The only way to put an end to the ruler of these negative thoughts and emotions is to develop awareness.
True happiness is when the love within us finds its expression through external activities.
Only those who are humble can receive God's grace. In someone who perceives God's presence in everything, there is no room for the ego. So the first quality we need to develop within ourselves is humility.
The more you give, the more you will have, like an endless spring that flows into the well as you draw water.
The tree can't emerge until the outer shell of the seed breaks. Similarly, you cannot know the Truth without totally destroying the ego.
Once we develop the attitude that "I am love, the embodiment of love," then we need not wander in search of peace for peace will come in search of us.
When we take each step forward with positive thoughts and a smile, all good qualities will come to us and fill our being. Then God cannot possibly stay away from us.
