Inner peace is the key: if you have inner peace, the external problems do not affect your deep sense of peace and tranquility. In that state of mind you can deal with situations with calmness and reason, while keeping your inner happiness. That is very important. Without this inner peace, no matter how comfortable your life is materially, you may still be worried, disturbed or unhappy because of circumstances.
~The Dalai Lama
I can get flustered so easily when events happen, so this is a good sign to me that I do not have inner peace. That's why my life has been devoted to understanding myself and finding that inner peace. I am finding that Buddhism (the philosophy) has become an extremely valuable tool in my quest.
Have a Blessed day!
