"That is why **those who seek stillness** must come to . . . • Develop a **strong moral compass**. • **Steer clear of envy** and jealousy and harmful desires. • **Come to terms with the painful wounds** of their childhood. • **Practice gratitude** and appreciation for the world around them. • **Cultivate relationships** and love in their lives. • Place belief and control in the hands of **something larger than themselves**. • **Understand that there will never be “enough”** and that the unchecked pursuit of more ends only in bankruptcy."
