"Nine requisites for contented living: Health enough to make work a pleasure. Wealth enough to support your needs. Strength enough to battle with difficulties and overcome them. Grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them. Patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished. Charity enough to see some good in your neighbor. Love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others. Faith enough to make real the things of God. Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future."
-- JoHann von Goethe
Sometimes the only thing we don't have enough of is the realization that we already have more than enough to be happy. Happiness is not a condition, it is a choice, and just as we can choose to be patient and charitable and strong, we can choose to be happy, too, no matter how little of anything we may think we have.
