How soon will you realize that the only thing you don't have is the direct experience that there's nothing you need that you don't have?

You stop viewing yourself as being "pushed around" by the world when you realize that only you can "push" yourself. To quote Buddha: "Nothing is upsetting you. You get upset because you are upsettable."

You should always be aware that your head creates your world.

Think of the world as a loving place that is designed to give you everything that you need.

Giving up an addiction means re-programming that part of your brain that makes you restless and unhappy if a desire is not realized.

We always have enough to be happy if we are enjoying what we do have.

Everyone and everything around you is your teacher.
