“We can work toward contentment by being mindful of unproductive thoughts and actions which may hinder us and seek to make positive changes; have a sense of purpose in life; be more productive and less lazy; question our desires and eliminate or greatly reduce that which takes away from our tranquility; and improve our self-reliance, our self-esteem, and not fully depend on others for our happiness.”

Imagine questioning your desires and trimming away what's unnecessary to achieve inner peace. Justin also touches on the importance of self-reliance and self-esteem, showing how not depending on others for happiness can lead to a more fulfilling life.
