Instead of looking outside for happiness, become the well of happiness within and share it with others instead.
Aligning yourself with spiritual ideals that are bigger than you brings true emotional stability.
Look out from within and observe the words, actions, reactions, and feelings that evolve from you. Release the identity with what you have observed if it creates tension and stress. Surely you will dissolve into effortless being that way.
When the peace in not inside, we seek it outside. When the peace is not outside, we turn inside. Whether there is internal peace or an internal storm, it spirals outward to everyone you see and everything you touch.
