Signs that you have gained your Inner Peace:

You now just allow things to happen instead of forcing them to happen.

You often smile from your heart.

You have lost all interest in any type of conflict.

You think and act spontaneously, with no fear from your past.

You enjoy each moment.

You have no interest in judging others.

You have no interest in judging yourself.

You have no interest in questioning the acts of others.

You have unmistakable times of appreciation.

You often feel love extended by others; and the urge to extend it.

This is the Sacred Grove I visit when I can. It is made of eternal mountains and clear rivers and perfect sky. I know it is there when I need it, a place to reset and reboot and pray. For that I am deeply grateful.

But I cannot live there. I need some "sand in my craw" to drive me forward, to fulfill the potential of the talents I have been given as a sacred gift. I still have much to learn, much to build. I doubt I will get halfway -- but I have resolved to work on it, to push forward and never surrender.

Seems you've nailed something...as what you said resonates with me especially the last couple years entering my 40's. Still have those times, and situations of "darkness" for lack of a better term, but learning and definitely feeling different in a good way overall.

More alone time (from humans - not plant, animal and insect friends in nature) has played a part, and led me to ironically meet some really cool humans that share the same feelings!

I think your ramblings are motivational words of wisdom

Cole, it is often a steep and rocky path, you too are on your way.

Learning  Knowledge  Understanding  Wisdom
