Know that there is no single way that life is "supposed" to be.

is a sure fire recipe for a miserable existence.

to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.

inventiveness, and service that they contribute.
In this world-view, money that is spent
or given away returns multiplied.
