Inner peace and happiness

the long version

Most of us spend our entire lives searching for love in hope of finding a happiness that will last forever. One of the most important lessons I have learned is that only after we accept that the path to happiness is unveiled through inner peace can we become blessed with a love that brings us eternal happiness. Inner peace is discovered on the journey into our own souls. Acceptance of who we really are and a happiness with one's own true self frees us from worrying about judgment from other people and even ourselves. When we truly love ourselves and become our own best friend (not an easy bond to make), we begin attracting love and energy that radiates an inner peace that others yearn to be around.
