only a fixed quantity of each resource -
a limited amount of food, of money,

inventiveness, and service that they contribute.

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

Our only path to happiness lies in being open
to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.
