Question: I love the idea of living in a world without storms, but given how much turmoil and trouble there seems to be every¬where, including in ourselves, where do we find such an elevated state of self?

Answer: Peace of mind produces right values, right values produce right thoughts. Right thoughts produce right actions, and right actions produce work which will be a material reflection for others to see of the serenity at the center of it all.  —Robert M. Pirsig

Never agree that you are powerless in the face of dark and unwanted moments, because instead of mindlessly aching, you can always reclaim your attention and remember this truth: The Light of God is greater than any shadows that come over you, so instead of hating the darkness, look for this light and watch how your life grows brighter.
