Outside Stuff

 I will never find happiness and peace in outside stuff.  The idea that the right partner, the right job, car, house, neighborhood or whatever out there will give me the peace I seek is false.  Peace and lasting happiness is on the inside.  This is one reason, the big reason, that I pursue some spiritual practice.  I need to exercise my insides through reading and meditation.  Except for the first cup of coffee in the morning.  This is an outside thing, but it seems to work every time.  It gives me early in the day happiness.  With half and half or course.
