If you take peace now things come together faster. Like if you need a car to be happy, or when you get a promotion then you can be happy, happiness will always be just beyond your grasp. Peace is accepting the reality of what is now and being at peace with it.
That is not to say being at peace with reality is settling for the current reality. Having goals and plans to build upon the current reality is compatible with current inner peace.
In life there is always room for improvement. ~wise virgo
