The calm before a storm. After the storm? What happens? Calm again.
So when you are experiencing a calm, what does it mean? A storm is coming, or a storm is over?

Peace. When nothing stirs, or after all the overflowing troubles finally die down?

Contentment comes after extreme happiness and sadness. Then when there's nothing to be sad about anymore, is that something to be happy about? Bliss. Content. Peace.

Transformation. A butterfly about to break free? An ugly duckling turning into a swan? Or simply a murderer in the making? Or the beginning to a tragic ending?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You do something that you like. Perhaps not the best, but probably somewhere average, or at least not the worst. But one day, you simply realise how bad you are at it. So bad, yah, one of the worse, if not the worst. Being bad at something you do, is bad enough. Being poor at something you love, it's wholly pathetic!

Or is it? Still, you'll reach a crossroad. First, start working hard on it and prove to the whole world and yourself, you can do it. You can be one of the best, if not the best! Second, simply dread the feeling of being a failure, so much that you stop doing it altogether. Find something else which you can fare better, but don't really have a passion for. After all, interest can be cultivated.

Any third road? Yes.
You may not be ambitious. You may lack the will. Yet, nothing can keep that fire from burning within you. It's not called Passion for nothing. It may be doused by inferiority, or simply die down with the Winds of Time. But it shall not yield without putting up a good fight, without burning wildly and freely in its own rights.

You may not be the best, but nothing can stop you.
If you can attain this feel in the face of the best. Despite being the worst. Peace. is. with. You.
