"If you really want endless peace, how much of your day was consumed with finding endless peace? Do you know why you weren't 100% in seeking endless peace today? Because we are a population of postponers. We postpone. We all have a reason for postponing and it sounds legitimate. We're waiting until we get a better job, we're waiting until we get a house out beyond suburbia where it is quieter. We're waiting until the kids grow up and then move out of the house so we can find peace. We're waiting for something. We're waiting for something on the outside to change: something has to change for us to get this ultimate prize. And it's not true. It's a trap.
Nothing on the outside in your life has to change for you to experience peace and joy. Nothing.
The experience has to be an internal one. It has nothing to do with the outside at all. Peace is on the inside."
