Achievement in the outer world does not bring inner peace, but the attainment of inner peace leads to achievement in the outer world.

Those that break open skulls & suck the brains out of humans resting in the inner peace of their mother's womb, annihilate completely any chance of Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness, much less any achievement in the outer world. Directly in violation of God's purpose! #Evil

Sigh - in theory. But when I was working & so not broke, & had a job doing useful things & so felt good about myself, I was +happier. It’s easy for outer difficulties to spark inner, just like reverse. Whichever side it starts on, it can become a spiral. The poor need $ first.

I agree, if "achievement" has a broad definition. I don't seek inner peace so I can climb a career or social ladder. I have no desire to climb either one of those. Achievement is getting through another season with all my chickens healthy.

This is The Secret type thinking. Inner peace will bring inner peace, a wonderful reward. It will not bring material or social “success.” To say it does implies the rich or successful are morally better people.
