I came across a Pema Chodron clip on You Tube. She spoke of some very true facts. Most people start making adjustments to external phenomena, in order to bring some kind of "inner peace." Isn't it true? We eliminate, make additions, and adjust all of our worldly circumstances in the hopes that it will bring us what we want-happiness.
A classic example is money. Alot of us presume that a life with a significant amount of money can bring us happiness. However, money only solves financial problems. It does not cure personalities or character discrepancies.
Thus, we have to start working with our minds first. I agree 100 percent with this philosophy. Change the way you think and you will see that you can create your own happiness. There is no doubt that we might have to change our external phenomena.
You may need to find a new job since the current one is draining you. You might need to move. Perhaps your neighborhood is not healthy for you. But in the end, the mind is the fix to all pyschological glitches. Start there first and then clean house.
