Most human beings only scratch the surface of their real potential. They have no idea what they're capable of.
Few find inner peace but this is not because they try and fail, it is because they do not try. . . When your life is governed by the divine nature instead of the self-centered nature you have found inner peace.
If you did not face problems you would just drift through life. It is through solving problems in accordance with the highest light we have that inner growth is attained.
When you have found inner peace, you are in constant contact with the source of universal energy and cannot be tired. . . You have endless energy.
