How to Overcome Negative Compulsions

Whatever negative compulsions you've overcome, there will come a time when you fall off the wagon and revert to your old ways. Recognise when this happens and practise pulling yourself back. Pride and outward show is an arch-sadducer of reason. In all cases, speak the truth as you see it, but with kindness and humility. Wealth in and of itself is not a good or bad thing, it's how you use it. The term goods is a misnomer when used to refer to possessions. Your only true goods are your virtues. Just your own mind and prize that. Be satisfied in yourself.
