 One of the biggest ways to actually bring inner peace in is to love and accept yourself as is right now. You can do both at the same time and in my experience doing that is really the fast track of improving your life and building your dream life. It's giving yourself grace and compassion for yourself right now and knowing that you deserve the best in your life and that working towards those dreams and those goals and yourself is the way to do that. Don't be upset with yourself because you're only here at this point in your life. You've been through a lot, we all have. So allow your compassion and your desire for a better future and a better life to outweigh the comfortability of playing victim in your current circumstance.
