I've given this topic a lot of thought, but my contribution to this topic alone didn't feel adequate. So - I polled roughly 20 of my closest friends and family with the following question:

"What is one thing about your personal journey / pursuit of "figuring things out" that has given you joy and peace amidst all the inevitable chaos of life?"

I expand on their responses regarding self-love, controlling what we can control, enjoying the process, and more! I also give my own personal reason(s) that give me joy and peace. 

Enjoy!
