[slice_of_life]

Make a list.

What are the things you want out of life?

List them in order of priority.

Go after each item on the list.

Realize that you may or may not get each item you want but that the thrill is as much in the chase as it is in the outcome.

Realize there's nothing wrong with material success. I've seen both riches and extreme poverty. Riches are better.

My list is literally the first thing I see when I wake up; it's on the wall I face when I wake up.
