When you seek peace of mind and cannot find it, one perspective is the mind is expressing its innate restlessness. Another way to perceive peace of mind is to sense this is a lack of disturbance. What does this tell you about how you relate?
Move beyond considering possibilities. Recall what constitutes the joy of well-being. To feel peace itself has nothing to do with mind, which only knows discontent, comparison and contrast. What if what you discern as progress or prioirities is simply a change from what you believe is unpleasant to what you feel as pleasant. Every moment you are the timeless and changeless. Reality does not begin or end, it is perpetual, without begnning or end, noticed or not. Mind is not in charge of whether you Transform your life.
