I've always felt that your belongings have never been on a level with you.
Don't imagine that your perfection lies in accumulating or possessing external things. Your affection is inside of you.
Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have.
If you wish to care for your body, first of all take care of material things, though even when you have all the things you want, the body can still be uncared for
Men are a thousand times more intent on becoming rich than on acquiring culture, though it is quite certain that what a man IS contributes more to his happiness than what he HAS.
Grant that I may become beautiful in my soul within, and that all my external possessions may be in harmony with my inner self. May I consider the wise to be rich, and may I have such riches as only a person of self-restraint can bear or endure.
Getting what you want will not change your life at the Being Level, so don't let what you have determine 'who you are', otherwise you will always feel dissatisfied.
Until you are happy with who you are, you will never be happy because of what you have.
