Love and peace of mind do protect us. They allow us to overcome the problems that life hands us. They teach us to survive... to live now... to have the courage to confront each day.

It takes more distress and poison to kill someone who has peace of mind and loves life.

I've learned that to survive, you need a positive state of mind.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.


With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Other people do not have to change for us to experience peace of mind.

Of course, maintenance of peace of mind, at the maximum extent possible, would be the greatest success in a human life.
