In Herbert J. Hall, M.D.'s book, entitled "The Untroubled Mind", he makes the argument that in order for humans to find true peace of mind, they must be focused more on the development and integrity of their character than what they have. He also make the case that when a person is pursuing a purpose, which they believe to be theirs, then they will experience the untroubled mind as well as fulfillment.
In my own life, I have experienced these points to be true for me. When I have found myself hung up on the minutia of life, rather than the big picture of what my ultimate objectives are, that's when I have found it most difficult and stressful. When I am focused on my personal development and entrepreneurial pursuits, for the sake of fulfillment of my God-given purpose, it is then that I experience a peace beyond understanding. Hall also writes of the importance of constantly moving forward to the next challenge rather than regretting past failures. It is in this mindset that I believe, a person opens themselves to true accountability. Being truly responsible for ones' self, requires a willingness to leave the past behind, with the purpose of having learned from it. The critical position must be an emphasis on where one is now and where one is going. With proper character and purpose people are able to face the future with courage and determination, and experience what Herbert J. Hall M.D. called "The Untroubled Mind".
Peace and Blessings!
