Some people may complicate it for you, but the formula is simple: Love God more than anything else. More than your ego. More than your money. More than your desires...More than your sleep at dawn. Love God more than anything else, and submission comes natural. Love God more than anything else, and all goodness will follow.

And know that only a heart fixed on the unmoving spot can ride the waves of this ever-changing, ever-fading life.
