Road to inner peace

A month ago I was trying to articulate my feelings.. I was thinking the road to inner peace isn't always easy and smooth though…. but it is worth the journey. And i posted this thought on my Facebook profile.
In response of my statement, 1 of my dear friend Linda Finn from UK wrote "The road to find inner peace has gates that are hard to open along with bumps and pits .....but when we find a smooth road its wonderful .....but it is all part of our journey"
I must say her comments is well written. But not sure if I'm agree with her completely as she wrote 'but when we find a smooth road its wonderful'. I was wondering is anyone really gets the SMOOTH ROAD in there life?... truly don't know. At least it didn't happened with me till date.
Am i sound like a pessimist? Trust me I'm not. Because i didn't lose my faith, I'm still searching, I'm trying...

Better man

Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm
In pouring rain

Give me endless summer
Lord I fear the cold
Feel Im getting old
Before my time

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord Im doing all I can
To be a better man

Go easy on my conscience
cause its not my fault
I know Ive been taught
To take the blame

Rest assured my angels
Will catch my tears
Walk me out of here
Im in pain

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord Im doing all I can
To be a better man

Once youve found that lover
Youre homeward bound
Love is all around
Love is all around

I know some have fallen
On stony ground
But love is all around

......This is lyrics of the song 'Better man' sung by Robbie Williams. It's not a new song but i discovered this wonderful song a couple of month ago. There are very few songs that make us think. And this song is one of them. My eyes became tearful while i was listening that song.. i was feeling so empty, so poor... Am i doing the right things in life? God help me... show me the way...
