Inner peace, which can include happiness, freedom, love, serenity and fulfilment, is what everyone ultimately desires. This is the 'goal behind the goals' that people are seeking. There is a simple way to bring these into your life: Make inner peace your primary goal. This doesn't mean you have to go around being peaceful and serene all the time, and it doesn't mean you can't have other goals - just that you shouldn't become too attached to them or become a slave to them. You need to realise that your happiness and well-being do not depend on them. It just means that, in any situation, your goal is peace. Whenever there is a choice (and there is always a choice), choose peace.
