It is the going out from oneself that is love and not the accident of its return. It is the expedition, whether it fail or succeed.
~ H. G. Wells
If you give your life as a prayer, you intensify the prayer beyond all measure. To attain inner peace you must actually give your life, not just your possessions. When you at last give your life bringing into alignment your beliefs and the way you live, then, and only then, can you begin to find inner peace.
