real cost of staying silent or avoiding change?
If I chose courage over comfort, what conversation or step would I take today?
Stop mistaking avoidance for peace — face the conversations and changes you have been dodging and let truth create real harmony.
