You will live wisely if you are happy in your lot.

When my body gets to the point where I can no longer function or feel gratitude, then I'll leave it and become grateful again.

My life... I'm really happy with what I've got. If I get more things, I will be happy, but if not, I won't be frustrated.

It's so much easier to be happy. It's so much easier to choose to love the things that you have, instead of always yearning for what you're missing, or what it is that you're imagining you're missing. It is so much more peaceful.
