Remember above all that mental stability comes by examining the contents of the mind, not by avoidence.

Persistence prevails, like a stream that is temporarily blocked by boulders and then collects force enough to overflow onward.

Worried thought prevents practical thought which could prevent worried thought.

We can become slaves to things we don't understand

We never get upset over what happens. Never. We get upset because of preconceived ideas as to what we think should happen, what we want to happen. When our preference clashes with the reality, we get hurt. Rid yourself of all preconceived ideas as to what should happen. You are then at peace whatever happens.

The only way to do something truly important every day is to seek to understand yourself every day.

You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.
