The basics again!

I think you understand this but sometimes we all need to be reminded.
Although so much emphasis is placed on lifestyle we know that, at the highest/deepest level, happiness has NOTHING to do with the external and EVERYTHING with the internal.
A happy heart amidst atrocious conditions (mother Theresa, Nelson Mandela, tibetan lamas etc.) is happy, a confused mind (Paris Hilton, Kurt kobain, ...)in heaven like realms of riches and fame end in suicide,depression and drug dependancy.
Where ever you go the weather follows, for you perceive everything with your mind. If we place blame on our jobs, others etc. It is simply a projected of our own inner turmoil.
First we must accept ourselves and our present, then and only then can we truly forgive (that is, realize that forgiveness is not needed because in fact there was never any problem except that which we had projected upon an objective reality) and move peacefully into the present and start to act from awareness to create an external world which matches the inner peace we are emitting from our hearts.
This I believe is each one our soul responsibilities.
World peace through inner peace.
