Some people travel far and wide to seek inner peace. However, if you lack peace within, no matter how far you go, you will not find it. Conversely, if peace already resides in your heart, there is nowhere you absolutely need to go. Resistance is everywhere. When it arises, the first step is to face reality and resolve it. Merely quibbling over minor issues only brings self-inflicted distress, causes suffering, harms relationships, and may even create enmity. Missing an opportunity is not a disaster; it can also be a chance. This missed opportunity may pave the way for a better one next time. Therefore, do not regret missing it; instead, grow stronger to seize the next one. What is truly meant for you will never be missed. One might believe in ghosts, but never trust a man’s deceitful words.
