Until you learn to step out of the mental prison, you're basically letting your thoughts run your life like a chaotic toddler with scissors. Recipe for disaster.

But here's the good news: peace isn't some mystical state reserved for monks on mountaintops. It's your natural state - you've just got some mental clutter in the way.

Peace is when you're fully present & resist the temptation to follow your mind's lead. It's not an empty mind. It's a mind that's in the backseat.
