Don't depend on external circumstances for your happiness

Anyone who chooses to live life attached to the pleasure or pain of the mind and body lives in vain.  The person who truly identifies with the image of God within, who is fully satisfied with doing the right things for its own sake, that person will have nothing else to do to become satisfied.  He or she is not disappointed with the lack of personal gain nor does that person fail to act because of the fear of losing something.  That person is not dependent on anyone or anything for their satisfaction.
