Standing in the gap and accepting reality for what it is, one may find oneself at peace with the way things are, with no urge to change things to the way "they might be". This is, in a way, a prescription for finding inner peace as it encourages you to stop fighting what is and to instead accept it in peace. Yet I would also add that the struggle to change things to the way they could be (better) is a worthwhile and fulfilling endeavour which in itself will help us grow and bring more joy into life.
