When I successfully wage war against that treacherous piece of myself—the one that schemes against my better nature—I experience a clarity that allows me to harmonize with the outer world, along with an unimaginably deep sense of peace.  I think it’s because I’ve won the fight that truly matters, and I’m reaping the rewards of victory. 

The important thing is to keep doing it.
