# Inner Peace vs Outer peace

In my earlier post, you read that man is often running after pleasures in life. But little did he understand what the real pleasure is. Then there is competition around him and he wants to succeed in all. If he socialises, then there's also a pinch of selfishness in him. In such a scenario, how can one differentiate between inner peace vs outer peace?

## In search of peace

But nothing is impossible in this world. When you make up your mind about something, you unintentionally start working towards it. While working for betterment, people change their place of living. The reasons could be many, like the surroundings have become dirty or noisy. One of the main reasons also includes overcrowded localities.

To clean the environment, we need cooperation from all.

In the same way, to detox our mind, body and soul; to find inner peace, we need cooperation from all.

Accept the reality. When you throw garbage outside your neighbour's house, the mosquitoes fly towards your house too.

## Differentiate between good and bad

One should be able to differentiate between the two: What is good and what is bad?

If a man is aware of his bad behaviour, then there are chances of him correcting himself one by one. But what if the man does not accept that he is doing something wrong to society or mankind or primarily to himself first?

He has to be wise and correct himself first before he stands up and pinpoints others in society. 

You may keep changing places and wonder why you still feel so restless and depressed.

## The answer lies within you 

- You will feel good when you start thinking of your own growth.

- When you **don't get bothered by your neighbours, but you.**

- When you learn the fact that your happiness does not depend on others' behaviour, you always want someone else to change so that you** feel good.**

- When you realise that it is only you who can make changes to your own life and not others.

- No, we are not changing for others. We change because that gives **us** happiness. 

- **Learn to find happiness in the things you have**. This way, you will not expect more, but will receive it over time.

- When** things come your way unexpectedly, they give you immense pleasure.**

 As soon as you sense peace within you, you feel calm and content everywhere.
