FOR CONTENTED LIVING
There are eight requisites for contented living :

1) health enough - to make work a pleasure
2) wealth enough - to support your needs
3) strength - to battle with difficulties and overcome them
4) grace enough - to confess your sins and forsake them
5) patience enough - to toil until some good is accomplished
6) charity enough - to see some good in your neighbour
7) faith enough - to make real the things of God
8) hope enough - to remove all anxious fear concerning the future
