"The source of true joy is from within. If one is devoid of it, the tendency to search for joy outside oneself easily takes the form of indulgence in pleasant but superficial distractions. Those who do not control their idle desires often do so because they are not grounded. Knowing your deepest wishes, and acting on them, is the better path to joyful exuberance and energy. Looking for something external to fill you up delivers an unsatisfactory result."
