“Peace comes from the knowledge that we cannot control the world outside of us, but we are aware that we can control ourselves. Peace comes from knowing who I am and accepting that, but also from knowing that no one can stop me from doing what I need to do, or follow­ing my convictions related to how I should live my life,” says Matson.
