There is a criterion by which you can judge whether the thoughts you are thinking and things you are doing are right for you.  The criterion is:  Have they brought you inner peace? ~ Peace Pilgrim

Inner peace is not found by staying on the surface of life, or by attempting to escape from live through any means.  Inner peace is found by facing life squarely, solving its problems, and delving as far beneath the surface as possible to discover its verities and realities. ~ Peace Pilgrim
