This is spot on. I listened to Tommy Angelo a couple of days ago on the mental game radio show with Jared Tendler and i have now bought a couple of books about buddism. Maybe that can help me find that inner peace.
Tommy said something like this
"According to the buddhist teachings the cause of all of our suffering is
our attachments, and desires, cravings, and clinging and also aversions.
We like things, or we dont like things, all the time we judge everything.
And one of the basic ways its put is:
Anytime we want things to be different then thats what causes us suffering.
If we lost a pot, and we dont want it to be that way we suffer.
If we found out we have cancer we dont want it to be that way and we suffer.
It is our resistance to what actually is, according to buddhist teachings, which is the core of the problem"

Actually since a couple of months i have started to look for voluntary work.
Havent found anything yet. But maybe something connected to homeless people or children.
I think I need to find something that I find meaningful.
