Contentment is the highest gain. A friend is the highest relation. Peace is the highest bliss.
Buddha
Dhammapada
Meaning:
This teaching ranks the values of life. No material gain can equal the value of a satisfied mind. The ultimate state of existence is the absolute peace of the soul.

Daily Application

Remind yourself of your priorities. Is what you are chasing today more important than your peace? If it is not, then do not let it stress you out. Value your inner state above all else.
